10 Of The Hottest Royals Around The World

Here is proof that life is very, very unfair: Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei, touted as Asia’s answer to Prince Harry, recently attracted the attention of netizens for his brooding good looks and, of course, his royal status. Oh, and the guy has 404,000 followers on Instagram, where he regularly post snapshots of his princely lifestyle which includes playing polo, frolicking with exotic cats and hanging out at important places in a well-tailored suit. The 25-year-old, who is sixth in succession to the throne for the wealthy nation, is also a lieutenant in the Royal Brunei Armed Forces. He had graduated from the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK. But Prince Mateen is pragmatic about his fame, saying, “Honestly, sometimes you shy away from it, but what you can do? You can’t stop the people’s curiosity. The important thing is how to use that attention in a positive way.”

Behold Mateen in his full shirtless glory, riding a, um, steed.

This real-life princess, 33, married Prince Alwaheed of Saudi Arabia, who was 28 years her senior. The marriage quietly ended in divorce in 2013. But there is more to her than just on-fleek eyebrows and make-up. Princess Ameerah has since put her wealth and connections to good use, and became an advocate for women’s rights in the famously patriarchal kingdom.

Okay, it is hard to go wrong when you are the grandson of late icon Grace Kelly. The prince of Monaco, 29, is well-known for his hard-partying ways with fellow wealthy European scions, and made headlines for getting into a nightclub brawl in 2012. He also married the just-as-hawt Italian aristocrat Beatrice Borromeo in 2015.

The 44-year-old Spanish monarch (she is 44?!) has won fans with her impeccable style. Oh, and she is not too fancy to wear a Zara dress like the rest of us. The queen was praised by netizens last year for wearing a cheap and chic €50 ($75) floral dress from Zara, arguably Spain’s biggest fashion brand.

Other than his matinee idol good looks, the monarch is also well-known for being a family man. While polygamy is legal in Bhutan, King Jigme, who married commoner Jetsun Pema in 2011, had declared that he will not take a second wife. The couple also welcomed a son last year.

The wife of Jordan’s King Abdullah II is widely regarded as one of the most stylish women in the Middle East, and is regularly spotted in the front row at haute couture runway shows. She also has a daughter, Princess Iman, whose beauty has been compared to her mother’s and the duo are regularly snapped in trendy outfits.

What is a hot royals list without everyone’s favourite prince? (Sorry, Prince William) The ginger royal broke hearts when news leaked out that he was dating Suits actress Meghan Markle. We don’t blame her for falling for his scruffy bad boy looks.

She has caused dresses to fly off the shelves the moment she is spotted in them, and is mum to adorable Prince George and Princess Charlotte. But we like how normal Kate is despite her royal status (she has been photographed hitting the supermarket in jeans). And that's hawt.

He may look as dreamy as a Disney hero, but the crown prince of Dubai is dogged by damning media reports which detailed his drug abuse and hedonistic sex parties. That apparently did not deter his female fans from fawning over his looks.

The Swedish prince reminds us of a real-life Prince Charming with thick, wavy locks and a well-groomed beard. Too bad he is already married to former Swedish glamour model Sofia Hellqvist.
