<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These images sparked vivid debate, but most of the Instagram users say that the guy in the reel resembles MrBeast and is indeed MrBeast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although MrBeast has yet to confirm his presence in the region officially, various additional clues indicate his presence. These include local sightings and aviation data indicating his arrival via a private jet from Greenville, USA.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Is MrBeast?</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tucker Carlson is a former Fox News host famous for his (sometimes controversial) conservative views. He hosted the nightly political talk show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News from 2016 to 2023. Lately, he started his own interviews, which he publishes on his social media channels.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He interviewed <a href="https://valahia.news/tate-brothers-free-march-31/">Andrew Tate</a> in his house in Bucharest and Viktor Orban in Budapest, to name the last ones he met. And right after visiting Romania, Carlson made an awful joke about Transylvania during his speech in Budapest. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The world is realigning at high speed, and turning against the United States. But the Biden Administration is spending its time harassing one of our last sincere allies in Europe, Hungary, for the crime of being too Christian. Watch.<br><br>(Tucker&#39;s Speech in Budapest) <a href="https://t.co/yppDft6YIi">pic.twitter.com/yppDft6YIi</a></p>&mdash; Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) <a href="https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1695254001791406210?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 26, 2023</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Precisely, if you don&#8217;t have time to browse the video in the X post above, he stated, addressing the Hungarian audience, that:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>You&#8217;re not rolling across the border to reclaim territory you lost after the First World War. That could happen, but it&#8217;s not happening now anyway. <strong>Transylvania is safe in Romanian hands at the moment. </strong></p><cite>Tucker Carlson on Transylvania during speech in Budapest</cite></blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, this wouldn&#8217;t be the first or the last revisionist comment on Transylvania. But, when it comes from an international TV and internet personality like Carlson, it tends to stick longer to public consciousness. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Either way, this remark made Carlson lose good points in Romania, which is generally closer to Republican views than the American former host could conceive. And this is not something he imagined when he joked about Transylvania while delivering the speech in Hungary&#8217;s Capital city.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tourists who arrive in the village of Viscri in Brașov county can visit the traditional Saxon house of Prince Charles, writes <a href="https://www.hotnews.ro/stiri-esential-25705648-pot-descoperi-turistii-casa-printului-charles-din-viscri.htm">hotnews.ro</a>. The property is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and hosts two special exhibitions focusing on the conservation of spontaneous flora and built heritage.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>As tourists visiting Viscri have always been very keen to see and learn as much as possible about the connection that HRH The Prince of Wales has with the village, the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation decided in 2021 to transform the house in Viscri into an open house that speaks about his passion for traditional architecture, sustainable agriculture, the protection of biodiversity and our valuable cultural heritage &#8211; in other words, about the love of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales for Romania. </p><cite>Mihai Grigore, administrator of the Prince of Wales House in Whisper.</cite></blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Purchased in 2006, following the visits of the Prince of Wales to the area, the house at Viscri 163 functioned as a guesthouse until 2021, being an example of good practices in transforming a simple country house into a space where tourists can appreciate the beauty of traditional architecture, they can taste local products and enjoy nature.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The converted courtyard of the house at 163 Viscri today houses the permanent exhibition <em>The Transylvania Florilegium</em>, highlighting the first books of this quality dedicated to the plants of this region, commissioned by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, a passionate supporter of the preservation of this precious environment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tourists can taste local products</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The paintings of the floristry were created by some of the best contemporary botanical artists in the world, who for five years visited Transylvania, studying the flora in the area of ​​the properties of HRH Prince of Wales in Viscri and Valea Zălanului.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Transylvanian floristry, scientific information accompanies each of the 124 botanical illustrations, grouped in two volumes that will bring awareness to the diversity and beauty of the Transylvanian flora and inspire people to help preserve it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Visiting the House of the Prince of Wales in Viscri, tourists will discover a simple, traditional Saxon household and can taste local products in the cafe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While walking through the gardens, visitors will learn about the summer schools organized by the Prince of Wales Foundation in Romania in partnership with the Romanian Order of Architects (OAR) and about a gardening project implemented for children in the village.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If in <a href="https://visitbucharest.today/day-trip-from-bucharest/brasov/">Brasov</a> these days, it would be a good idea to visit this marvellous place. </p>
