You have to question as to why this news has hit today, just days before the release of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, but it seems that Robert Pattinson is indeed related to the Prince of Darkness, and no we don’t refer to Ozzy Osbourne, but the original, Vlad The Impaler!
Genealogists say the 24-year-old “Twilight” star is related to Vlad the Impaler, widely cited as the inspiration for the main character in Bram Stoker’s “Dracula.”
Researchers at Ancestry.com discovered that Pattinson and the Transylvanian leader (real name: Vlad III Dracula) are connected through their relationship to the British royal family. Prince William and Prince Harry are Pattinson’s distant cousins; Vlad the Impaler was their distant uncle.
