The Duke of Sussex has beaten Bradley Cooper and David Beckham in Harper’s Bazaar’s list of hottest men of all time.
Montecito-based Prince Harry, 40, beat of stiff competition from the world’s most famous faces, including American heartthrobs Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey.
Despite the Prince of Wales not featuring on the list, Meghan Markle‘s husband scooped 25th position out of 50, just years after he won the title of the world’s hottest royal in 2020 by People magazine.
In Harper’s Bazaar rankings, the royal scored higher than longstanding British football legend, David Beckham, 49, and actor Bradley Cooper, also 49.
Taking the top spot was the late American actor James Dean, who claimed the hearts of fans across the globe during the peak of his career in the 1950s.
The magazine credited David Beckham’s love of fashion and quality family time as the basis for his position in the 39th spot.
Gigi Hadid’s flame Bradley Cooper came in slightly higher at 32, thanks to his facial features and diverse acting portfolio.
Do you think Prince Harry is the 25th most attractive man of all time?
However, beating both was father-of-two Prince Harry, who has long set hearts swooning with his ginger locks.
Harry is no stranger from lists of this kind, and in 2019, he was announced as People’s winner of the ‘Sexiest Dad Alive’ title – beating a host of famous faces including celebrities like, Ryan Lochte, Steven Yeun, and Ryan Reynolds.
One year later in 2020, the royal father-of-two was dubbed the ‘sexiest royal’ by the readers of People Magazine.
Among the worthy runners up was Prince Carl Phillip of Sweden, Prince Felix of Luxembourg, and Prince Mateen of Brunei.
The Duke of Sussex has held the role of chief impact officer at the US coaching and mental health firm, BetterUp since 2021 and this year it has partnered with ex NBA player Pau Gasol’s foundation to help people ‘find their flow’.

Harry defined ‘flow’ as a state of ‘complete focus and absorption in an activity’ that leads you to ‘peak performance, fulfillment and greater well-being’.
In the wide-ranging interview Gasol, a two-time champion with the LA Lakers and a three time Olympic medalist, opened up about his basketball journey and how he finds his own ‘flow’.
Gasol claimed that for him ‘flow’ was about giving him a ‘sense of direction, a sense of purpose.’
He continued: ‘You really don’t think about the outcome [of a game]. [Instead you are] just fully present and embracing that moment.
‘You are playing for something bigger. You feel the responsibility but also the privilege. It [flow] is the moment of being fully present.’
He continued that teams will have ’emotional leaders’ who ‘recognise the moments we are getting off track’ and work to help ground them.
He added that so much of the game is about mental strength: ‘The power of the mind, your body can be sore, fatigued and [you have to think] is your mind going with that feeling and saying you can’t do it anymore?
‘Or are you going to be champions who excel [in these moments] and decide you are not going to listen [to your body] because nothing will stop us from wining this game.’
He sweetly commented: ‘I have never had a teammate like Kobe that pushed me the way he did. He set the tone. His work ethic was something I couldn’t even [imagine].’
