the royalty in the past few months are backed up by great

powers' jaw-dropping scenarios brewed in their back labs

regarding Romania and Bulgaria.

A possible return to monarchy in the two countries is considered to be a future alternative.

The prince heir of the United Kingdom, who is preparing to renounce the throne to his son

William, could become the future king Charles III of Romania. The Romanian Intelligence

Service and Foreign Intelligence Service are in full alert.

In 2006, the Prince of Wales was invited to become the head of the state of a country he liked

very much: Romania, according to a British historian. In the past 6 months, diplomatic

sources have declared for ZIUA de CLUJ, a regional daily, that the foreign prince' scenario

is one - among others - which has stirred debates in European media. At the same time, theRomanian Royal House, related to the one in the UK, is being attacked on all fronts by

president Bsescu while Prince Charles is doing the greatest favor to Romanian on Travel

Chanel: he revealed that Romanian king (voivode) Vlad the Impaler was his ancestor, and

spoke of Transylvania, where he owns some property, as a unique treasure of Europe.

Associated Press went beyond when connecting the Prince of Wales to the former Romanian

voivode: Charles becomes "a stake in Romania's future".

The idea of a foreign prince in Romania first appeared in 2006 from a renowned historian.

According to ZIUA de CLUJ's diplomatic sources, the possibility is being discussed in high

European levels. Tom Gallagher, the famed British historian and columnist, one of the

heavyweight specialists in the history of Romania, noted in an editorial in Romania Liber, a

national daily, on June 30, 2006, that Prince Charles was invited to become "the head of a

state" he dearly loved, Romania. The context was broader in an editorial entitled "The

European Scapegoat", as quoted: "And if, hypothetically speaking, His Royal Highness

(Prince Charles - n. red.) were determined to renounce waiting for his royal mother to pass

away, studied Romanian and were to accept the invitation to become the head of a state he

loved dearly - given his frequent visits and endeavors to protect a heritage often under threat

- might make him perhaps the best ruler Romania ever had since Charles I". (The article is

only available on print, as it misses from Romania Liber's electronic archive, even though

the same author's editorials of June 29 and July 2 2006 are still available. The one of June 30

2006 is nowhere to be found, irrespective of the search engine - n. red.).

Romania's best brand ambassador...

...is the same Prince Charles. On Sunday, October 30, two days from now, Travel Chanel will

broadcast the "Wild Charpatia" (the Wild Carpathians) series of four episodes. The film will

be translated into 20 languages and will be available in 119 countries around the world. A

production preview took place in the Bucharest club Luft Lounge, in the presence ofrepresentatives of the Romanian Royal House and of the ministry of Tourism, Elena Udrea.

The head producer of the documentary is Paul Lister, and the foundation he presides, The

European Nature Trust. The documentary's co-producer and presenter Charlie Ottley

ventures to the heart of the Carpathians and in dark Carpathian forests. This is perhaps

Europe's last wild region, where bears, wolves and shy lynxes live, according to capital.ro. In

the trailer, Charlie Ottley is interviewing Prince Charles at his Scottish residence, where the


4/13

Prince of Wales proves Vlad the Impaler's blood flows through his veins. "After a very nice

shot in which we captured wild birds right next to the house renovated by Prince Charles in

Valea Zalanului, we went and spoke to him in Scotland, in his near-Belmont residence. We

drove through arid wilderness with no trees. During the documentary you can spot the

amazing contrast between what you can see in Romania in comparison to Scotland", CharlieOttley, presenter and co-producer of "Wild Carpathia", declared for gandul.info.

"I love Romania for her eternity. A remarkable thing. It is almost as in my childhood

fairytales. People here can only wish to cherish the same attachment to the land. We have to

rediscover these feelings, to come back to them, and I want to make sure this way of life will

continue", Charles, Prince of Wales, declared, a famous endorser and promoter of Romanian

values. "My genealogy shows I am the descendant of Vlad the Impaler, so I am connected to

Romania", the prince says.

Associated Press: Charles holds "stakes in Romania's future"


5/13

In fact, Associated Press' London Office published yesterday the headline "Prince Charles

claims Vlad the Impaler as ancestor", with the following article: "Truth revealed: Prince

Charles is related to Vlad the Impaler. The successor to the British crown claims blood ties to

Vlad the Impaler, the bloodthirsty Romanian ruler of the 15th century, Bram Stoker's

inspiration for Dracula (1897). He stated this in a TV show, soon to be released to express hisinterest in protecting Transylvania's wild forests. Charles claims his genealogy proved blood

ties to Vlad the Impaler, which explain his stakes in Romania's future. The Prince has been a

fierce forest conservationist and even bought a house in Transylvania. In a trip to Romania

early in the year, the prince referred to Transylvania as a national treasure due to its

unaltered landscape and centuries old farming traditions."

Transylvanian blood in the veins: my great-great-great-grandmother is from

this area

"Transylvania is probably in my blood", Prince Charles once said, and then he expressed his

love for Transylvania as a "special realm", according to Mediafax in May 2008, on a princely

visit. Charles said his great-great-great-grandmother, Countess Claudia Rhedley, was buried

in Mures, and from Saschiz he would visit her tomb, in Sangeorgiu de Padure, to pay his

respect. Prince Charles also said that beyond the family ties he cherished special interest in

the land, especially the "almost pristine" Carpathian area. Through the "Mihai Eminescu"

foundation, Prince Charles is financing the reconditioning of several Transylvanian edifices,

providing some of the funds for the renovation of the Banffy palace in Bontida.

Anything is possible, but we need a referendum

In the opinion of contemporary history professor Virgil Tarau with the Contemporary

History Department and International Relations of the Faculty of History and Philosophy of

the "Babes-Bolyai" University (UBB), any change in the system of government needs to

observe constitutional provisions, including the change of the fundamental law trough

referendum. "Now we have a constitutional mechanism. The system of government was

decided in the 1991 Constitution, as well as the leverages to alter it, but the referendum is

mandatory. It is in the power of a nation to choose its form of government, the monarchy

included", the Cluj historian declared. In his opinion, a foreign prince - a utopian idea - needsto be approved by popular vote, in a referendum.

There is succession

UBB rector, professor Andrei Marga, claims that a foreign prince has already been brought

here and the succession has already been agreed on. "The first foreign prince brought in


6/13

Romania was Charles I, with his line of successors, so there's no telling how one can come up

with another, as there's no escaping the current one", the rector said. In his opinion, the issue

of the form of government is prone for debate. "In Italy, for example, a decision was taken in

this respect. We procrastinated it after 1989. I think Romania should take a decision in this

respect, if the people wants a republic or a monarchy", UBB rector concluded.

Related Royalties

The Prince of Wales is related to King Michael I of Romania, first cousin thrice removed to

Queen Elisabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

Bsescu, unexpected attack on the king

On June 22 2011, apparently off-topic, president Traian Bsescu launched a fierce attack on

the Romanian Royalty in a show on B1 TV. "Why do we still consider that King Michael's

abdication was a great patriotic act? It was not, it was high treason to Romania's national

interest", Basescu declared. He added that everybody holds general Ion Antonescu, the


7/13

Romanian WWII leader, responsible for the Jewish and Roma holocaust, yet we seem to

forget Romania had a head of state. "Everybody blames Antonescu for the Jewish and Roma

populations' holocaust, their deportation to the Trans-Dniester region, but nobody says that

the Romanian state head was somebody else, and he (Antonescu) was just the premier",

Bsescu said.

"We give some their fortunes back, and we blame others as war criminals. The head of state

and the premier, just because one was a Russian servant and abdicated the throne to flee the

country, is forgiven of all sins", the president concluded referring to King Michael I. The

president referred to King Michael again one day before His Majesty's 90th anniversary,

when invited to deliver a speech in the Parliament of Romania, more than six decades later.

President Traian Bsescu declared he would not attend the event because he had no reason

to. As for any messages he would like to address to the king, he retorted bluntly. "A message?

What for?", Basescu asked. In the opinion of sociologist Mircea Coma, Bsescu's attacks on

the king are "fearless" of any monarchic re-instauration. "Polls have shown throughout time

that pro-monarchy is only envisaged by up to 10% of the population, with variations from

one polling agency to the next. So I cannot believe the monarchy enjoys appreciation and

would be allowed to assume power", Coma said. The sociologist blamed Bsescu's attacks on

electoral or "other, sociology unrelated" grounds. "Perhaps the president does not want to be

considered a supporter of the monarchy, or they (the attacks - n. red.) relate to other, non-

sociological reasons", Coma declared.

One more attack on royalty

The day after the king's speech, the self-proclaimed prince Paul of Romania - declined as

such by the Romanian royalty - continued the attacks in an open letter: "You used beautiful

words, some in interesting, even poetic phrases, some with double meaning, in a speech

meant to be memorable. But, before anything else, of all the years you claim to have served

the Romanian people, we have to deduct the 50 years of communism when you did nothing

for this nation, apart from wishing them Merry Christmas or Happy Easter!", Paul wrote,

quoted by Hotnews. He is the illegitimate nephew of King Charles II - the son of Carol Mircea

Grigore of Hohenzollern (the illegitimate son of Charles II and step brother to King Michael),

according to the same sources. In fact, Bsescu and Paul of Romania share a special bond:the president baptized one of Paul's children last year...

The Royal Way for Romania?


8/13

The special jubilee of King Michael's celebration of his 90th anniversary triggered great

patriotic emotion and brought the nation to a consensus on the monarchy's historicimportance in forming and consolidating the modern, united Romania. The boycott of this

celebration by the executive - government and president - also revealed a great historical

schism, according to Reuters.

President Traian Bsescu vehemently attacked King Michael lately, accusing him of treason

with his 1947 abdication, and called him a slave to the Russians. This vindictive and

aggressive anti-royal attitude stirred great opprobrium among the population, but also

mobilized Bsescu's loyalists, who tried to reanimate and capitalize on the populist anti-

monarchic resentment we thought buried in early 90s. The president and the sycophants

then switched to pseudo-historic arguments to evince the alleged royal guilt that the king was

manipulated by political intrigues of the opposition. He also launched a fierce attack against

Prince Duda for undermining the Romanian constitution, by taking inoffensive remarks in a

TV show out of context. Why the venom against a prince consort who had an attempted

candidature to presidency in 2009? Even if he had a disproportionate influence on the king,

why risk through sheer rudeness and disrespect to the former sovereign to stupefy the vast


9/13

republican majority? Evenimentul Zilei even launched a fallacy on the king's birthday,

October 25, that the old enemies of the president would attempt a parliamentary coup

shielded by the king's speech before the Reunited Chambers of the Parliament, to reinstate

monarchy. The directors are media mogul Dan Voiculescu in cahoots with the liberals, who

had the initiative to invite the king in the parliament.

Emil Hurezeanu, the only journalist in King Michael's suite during his historical Easter visit

of 1992, said on Realitatea TV that in 1992 some generals tried to lure the king into a coup.

The king respectfully denied, out of respect for democracy and the Constitution. I know from

confidential sources that major pro-monarchy political leaders have tried to persuade

Michael I of appointing Prince Nicholas, his grandchild, the son of Princess Helena, as the

dynasty's heir. It was an important project which would involve bringing the prince to

Romania, educate him, acclimatize him to Romanian customs and the people. There is a

precedent in this respect, as Boris Yeltin, with his Russian communist mindset, took the

initiative to ask grand duke Duce Vladimir, descendent of Russia's Imperial Family, to send

his nephew to the Naval Academy of Sankt Petersburg to become a true Russian. Michael or

perhaps influent members of the family and entourage were refractory to the project. The

mass-media launched an assumption that Basescu's obstinate opposition to the king

originated from the president's privileged access to one or more documents recently

declassified from secret service archives, be they FSB, former KGB or the British MI 5 or 6,

which would incriminate the king more or less subjectively on one or another aspect of his

career.

Possibly, no king is an angel, but this is not enough for the president to oppose the consensus

on Michael's historical importance to switch camps in August 23, 1944, when we declared

war on Nazi Germany, our former ally, and to defy the unanimous respect he enjoyed in the

West and East as WWII's last surviving head of state. The king's speech before the

Parliament, simple, concise, yet meaningful and replete with political ideas on the great

problems of the Romanian state and society, echoed both in the country and abroad. A

notorious royalty opponent like Ion Cristoiu wrote that the speech was that of a ruling

monarch, not just an anniversary, 90-year message, dwelling on the idea of a political

conspiracy of occult origin. Sociologist Vasile Dncu wrote that the monarchy plays no future

political role in Romania, it is just the resuscitation of an identity nostalgia and polls show

that just 12% of the Romanians cherish monarchist feelings.


10/13

The entire world press mirrored the historical event with generosity, from the New York

Times to the Izvestia. Never in a long time had anyone written so much and so positively

about Romania. The daily Le Monde dedicated a whole page to the king, calling him the Man

of the Week, The Economist in London wrote that unfortunately the speech was too short

and came too late, explained the tragic destiny of a misfortunate king now applauded by the

same members of the political spectrum who after the 1989 Revolution slandered and

detracted him, insisted on the young king hostage to Antonescu, then to communists, who on

ripe age was overwhelmed by the matriarchal influence, how he became alienated from his

father, who had bestowed royal education onto him, and had no sons, only daughters. The

international press unisoned in highlighting the boycott of the current power against the

royal jubilee. The king was joined by the king and queen of Sweden, the queen of Spain, the

grand Duchess Maria of Russia, king Simeon II of Bulgaria, the Serbian heir prince,

Alexander II. At the royal dinner, Princess Muna of Jordan, very close to the diplomatic and

security elites from Washington to Jerusalem, was seated to the left of Michael.

More ambassadors and diplomats attended the royal festivities then previously announced,

all resplendent in their official plenipotentiary standing as states representatives. Why does

Bsescu fear him? Does he really think that Dan Voiculescu or even Clin Popescu Triceanu,

his long political enemies, can manipulate the king into the opposition's political


11/13

conspiracies? The event was also attended by one of the most influent advisors of the longest

ruling monarch alive, Jonathan Eyal, reputed politologist, former Oxford professor, born in

Romania, fluent in Romanian, the most important British specialist in East European

political-military affairs, head of the international security department of RUSI, the geo-

political and strategy institute of the Royal British Armed Forces. What is certain is thatOctober 25 relaunched a debate on the legitimacy of the monarchic alternative for Romania

and dwells on the constitutional uncertainty of our semi-presidential republic.

It is hard to be a king in Romania, The Economist wrote, but I think it is unsustainable to be

a republican either. Not when the republic is the offspring of the soviet puppet sate which

usurped the Kingdom of Romania in 1947. Maybe Basescu is trembling due to recent rumors

on reactivating the monarchy in Romania in the backstage of the Euro-Atlantic theater with

Michael's 4th cousin once removed, Prince Charles of Wales. The hypothesis was first

launched by Tom Gallagher in 2006 are can set the local political imagination ablaze and

overthrow abulia stricken clichs that the monarchy is obsolete and inadequate for Romania.

The first heir to the throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain could become King

Charles III of Romania. Coincidence or not, as we write this the British press is debating on

an Associated Press communiqu about the blood connection between Charles and the

Wallachian ruler Vlad III, known as the Impaler. The heir to the British crown said this

genealogy legitimated his profound bond to Romania and grants him stakes in our future.

The Prince of Wales is deeply dedicated to Romania's natural and historic heritage.

He expressed a gracious reverence to our spirituality. Many a times he became a pilgrim to

orthodox churches in Bucovina and Oltenia, in the far north and the south of the country. He

recently declared that in Transylvania there is a unique, extraordinary relationship between

the natural ecosystem and the human cultural system. This symbiosis, His Highness

declared, is extremely important because people need this sense of belonging, identity and

community now more than ever. Historian Doru Radosav believes the relation between the

gore loving Wallachian prince and the House of Windsor originates from the matrimonial

filiations of Transylvanian nobility and Hungarian royalty. Vlad, born in Sighioara, first

married princess Bathory, then a member of the Szilagy clan, and then his third wife was

cousin to famed Hungarian king Matthew Corvinus. In a speech held in England in April

1989, Charles harshly criticized Ceausescu's policy to destroy Romanian villages to make

more room for agriculture, claiming personal involvement in the matter as his ancestor,

Claudina Rhedey, was buried in Sangeorgiu de Padure.

The Daily Mail wrote today about the feature common to both the British royal family and

the legendary Vlad: an ailment, porphyria, a lack of iron in the blood, which would have

given birth to the vampire myth. There are occult connections through the genealogy of


12/13

secret societies between Vlad the Impaler, immortalized as Dracula, and the British

dynasties. Sir Laurence Gardner, Scottish historian and genealogist, said the Romanian

voivode fought next to Sigismund of Luxembourg, the Roman-German emperor, the founder

of the Royal and Imperial Order and Court of the Dragon. Created after the formation of the

Templars' Order, its purpose was to unify the aristocracy under the coat of arms of the HolyRoman-German Empire against the Vatican's pontifical power. Europe's blue blood is far

from impotent. The Order of the Dragon is directly related to the European Council of the

Princes, an elite organization of European nobility which participated in the creation of the

Bilderberg think-tank. Allegedly, most of the American presidents are related with British

royals, according to Burke's Peerage & Baronetage. Known as the "bible of aristocracy",

published in London by Harold Brooks - Baker, it traces the royal genealogies in Great

Britain and Ireland. In an article in People Magazine, from 3rd of march 2008, british

genealogist Robert Barrett claims that the president in office of the USA, Barack Obama, is

related, through his mother Ann with Wallis, Dutchess of Windsor.

infowars.com claims that both John Kerry and Bush, candidates in the presidential campaign

of 2004, members of the Skull and Bones fraternity created at the University of Yale, are

descendants of Vlad the Impaler. More profanely, Romania's Royal House is double related

to the Windsor dynasty. Queen Maria, Michael's grandmother, the wife of the king of the

Great Union, Ferdinand, was princess of Edinburgh, the daughter of Alfred de Saxa - Coburg

Gotha, the second son of Empress Victoria. The mother of our queen was Grand Duchess

Maria, the daughter of Czar Alexander II of Russia.

On the maternal line, Michael is related to Victoria, a true hen of the European monarchy.

Radosav also believes that the monarchy can be a solution for Romania due to the fact that

dynasties were the first cement of the united Europe, anticipating today's Union, given their

network, symbiotic and rooting. We need the monarchy, he says, because the king plays a

reuniting role, he emanates love and generosity for his subjects, he is not the product of an

antithetic electoral process, so corrosive in Romania. Radosav concluded about this

Romanian-British connection: "The king's speech was Oscar winning, in the aftermath of a

wedding skillfully staged of a true heir to the throne, Prince William who, just like the royal

jubilee in Bucharest, reenacts the monarchic idea. Both events have been orchestrated by the

extremely nimble marketing of the monarchic dynastic."

Breaking news: Prince Charles wants to save Dracula's woods

The Prince of Wales has joined a campaign to salvage "the fairytale woods" in Romania,

reminding everybody yet again of his Vlad the Impaler-related genealogy. The famed


13/13

mysterious forests of the Carpathians, which once inspired vampire legends, are some of the

last wild areas in Europe still pristine, The Telegraph notes.
