Britain's Prince Harry has been named the country's most eligible bachelor.

The 21-year-old royal, who is currently dating South African beauty Chelsy Davy, has topped a list compiled by UK society magazine Tatler.

However, Harry's older brother Prince William - once considered the biggest royal heartthrob - did not even make the 'Little Black Book' top ten.

It seems the red-haired prankster's famous sense of humour helped him land the top spot, with Tatler saying: "Harry is notoriously funny."

Prince Harry was joined in the top ten by Mick Jagger's son, James, Richard Branson's son, Sam, and 'You're Beautiful' singer James Blunt.

Meanwhile, Harry's cousin Princess Beatrice made the top ten in the 'Little Black Book' of eligible females.

The flame-haired royal, who posed for a Tatler photo shoot earlier this year to mark her 17th birthday, ranked fourth in the list.

The magazine writes: "She as chilled at Balmoral as she is hanging out with her mates (and a few bodyguards) down the Kings Road."

Beatrice, whose parents are Britain's Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, was beaten to the top three by Bob Geldof's daughter, Peaches, and Hollywood actress Keira Knightley.

Tatler said of Keira: "When she's not fronting Asprey, she still hangs out with her Teddington friends."
