Prince Charles Continues Strengthening Relationship With Romania On Second Day Of Visit

The Prince of Wales has continued his official visit to Romania today, focusing today on the culture of the Balkan nation.

He began at Bucharest’s Village Museum, a popular tourist attraction that promotes Romania’s cultural heritage. Here, Charles toured the museum, viewing different traditional crafts. The Prince absolutely delighted locals when he joined in on a traditional folk dance.

Afterwards, Prince Charles visited the Vacaresti Nature Park where rangers walked him through par of the park and informed him of the wildlife that live there. Following a meeting with Patriarch Daniel of the Romanian Orthodox Church and a visit to the Patriarchal Cathedral, the Prince then visited one of his patronages, the FARA Foundation.

Here, one of the day’s top photographs was taken, when a young girl named Antonia gave the Prince a kiss on the cheek as he arrived at the centre. The organisation – one of the oldest British-run charities in Romania – provides assistance to vulnerable children and youth.

Prince Charles ended his day at the British Embassy where he participated in a meeting discussing modern slavery. He also had a private meeting with Crown Princess Margareta and Prince Radu of Romania at the Elisabeta Palace.
