To catch the attention of this royal bachelor you need to know your sports. To woo this handsome, young gentleman, you’ll need to at least put on a show of an active lifestyle and be able to wax lyrical about the wonders of gentlemen’s sports. If that proves difficult, bone up on bioethics and discuss the difficulty of studying a master’s at Rome University.

When it comes to eligible royal bachelors who are brothers, it might be difficult deciding which one to go for. Luckily, with the heirs to the throne of Monaco, you’ve got chalk and cheese. Are you looking for Andrea, the serious, university graduate  and charity worker who has taught to underprivileged children and was voted into the 50 World’s Most Beautiful People? Or does Pierre, the wild party boy who struggled with university, has a string of female conquests to his name and wants to go into business suit your tastes more?

Here is one conundrum for you. When is a prince not a prince? Prince Philippos is a prince in waiting without a throne. This well-spoken young man is now rumoured to reside in London and is referred to as Your Highness. There’s no need to feel too sympathetic towards this prince charming though, as a life as a royal in exile and a job at a hedge-fund don’t seem to be hindering him too much. Maybe the lack of a throne makes him an eligible royal bachelor that’s easier to snare?

A prince of a nation which is a shade bigger than Walt Disney World, he’s a bachelor with more upside than downside.
