| Charlotte Casiraghi
Age 14 (August 3, 1986) |
Monaco
Fifth in line to the principality |
Was a sweet, timid little girl; now confident but not snooty. Giggly with her brothers, cuddly with her sister, loud at soccer games! | No names so far, but whoever she picks will be one lucky guy. Her brother's buds did bodyguard duty at Monte Carlo's last grand prix. | Fluent in French, Italian, English; a perfectionist about studying. Swims, and has a passion for horses; first competed internationally at age 11. | The royal style queen. Long hair, legs, lashes, great skin. Fave looks: pashminas, twinsets, jeans, tanks, kitten heels, boots. | [blank] | [blank] | Unknown. But the world is her oyster. |
| H.R.H. Princess Madeleine
Age 18 (June 10, 1982) |
Sweden
Third in line to the monarchy |
Happy, unstuffy, a bit shy. Still into the Spice Girls. Dreams of a normal life--she likes to cook, shop, watch movies with friends. | She's had several boyfriends, the tabloids say. The palace isn't talking. | Said to be bright, even intellectual--and a daring skier. The usual royal obsession with horses; she's show-jumped competitively. | Into Prada, Kookaï and Gucci. Eye-popping in St. Tropez last summer in cute bikinis and sarongs. | Doing a Spice Girls routine at Stockholm's International Horse Show. | Standing by older sister Victoria (below), who has reportedly struggled on and off with anorexia nervosa. | Studying languages and interior design--plenty of room to practice at home! |
| Crown Prince Hamzah Al-Hussein
Age 20 (March 29, 1980) |
Jordan
Next in line to the Hashemite kingdom after the king, brother Abdullah. |
Serious and proud; devoted to Dad and country. He's said, "I want my father to be proud of me." Loves history, camping, climbing and chess. | No sightings of a special girl yet. | Smart; did well at prep and military school. Parachutes, skis, and swims. Run for cover--he's a qualified sniper in Jordan's army. | Three outfits: suit, military uniform, jeans. Won't wear shorts--thinks they make him look too young. Maybe that's why he's trying to grow that little mustache. | Ran away from home in sixth grade to avoid being sent to school in America. | When the family was receiving condolences after his father's death, Hamzah sat quietly in a corner staring at the ceiling, eyes puffy and red. | To be his father--to become another King Hussein. |
| Peter Mark Andrew Phillips
Age 23 (November 15, 1977) |
U.K.
Ninth in line (but unlikely to be interested in dislodging his first cousin William). |
Dashing, popular and cool. As a little boy, he horrified the Queen by hitting a servant on the head with a silver spoon. | Pete wears his heart on his sleeve. Current girlfriend is American heiress and equestrian whiz Elizabeth Iorio. | At school, played rugby with a passion and made it into university. | Veers from townie smooth to country casual. | Caught slumped over a bar at 3 A.M. in a cheesy Mediterranean resort, celebrating the end of finals with classmates. | Picking up his sports science degree from the University of Exeter in front of his parents, sister, and girlfriend last July. | Not in a hurry, though he'd love to play rugby at an international level, then join the Royal Marines or convert his degree into a career--PE teacher, maybe? |
| Zara Phillips
Age 19 (May 15, 1981) |
U.K.
Tenth in line. |
Up-front and bubbly, but grounded and determined. Has a rep as the "royal rebel." First to bungee jump! | Mum's her word on boyfriends, but is seen a lot with top jockey Richard Johnson, 22. | Left school in 1999 with three A levels. A talented rider and devoted gym goer. | She'll to jeans, T-shirts and sneakers, or a jacket and miniskirt with boots; loves to raise royal eyebrows with high-slit evening dresses. | First family member to get her tongue and belly button pierced! | Rushed to Balmoral castle to comfort cousins Wills and Harry when Diana died. | Not interested in college; she's arguing with Mom over the offers she's had to model. Princess Anne wants her to develop her riding career. A royal gold medal, anyone? |
