King Charles III is due to make his first trip abroad after the coronation in June. The regent usually visits Transylvania in May or June to hike in the mountains and paint near his home in Viscri.

His lineage can be traced back through the bloodline of his great-grandmother Mary of Teck to Vlad IV, the half-brother of the notorious ruler. Charles revealed to "Hobbit" actor Luke Evans that he is related to Vlad Dracula.
