Dear God ... 🥺😳

King Charles III is a descendant of Dracula and owns properties in Transylvania

The former Prince of Wales is the heir to Vlad the Impaler's bloodline

The Royal Family has links to several countries across Europe, including Romania, and it turns out that King Charles is the descendant of the real-life Dracula. Formerly known as Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, Charles III actually owns several properties in Transylvania, is the heir to Vlad the Impaler's bloodline.

In 1462, following a battle, Vlad left a field filled with thousands of impaled victims. More than 530 years later, in 1998, King Charles found out about his links to the Romanian ruler.

He is, in fact, his great-grandson 16 times removed, through the consort of George V, Queen Mary... a genealogical tree in The British Chronicles written by David Hughes supports this claim.

Speaking of inbred...his parents are cousins...yes?

It's not that I'm oddly fascinated by inbreeding. It's more a matter of concern. I'm troubled by the problems which it can cause. Even today 1st cousins within Muslim communities EVERYWHERE INCLUDING AUSTRALIA are STILL allowed to marry and have children. That's not healthy or safe.

Some background information for context (before I'm accused of being racist etc).

In some parts of Mediterranean culture it WAS customary for 2nd and 3rd cousins to marry IF their last names were different (their fathers and grandfathers etc had to have a different surname)

This practice stopped at around 1920. By this time many Greeks were ethnically cleansed/had fled for their lives into mainland Greece because the Ottoman Muslim Turks had taken over their homeland.

Note : No first cousins were ever allowed to marry irrespective of their surnames being different etc.

Many Aussies of Anglo Saxon Celt origin do not fully understand the fact that in some parts of the world ethnicity and culture is linked and defined BY religion.

So for many years, Greeks stuck together and married within their own village. After marriage they stayed in said village. After a while ...neighbours doubled up as distant relatives.

Italy didn't have this problem because of its geographical location in Europe.

So on my Greek side of the family I have a family tree consisting of many missing people who were ethnically cleansed PLUS family members with a recurring inherited Mediterranean blood disorder ( Thalassemia ). I was born with Thalassemia MINOR. It turns out my mum also had Thalassemia Minor. It's terrible esp during pregnancy as I was essentially bed ridden with next level fatigue. All my children have had blood tests. No one has it thank God.

Can you now all see why I keep encouraging the mixing of different ethnic heritage backgrounds? It's important to breed out any of these and other types of blood disorders.

Note : One of my cousins had Thalassemia MAJOR. She looked like she was suffering from leukaemia all the time and was in and out of hospital with blood transfusions etc. She died before age 21.

Terrible situation.

Unfortunately this cousin inbreeding phenomenon occurs today and not just in remote areas. It's part n parcel of arranged marriages too. By that I mean parents introduce and encourage their children to marry into certain families. The children who end up getting married are usually young and totally emotionally swayed into thinking and believing that what they're doing is right and respectful in their community.

Look I don't expect non Mediterranean people who post on OzPol to fully grasp what I'm saying. I'm pretty sure some who may be reading this post will be thinking along the lines of such children being emotionally abused and made to feel guilty or even face being shunned if they don't comply with their parent's ideas. What's not understood is this : such parents are trying to safeguard their children's future by marrying them into families which are very well known to them. That's the objective.

The reality? Miserable marriages, miserable children and grandchildren and chronic blood disorders which affect health and safety and cause more misery.

I've always spoken FOR marrying outside of your ethnic cultural group. In fact I did and ALL my brothers and sisters have done so. Sure our children look different to us in that they're fair haired, blue/hazel eyed little Aussies with Aussie sounding names but they still identify as being of Greek and Italian as well as Anglo Celtic descent and these cultures are tightly held and respected by them.

Most importantly....the children are healthy and happy. One other thing I've noticed is this : I can see that they respect other cultures more readily too. They're not as insular.

Anyway ... back to the topic. The Queen and Prince Philip were  cousins.

"Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II were cousins through Queen Victoria.

Philip's mother, Princess Alice, was born in 1885 in the presence of her great-grandmother Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle, according to Town & Country. Windsor Castle — where Prince Philip's mother was born in the 19th century — is where the duke died.

Prince Philip was related to Queen Victoria as a great-great-grandson through his maternal side, and his future wife was related to the same queen through her paternal family.

King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, was a great-grandson of Queen Victoria.

That made Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth third cousins."



Victoria married her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1840. Their children married into royal and noble families across the continent, earning Victoria the sobriquet "the grandmother of Europe" and spreading haemophilia in European royalty.

Oh dear 🥺
