The last Count Dracula is decrepit and childless, and is seeking an apdotive heir to carry the name.

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.”
