Transylvania runs in my blood
An ardent supporter of conservation of the cultural and natural heritage in
Transylvania, HRH Prince of Wales arrived on a hill in
Saschiz, in County
Mureş on 7 May 2008, around mid day, to meet local agricultural producers
and taste some of the local traditional delights.
The heir to the British Royal Crown declared himself delighted with the lamb
pastrami with polenta, of which he tasted next to an iron kettle, and with the
different cheeses, honey and rhubarb jam.

As he was sitting down at a table with the press, Prince Charles
declared that he feels a special bond with Transylvania, saying that
the place is probably in his blood. This was a reference to the fact
that his great-great-great-grandmother, Countess Claudia Rhedley,
lived in the area and is buried at St. George of the Forest (Sângeorgiu
de Pădure).
Beyond the family ties, he said he has a special interest in this
place, in particular the Carpathian zone "which is almost untouched".
Taking time to speak with the people, the Prince was told in details how many
animals the farmers have, and how they take care of them. The heir was
interested if the producers associated themselves to sell better and if they
participate at markets and expositions.
This way he found out that the producers go to Bucharest, at the Romanian
Farmers' Market, to display organic produce. This is the seventh visit Prince
Charles makes (five private, two official) after 1990.
Charles is a supporter of the Romanian ecological agriculture, through his
foundation
Transylvania Authentica.
The organization proposes to promote a so-called "Transylvanian brand" and to
encourage small local producers to continue traditional agriculture.
Transylvania Authentica is a joint initiative of the Foundation for Partnership
from Miercurea Ciuc and of the foundation The Prince's Charities from Great
Britain.
