The hearts of wannabe princesses everywhere are breaking this week, as speculation Prince Harry is about to propose to his girlfriend Cressida Bonas reaches fever pitch.
But while hopes of winning Harry’s hand in marriage might be fading, we’d like to remind everyone that there are plenty other blue-blooded fish in the sea.
From the Greek Isles to Thailand, there are so many single royals still waiting to have their fairy tale wedding. While some of these spunky sovereigns may be from teeny tiny obscure lands that may be a touch larger than Tasmania, one should keep in mind that a royal title is still a royal title.
Here are some of the world’s most eligible royals.
Pierre Casiraghi of Hanover, Prince Amedeo of Belgium and Prince Carl Philip of Sweden are all eligible royal bachelors.
Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland, 34, is known for being somewhat of a playboy Prince. The Swedish royal holds the title of lieutenant in his homeland’s Navy, and has studied graphic design and agricultural and rural management.
You’ll have to be able to run to catch this sporty Prince. Prince Sebastien of Luxembourg, 21, loves sport and is fourth in line to the throne. While his handsome brother, Prince Felix, recently married and is off the market, Sebastien is still available.
Pierre Rainier Stefano Casiraghi, 26, is the younger son of Caroline, Princess of Hanover, and her second husband, Stefano Casiraghi. While technically single, the fourth in line to the throne of Monaco is currently dating Beatrice Borromeo, a journalist and member of an ancient Italian aristocratic family, of course.
Prince Amedeo of Belgium and Archduke of Austria-Este, 27, is sixth in line to the throne of Belgium. Amedeo might be a royal but he’s has been raised as a strong military man and is a reserve officer in the Belgian Army.
Prince Albert of Thurn und Taxis, 30, is a German aristocrat with an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion. His family’s fortune derives from a 16th century ancestor appointed as postmaster general of the Holy Roman Empire. Albert enjoys living in the fast lane as a professional race car driver on the European circuit and tours with a German auto-racing league.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum (popularly known as “Fazza”), 31, is Dubai’s Crown Prince. Fazza is an avid horse rider, published poet and semi-professional skydiver. And probably has more money than he can spend in a lifetime.
Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein, 39, might come from a tiny land but he has a huge fortune. The suave blue-blooded billionaire has had a string of supermodel girlfriends, including Victoria’s Secret model, Adriana Lima.
Red-haired royal, Princess Beatrice of York, 25, may not get as much attention as her cousins, but Beatrice has certainly had her accomplishments. She graduated from university in 2011 and became the first royal to complete the London Marathon. She’s currently in a long-term relationship with Dave Clark, who works for Richard Branson.
Princess Theodora of Greece, 30, grew up in England in with her brother, Philippos, and attended the prestigious Brown University and London’s Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design.
