http://www.forbes.com/businessbillionaires/2008/05/23/royals-celebrity-monarchs-biz-billies-cz_ls_0527royals.htmlThough Prince William was born with gilded birthrights to fame, wealth and beauty, he had to wait 25 years for another title. The Prince's international intrigue and unparalleled media attention earned him the top spot this year on Forbes' annual ranking of the world's Hottest Young Royals. To compile the ranking, Forbes counted international Web and media presence as well as family wealth. Only unmarried royals under the age of 35 were considered.

 Who decided this? Someone who hasn't seen what he looks like in the past 5 years perhaps!! I'm sorry, but there are many young, single royals out there that are much more attractive the Prince William! And Harry is one of them!! |

Prince Harry both externally and (what I can gather) internally seems more attractive to me personally. And I think if one were to marry a prince the second son seems much better, most of the perks with much less stress/pressure. But that is probably the minority opinion. The idea of a King (and being Queen Consort), top spot in the most widely recognized monarchy in the west if not the world, is alluring to an awful lot of people. Study after study shows that women respond more to social standing and income and men respond more to physical appearance so I think probably a random sampling of women would rank W higher than his younger brother.

Big Shock. Kate didn't make the list. The FOrbes people overlook that she's technically not a royal.
I would give Harry my vote for first place. Hands down.

I'm sorry, but there are many young, single royals out there that are much more attractive the Prince William! I agree, people were probably looking at the perks associated with him, more than the looks. Prince Harry both externally and (what I can gather) internally seems more attractive to me personally. May be internally, but not sure about externally that he's more attractive than his brother (unless your counting the hair) |

I agree William has changed in many ways but he's still really hot. I didn't used to find Harry hot but after he grew up and I realized we were around the same age, all three of us, I started to find (Harry) attractive, but I still prefer William. |

I cling to my love of William because he's the royal I grew up adoring, but honestly these days I'm beginning to like Harry better. If I had to choose which one to date, I'd choose William, but only because I'd rather see him and Kate break up than Harry and Chelsy. William really isn't all that great looking. See him on a beach lately? Not particularly good muscle definition at all...he lacks Harry's abs and toned shoulders and arms. Besides which he's balding and his skin isn't looking too fab either. Now, most of this could be fixed if he put a bit more effort, but...at present, Harry is hotter.

So did the Willite's get wind of this poll and lite up the search engines? From birth Harry was the cutest and now the hottest young royal.  |

I think they judged "hottest" not by looks (how could Bea have ended up in front of Charlotte Casiragi then) but by media presence. And William is undoubtedly the Royal who's featured most in the press.  |

They put Beatrice in front of Charlotte....now I don't actually think Beatrice looks that bad, but Charlotte is beautiful...really beautiful, and Eugenie is so pretty - she's got real natural beauty, seems like the list was just a popularity list, not on actual beauty. Plus Wills isn't even that hot anymore *runs and hides* he's like going bald these days Harry so should have been no.1 and there's tons of other European royals who I love to drool over. |

I'm not sure looks even had anything to do with it. Some of the people on that list are really hurting in that department. |

Harry has a LOT more going for him than William, I think. He won't be king one day but he seems more level-headed and down to earth. Plus he seems to really enjoy himself and not let too many things bother him. Wills just seems uptight and stressed, like his father. Wills has a nice face ... but Harry is still cuter, by far.

Like others said, it's a top of popularity, not of looks.
