Camilla totally wikipediaed that one. it turns out dracula emerged out of a vampire genre of sorts. there's some discussion of the coalescence of the "bigfoot" character in the cryptid thread if you're interested in discussion of a similar process

Weird thing about Dracula is that the original book is really a far cry from what you'd expect from its adaptations, it's a first-person epistolary narrative that was basically a techno-thriller for its day with the constant showing off of cutting-edge technology. Also, there's a cowboy in it.

Not only is there a cowboy in it - well, an American, he's not exactly a cowboy - but he's the one who kills Dracula. 90 years of movies have taught us that Abraham van Helsing killed Dracula with a wooden stake and a crucifix, but actually Quincey Morris did it with a Bowie knife while van Helsing never even went on the mission because he was too old.

The son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Archie, is currently seventh in line, according to Wikipedia. Four people, Prince William and his three kids, would have to die for him to be on the main line of succession (since William is Harry's older brother, and his line therefore takes precedent). And also obviously the three generations above him (his great-grandmother QEII, his grandfather Charles, and his father Harry) would have to die before he became king. I've played a fair bit of Crusader Kings, so I can definitively say that Prince Harry's mistake was not plotting to murder his brother before he had three kids; now he's gotta do four murders if he wants to be in line for the throne, and that's a lot of work.

Didn't they quit the royal family altogether, effectively putting them and their offspring off the list of succession?

I think they quit royal duties, but harry's still closer to the throne than Charles' pedo brother.
