The eldest son of the late Princess Diana and present heir apparent Prince Charles, its his intriguing beauty and graceful personality has what made him earn the first position on Forbes’ annual ranking of the world’s Hottest Young Royals. Prince William, currently on tour with Britain’s Royal Air Force.

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.

The 20 royals on Forbes’ Hottest Young Royals list represent nearly $60 billion in wealth and 15 royal lineages. While a few own or operate their own businesses, the majority are students or involved in serving their countries through, for example, diplomacy, athletic competition or military service–proving there’s more to hotness than wealth, power and good looks, though none of those things hurt.
