Readers of People magazine voted Prince Harry as the sexiest royal on earth, a year after he was named the publication’s winner of the Sexiest Dad Alive title.

Last year the 36-year-old military veteran and former wild child beat a number of famous faces such as celebrities Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Lochte and Steven Yeun.

Prince Harry defeated runner-up Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, 41 this year, who is married to the glamourous former model, Sofia Hellqvist, and is fourth in line to the Swedish throne. Prince Felix of Luxembourg, 36 and Prince Mateen of Brunei, 29 are the other notable runners up.

Prince Felix of Luxembourg is second in line for the throne of Luxembourg. He speaks seven languages and is married to German scientist Claire Lademacher.
