BUCHAREST, Romania — Britain’s Prince Charles reconnected with one of his ancestors on Friday, walking past a statue of Vlad the Impaler during a tour of Bucharest on his final day in Romania.
The prince’s three-nation trip is seen as an effort to reassure European Union nations that Britain remains a close ally despite its impending departure from the bloc.
During his tour of the old city, Charles also visited a project that offers restoration support to historical buildings in disrepair.
Charles owns two properties in Romania’s northwest Transylvania region which he visits yearly. He is on tour to “highlight the U.K.’s relationship with European partners” in areas such as military ties and combatting human trafficking, according to his website.
