The hottest royal men include a slew of young, handsome princes, a king or two and a host of bad boys and playboys. Looking for a new boyfriend? Several of the hot royal dudes listed here are unmarriedā€“ single and ready to mingle. Vote for the guys you think are truly the best looking royal men and vote down any duds, too.

Nothing says wealth and power like a hot royal, and for those who have aspirations of becoming a princess someday, it's not completely out of reachā€“ you just need to figure out how to get introduced to these single princes. These blue-blooded guys are often in the headlines, either because they're stunningly hot (Andrea Casiraghi of Monaco is smoking) or because they're up to mischief (Prince Harry, naked in Las Vegas comes to mind). Most on this list are eligible, but sadly, Kate Middleton snatched up one of the hottest: Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge.

Some of the names on this list are instantly recognizable, but others aren't. They should be. If you've got a thing for hot royal men, you should absolutely know about Prince Amedeo of Belgium and Prince Felix of Luxemboug (and yes, it's perfectly okay to look up Luxembourg, because you'll need to know all about it if you want to go after His Royal Hotness). Beware: Many of these royals are notorious playboys, so you'll need a little help from your fairy godmother to help you snag them.

The hottest royal men listed here have several things in common, actually: All are highly educated and extremely successful. The potential here is virtually endless. Oh, and they're rich. Very, very rich. More than one royal listed here is a billionaire (Prince Albert von Thurn und Taxis of Germany and Prince Azim of Brunei are both ridiculously wealthy), and several make this list of the richest royals in the world.

It's time to dust off your glass slippers and daydream a little bit about what could be. Oh, and don't forget to vote for your favorites.
