Prince Harry broke the hearts of many when he recently announced his engagement to actress Meghan Markle. But those who still want a swipe at royalty needn’t get disheartened. Here are a few princes and even a king, who can help you realise your dream of a fairy-tale wedding.
Upon the death of Bhawani Singh in 2011, he was informally crowned as the Maharaja of Jaipur. The royal celebrated his 18th birthday in July 2016. This year, he was seen waltzing with Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s daughter, Ava, at the le Bal in Paris. Educated at Mayo College in Ajmer and at Millfield School in Somerset, UK, he is a keen polo player. Though he might be considered too young for the marriage mart, in another year or so, he’s likely to find himself among the most eligible royals across the globe.
The Instagram account of Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum gives you a glimpse of the exciting life that he leads. It’s apparent that this Prince loves the outdoors and has a keen interest in adventurous activities like skydiving and deep-sea diving. If his good looks and penchant for adventure aren’t enough, he is also a poet. He is also known as Fazza, the name under which he publishes his poetry. He penned a moving verse after his older brother died of a heart attack.
Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II is the eldest son of Queen Rania and King Abdullah II of Jordan. The 23-year-old, who holds the rank of second lieutenant in the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, graduated in 2017 from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom. He is the youngest person to ever chair a UN Security Council meeting. In his free time, he loves catching up on football and even indulges in a game of it when time permits.
The 26-year-old likes to maintain a low profile. He is currently ninth in line to the throne, but has a solid educational background.
After studying at the Nautical School in Brugge, he has served as an officer in the Belgian Navy. He has an interesting lineage. He descends from Austrian, Belgian, Italian, French, Swedish, Danish, British, Portuguese, Spanish and German imperial families.
The fourth son of the Sultan of Brunei, Abdul Mateen is sixth in line to the royal throne. He is hugely popular on social media.
His Instagram account reflects his love for the outdoors, horses and wild cats. His natty appearances in suits have won admirers across the globe. Good looks apart, the Prince has graduated from the University of London with a Master of Arts in International Studies and Diplomacy.
Prince Philippos was born to King Constantine II of Greece and Queen Anne-Marie in 1986 but is a prince only in the title as Greek monarchy has been abolished. However, that didn’t mean he grew up in an apartment like other mortals. A stately 13-bedroom house on the edge of Hampstead Heath was his home. The Georgetown University graduate now works as a hedge fund analyst in New York.
