Prince Harry: 'Maybe not very smart, but more attractive than William!'
His saucy trip to the city of all sins will certainly have given him a heck of a publicity: when he is least talked about, as he fights the Afghan Taliban after being at the heart of one of the biggest media scandals of 2012, exposed naked during a stay in Las Vegas, Prince Harry has just been named the most popular bachelor on the planet, among 40 stars in all categories.
Admittedly, this is not a list of Forbes, a reference magazine in terms of rankings of all kinds, including that of the most interesting single royals. But "Dirty Harry" nevertheless enjoys the luxury, thanks to the monthly Town & Country review, of getting ahead of some fine recurring specimens such as George Clooney (33rd), or young "sons of" who made the news, at the image of Conor Kennedy (24th), eldest son of RFK Jr., who had a brief high-profile romance with Taylor Swift in 2012, or Pierre Sarkozy (26th).
Harry "Double-Face", capable of as much seriousness in military or royal duties as escapism when it comes to partying, his sweet tooth, is therefore the number one bachelor for many Americans, according to Town & Country, oldest American generalist publication published without interruption (since its creation in 1846 under the name of The National Press): "It's the royal joker, the bad boy, the one who has fun with the girls, has fun at the in the middle of the crowd, drinks too much and comes home at the wrong time. That's why he is preferred to everyone. He may not have an intelligence that reaches new heights - he was a nonchalant student at Eton , and he preferred to go to the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst rather than university - but he's cooler and more attractive than his older brother, sweet William as he is, "the monthly commented shamelessly lighthouse of the lifestyle.
On the embryonic and very liberal data sheet that accompanies his portrait, on the Town & Country site where the ranking is presented, we can read: "He flirts and pilots an Apache helicopter with the same aplomb", "he likes blondes Bardot, polo ponies and messing around ", or" Natural habitat: the clubs of Mayfair ".
Other beautiful parties of royal families, yet far from being all single, also appear in the Town & Country ranking: inevitably, the handsome Carl Philip from Sweden (8th), but also Philippe from Greece and Denmark (6th) , Pierre Casiraghi (7th), Amedeo from Belgium (9th), Alex Dellal (12th) or Nikolai von Bismarck (18th).
The podium is completed by Australian golfer Adam Scott and Andrew Lauren, son of Ralph. Further on, let us point out in particular the presence of the basketball player Jeremy Lin (11th), the heir jet-setter and killer Stavros Niarchos (13th), Vladimir Roitfeld (son of Carine, 14th), Vito Schnabel (who had a brief relationship recently with Demi Moore, 15th), quarterback Tim Tebow (who had a very brief history with Camilla Belle, 17th), Olympic champion Ben Ainslie (19th), the four sons of Bryan Ferry (20th), Patrick Schwarzenegger ( 23rd), Scott Eastwood (25th), Pierre Sarkozy (26th), Charles Rockefeller (30th), Danny Huston (35th), or even Jack Nicholson (75, 36th).
With its cover and its laurels granted to Prince Harry, Town & Country continues its glamourization and mainstreamization operation, initiated in particular under the direction (1993-2010) of Pamela Fiori, who widely peoplized the review, whose current editor is Jay Fielden, former Vogue and New Yorker. Prince Harry is far from these frivolities on his account: redeployed to Afghanistan, on the front, after having completed his training on an Apache helicopter and his training in combat situations since mid-2011, the youngest son of Prince Charles has been away from British soil for several months and has spent the holidays with his comrades in arms, away from the royal family.
