elionwyrCount Dracula looks for new blood
Count Dracula wants to adopt an heir.
The family name is in danger of dying out because the current Count is 61 and resigned to having no children.
Now Ottomar Rudolphe Vlad Dracula Prinz Kretzulesco has decided to continue the tradition of European nobility of adopting when there is no suitable blood relation to carry on the family name.
He has called on any European nobility to contact him by letter enclosing a photograph.
He said: "I would be pleased to hear from practically any prince or princess.
"We would like to adopt, but a real prince or princess. I cannot just take anyone from the street."
He told The Independent: "It would probably be easier if it were to be a German but I would also be very happy for a British aristocrat to come and be adopted."
Count Dracula now lives in Castle Dracula in the village of Schenkendorf in Germany.
He has spent the past decade as a publicity booster for the country's blood donor service.
