Prince Harry vs Prince William: who is Highgrove's hottest totty?
Prince William
Stats: Blue-eyed Wills, 24, is the image of his mum with his high cheekbones and blonde locks. And the 6'3' hunk also takes after her in terms of temperament, saying his guiding principles in life are 'to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.'
CV: Having graduated with a 2:1 in Geography from St Andrews, Wills went on to complete army officer training at Sandhurst. As well as his military role, Wills is patron of Centrepoint, the UK's leading charity for the homeless, and president of the Football Association. But he insists that his army career is important to him and that he is prepared to fight on the frontline. 'The last thing I want to do is be mollycoddled or wrapped up in cotton wool,' says the future heir to the throne. 'I'd want to go where my men went and I'd want to do what they did.'
Love life: Wills has been with the gorgeous Kate Middleton for three years and the pair are said to be building a home together in the Wye Valley as Kate tries to get her children's clothing venture off the ground. Kate even joined Wills, his dad and his brother on their annual skiing trip to Klosters last year, where she looked very much at ease with the Royals. Much has been made of her middle-class upbringing but Wills says: 'I don't deliberately select my friends because of their background. If I enjoy someone's company, then that's all that counts.'
Potential Princesses: In the past, Britney Spears confessed to having a crush on sexy William and the pair even emailed each other for a while. Hollywood star Renee Zellweger also confessed to fancying the prince but Wills is incredibly modest about his good looks, saying he chooses his mum's favourite photographer, Mario Testino, for his portraits 'because he's the only person who could make a moose look good.'
Interests: A major fan of rugby union, he visited New Zealand last year to support the British and Irish Lions on their tour. He loves water polo, swimming and football (he supports Aston Villa) as well as dancing and riding his motorbike. He also loves to watch TV, including Friends, and admits that he and Harry often tussle over the remote control. 'We like the same sort of things on TV,' he explains. 'Although there is usually an argument over who watches what. That usually goes on for quite a while.'
Family relations: 'We get along really well, Harry and I and my father, we're a very close family,' claims Wills. 'But there are disagreements, obviously, as all families have.' His close relationship with his younger brother was illustrated during the recent phone-tapping scandal by a message he left for Harry, mimicking his girlfriend Chelsy Davy: 'It's Chelsy. I miss you so much, you big ginger, and I want you to know I love you,' mocked Wills.
High Point: His time at St Andrews was peaceful for the Prince as the media largely left him alone. 'I do all my own shopping, I go out, get takeaways, rent videos, go to the cinema, just basically anything I want to really,' he said back in 2004.
Low point: Wills must have caught a fair bit of family flak after his 21st birthday party was gatecrashed by 'comedy terrorist' Aaron Barschak. Barschak, dressed as Osama Bin Laden, climbed onto the stage where William was making a speech, thanking his grandmother for the party!
Prospects: William is second in line to the throne, after his father, Prince Charles, and could one day be the King of England. But he doesn't let the responsibility weigh heavily on his mind. 'The thing is with me, I look on the brighter side of everything,' says Wills. 'There's no point being pessimistic or worried about too many things because frankly life's too short. Keeping your feet firmly on the ground is the most important thing.'
