He’s got ginger hair and freckles, but Prince Harry’s unconventional looks have seen him leapfrog George Clooney to be named the sexiest man of 2013.
Harry, 28, has topped high-brow British magazine Town & Country’s annual bachelor list, beating more traditionally handsome hunks including Clooney.
“He’s the wild-card royal, the naughty one, the one who goes out with rah women, hangs out with a fast crowd, downs too many drinks, and goes home at the wrong moment. That’s why we all like him best,” the magazine reported.
“Harry might not possess a towering intellect but he is cooler and more appealing than his older brother, sweet as William undoubtedly is.
“Being the heir to the throne has its perks, such as getting to be king of England (not anytime soon, in William’s case, given the legendary Windsor longevity). But it is also a life sentence and a straitjacket. William has to spend the rest of his life being cautious, dutiful, and dull. Harry, free of the monarchical burden, gets to have all the fun.”
Harry beat 39 other eligible bachelors to top the list, including fellow royals Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark and Prince Amedeo of Belgium.
George Clooney, twice voted People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, came in at number 33.
