Who is Archduke Ferdinand von Hapsburg? Or Prince Wenceslas of Liechenstein?  From military hunks to a motor-racing demon with a VERY long name, we meet some of the most eligible royal men that Europe has to offer…

They are boisterous and extremely well connected.

Some are very much in the public eye, others prefer to hide in the long grass.

But what they all have is the rarest quality… royalty.

From an Archduke to a Count and even a very noble racing driver – we look at some of the most desirable young men Europe has to offer…

Charles Armstrong Jones

Charles, Viscount Linley, 24, is the son of David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, and Serena Armstrong-Jones, Countess of Snowdon.

Like other family members, including Princes William and Harry, Charles was educated at Eton College and was the second son of Princess Margaret’s daughter, Lady Sarah Chatto, in the same year as his cousin Arthur Chatto.

Charles went on to study product design engineering at Loughborough University.

Princess Margaret’s grandson now leads a private life as a musician, showing a creative bent that perhaps reflects something of his furniture-maker father and art-loving grandmother.

Prince Joachim of Belgium

Prince Joachim, 31, is the son of Archduke Lorenz of Austria-Este and Princess Astrid of Belgium, making King Philippe of Belgium his uncle.

This means he is third in line to the throne (now abolished of course) in Austria and 10th in line in Belgium.

Prince Joachim became a full officer in the Belgian Navy in 2011 and has served there ever since. He also studied economics at Bocconi University in Milan.

Samuel Chatto

Samuel Chatto, 27, a free spirit who inherited the family’s artistic talents, is the son of Lady Sarah and Daniel Chatto and the eldest of Princess Margaret’s grandchildren.

He grew up in Kensington, London, and was sent to Eton College at the age of 11 before studying art history at the University of Edinburgh, where he graduated in 2018.

After graduating, the royal completed a six-week internship at North Shore Pottery in Scotland and is now building a career as a potter – having set up his own ceramics studio in 2019.

Arthur Chatto

Arthur Chatto, 24, is the youngest son of Lady Sarah Chatto and Daniel Chatto.

He made his first royal appearance to the public as Page of Honor for the late Queen, a key role he held between 2009 and 2015.

He has since studied geography at the University of Edinburgh and was also a personal trainer for BoundFitness during his studies. Arthur is now in the Royal Marines, having informed the late Queen of his intention to train and become an officer.

He eventually completed the training and attended the Queen’s funeral in uniform.

Alexander Charles Ogilvy

Alexander Charles Ogilvy is the late Queen Elizabeth’s cousin, twice removed. Now 26, he is 54th in the line of succession to the throne, behind his father James and sister Flora.

He is the grandson of the late Queen Elizabeth’s cousin, Princess Alexandra of Kent.

He graduated from the prestigious Ivy League university Brown 2020, where he studied Computer Science and Economics and now works at a software development company in New York called Prove.

Count Felix of Denmark

Count Felix, 21, is the youngest son of Prince Joachim and his first wife, Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg.

Along with other Danish monarchs of his generation, he was stripped of his royal titles by his paternal grandmother, Queen Margrethe, in a decree that took effect on January 1.

The decision caused controversy and was intended to allow Felix and his siblings to live normal lives without royal duties.

The royal family that was eighth in the line of succession to the Danish throne is now known as Count and is also referred to as His Excellency.

Felix has found success as a model and starred in an advertising campaign for Georg Jensen. He had a short stint at the Royal Danish Military Academy, but dropped out after two months because it ‘wasn’t for him’.

Prince Sebastien of Luxembourg

Prince Sébastien, 31, is the youngest child of Henri and Maria Teresa, Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg.

Sébastien moved to the United States to attend Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, where he earned a degree in marketing and international business.

Like his father and eldest brother, Prince Guillaume, Prince Sébastien completed his officer training at the prestigious Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst in 2017 and now serves as a platoon commander in the Irish Guards.

He speaks fluent Luxembourgish, French, English, German and some Spanish.

Prince Wenceslas of Liechtenstein

Prince Wenceslas of Liechtenstein, 48, is the son of private banker Prince Philipp of Liechtenstein and nephew of the reigning Prince Hans-Adam II.

Wenceslas graduated from Paris Dauphine University and followed his father into the financial world.

He began a career in finance in the equities division of Goldman Sachs, before moving to US conglomerate General Electric, where he worked in the company’s internal M&A function. He later switched to corporate finance consultancy.

In 2016 he was appointed CEO of London fund manager Dalton Strategic Partnership. He left the company in February 2021.

The London-based royal’s last public relationship was almost two decades ago, when he dated beautiful Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima for three years.

Cassius Taylor

Cassius Taylor, 26, is the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.

The socialite studied arts management at Goldsmiths University and after graduating worked part-time at his father’s art gallery in Mayfair and at PR agency Purple.

Today he is co-founder of the events company telltale.

Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick

Edward Windsor, 33, also known as Lord Downpatrick, is the only son of the Earl of St Andrews, and the brother of London-based model Lady Amelia, 27.

The royal family, who also goes by Eddy Downpatrick, is second in line to the Duchy of Kent and uses his grandfather Baron Downpatrick as a courtesy title.

Unlike his younger sister Amelia, who is 42nd in line to the British throne, Eddy is excluded from the line of succession because he is Roman Catholic.

Edward, who is said to have been close to his cousin Princess Eugenie, studied at Eton before heading to Oxford where he was head of the Bullingdon Club, known for its raucous reputation.

He is also a fashion designer after a previous life as a financial analyst. He co-founded the British fashion label FIDIR and is its creative director.

Archduke Ferdinand von Habsburg of Austria

Archduke Ferdinand von Habsburg, 26, is the heir to the headship of the House of Habsburg.

Born Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard von Habsburg-Lothringen, he is also a racing driver and currently competes in the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship and the European Le Mans Series.
