Bucharest, Mar 30 (AP) Britain\u2019s Prince Charles joined in a traditional folk dance today during his visit to Romania, Italy and Austria, a trip seen as an effort to reassure European Union nations that Britain remains a close ally.<\/p>\n

The prince\u2019s nine-day tour with his wife, Camilla, is designed to \u201chighlight the UK\u2019s relationship with European partners\u201d in areas such as military ties and combatting human trafficking, according to his official website.<\/p>\n

Today, Charles visited the Village Museum in the Romanian capital Bucharest, which features rural houses from the country\u2019s different regions.<\/p>\n

He also joined women and girls dressed in embroidered peasant blouses in a traditional jig known as \u201chora,\u201d and watched craftsmen painting eggs and religious icons on stone and wood.<\/p>\n

Charles is enamored of Romania\u2019s rural traditions and owns two properties in the northwest Transylvania region, which he visits every year. He even boasts of sharing common lineage with Vlad the Impaler, the 15th century Romanian prince.<\/p>\n

Later today the royal will visit the Vacaresti wetland park, which was developed from a project initiated by late Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu in 1986 to connect Bucharest to the River Danube, 60 kilometers south of the city.<\/p>\n

The project was abandoned after communism ended in 1989.<\/p>\n
