King Charles III is living a slower, simpler life in Transylvania, Romania, in a modest setting without modern amenities like WiFi or TV, featuring traditional furnishings and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Prince of Wales Guesthouse in Transylvania, Romania, owned by King Charles, offers commoners the chance to stay in one of seven rustic rooms for about $200 a night, meals included. The guesthouse is far from luxurious, but it offers a unique experience in a quiet corner of the world where time seems to have stopped. The profits from operations go to the Prince of Wales Foundation in Romania, which supports educational programming and skills training. The guesthouse is a nod to the king's heritage, as he is related to Countess Claudine Rhédey von Kis-Rhéde, who was born in Transylvania and is a great-great grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II.
