Life as a prince might seem glamorous, but for Prince Harry, the former Duke of Sussex, it’s been a rollercoaster ride since he traded royal duties for a life in sunny California.
While Hollywood has its perks, it’s not all glitz and glamour.
The latest headline?
Harry is reportedly furious about his ranking in Harper’s Bazaar’s Most Handsome Men list.
Yes, you read that right.
Instead of focusing on global issues or family drama, Harry finds himself embroiled in a beauty contest.
Can you imagine the shock when he discovered he landed at a disappointing 25th place?
It’s a tough pill to swallow, especially when icons like Cary Grant, Steve McQueen, and the legendary James Dean—who passed away nearly 70 years ago—are ahead of him in the rankings.
According to royal expert Neil Sean, Harry had high hopes for a better position.
After all, he and Meghan Markle had provided Harper’s Bazaar with exclusive interviews and glowing features.
They even invited the magazine to join them on their carefully curated tour of Colombia.
You’d think that kind of access would earn Harry a spot in the top ten, right?
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
In a rather embarrassing twist, Harry found himself overshadowed by images of Hollywood legends who no longer need to pose for pictures.
The magazine benefits from using stock photos of these deceased stars, while Harry, along with other contemporary celebrities like Bradley Cooper, requires fresh and often costly images.
This unfortunate reality pushed him down the list.
It’s no surprise that Harry is less than thrilled about this.
Sources close to him reveal that he expected to be celebrated more prominently, especially given the magazine’s previous enthusiasm for him and Meghan.
However, when it came time to rank the most handsome men, Harry was left behind, with the magazine opting for a standard photo of the Duke instead of any special treatment.
You might think this whole ranking affair is trivial, but it highlights a significant aspect of celebrity culture.
In the competitive world of image management, being at the top can elevate one’s fame to new heights—or at least keep them relevant in tabloid circles.
For Harry, landing at 25th is nothing short of a royal demotion.
It’s both comical and somewhat sad that a former royal, who now focuses on activism and media, is so concerned about his placement in a beauty contest.
The irony doesn’t escape him; he’s frustrated not just with his rank but also with the system that contributed to it.
Insiders have revealed that the rankings are surprisingly manipulated, much like awards shows where the outcome isn’t as organic as one might assume.
Harry has come to realize that even in the superficial realm of Hollywood, success isn’t guaranteed.
Sometimes, it means accepting that a stock photo of a long-gone legend can take precedence over a living prince’s charm.
Ultimately, Harry may have to find solace in simply making the list at all.
In a world where even beloved traditions like pie and mash in London are fading away, it’s a small victory that he remains a topic of conversation—handsome or not.
