10 Reasons Why Prince Harry is Cooler Than His Bro

1. Harry can fly a helicopter

What’s cooler than a guy who can fly a chopper? A prince who can fly an Apache — a helicopter reserved for the Army Air Corps’ most talented pilots. This March, Prince Harry passed the rigorous 10 month course required to fly these attack aircrafts. Described as a “natural flyer,” the 26-year-old prince may soon be

re-deployed to Afghanistan, where he served in 2008.

2. He’s available

Unlike his engaged older brother, Prince Harry is still on the market. Harry split from longtime girlfriend Chelsy Davy in June of 2010, reportedly because the red-headed prince wouldn’t pop the big question. Rumors began swirling that Davy had reunited with her prince when photos of the two leaving a nightclub together

surfaced, but the renewed romance has yet to be confirmed. We guess the big test will be whether Harry brings Chelsy along as his date to Wills’s wedding.

3. Harry’s so handsome, he might as well be a model

Not only is Harry a prince, but he’s quite the looker to boot. Chalk it up to his royal genes, but there’s no denying that Harry is handsome enough to grace the covers of magazines. Just ask British GQ, the men’s mag that featured Harry on the front of its March 2011 issue.

4. He’s a bad boy

Harry’s gotten some negative press for his bad boy antics (most notably his Nazi costume and a stint in rehab following his admitted marijuana use), but it seems the poor decisions are behind the prince. Still, Harry has retained a certain bad boy charm that his older bro never managed to achieve. Whether its riding motorcycles in Afghanistan or flying deadly helicopters, Harry certainly knows how to live on the edge.

5. He’s got a sensitive side

Prince Harry may be something of a bad boy, but there’s no denying that he’s got a sweet side as well. Harry is known for his charity work (must have gotten it from his mum), and was recently honored in Germany for his humanitarian efforts. Whether its accompanying amputee soldiers to the North Pole or visiting abused children in Lesotho, Harry makes volunteer work a priority.

6. He’s a gingey

Being a ginger hasn’t always been considered sexy, but these days, redheads are hot, hot, hot. Prince Harry can thank swoon-worthy Hollywood redheads like Christina Hendricks, Isla Fisher and Julianne Moore for giving ginger locks a serious boost, but we think the foxy prince may be leading the pack when it comes to hot male redheads

7. Harry’s a bit of a prankster

Redheads are known for being mischievous, and Prince Harry is no exception. The fun-loving royal finds ample time to goof around, whether it be scrunching up his face at British schoolchildren or pulling one over on the queen of England. Sorry Wills, but nothing is cooler than a guy who can make you laugh.

8. He can fulfill the prince-on-horseback fantasy

Prince Harry is an accomplished polo player, and we all know what that means: He can literally fulfill every Disney-loving girl’s childhood fantasy of being carried off into the sunset by a prince on horseback. Swoon.Harry plays polo for Team Asprey during the Asprey World Class Polo at Hurtwood Park Polo and Country Club.

9. He works out

OK, we’ll admit that we’re not positive Prince Harry is actually a gym rat, but judging by the photos we’ve got, we’re pretty sure the guy does his fair share of crunches. The only thing hotter than a prince on a horse is a shirtless prince on a horse, and by the looks of it, Harry is the man for the job.

10. Harry knows how to throw an awesome party

It should come as no surprise that Britain’s royal bad boy knows how to party. Harry recently threw a bachelor party for his older bro (known across the pond as a stag party), and it was apparently quite the rager. The bash took place at a country estate, and though the festivity details remain unknown, we bet that with Harry at the helm, things got pretty wild. After all, if Harry can party with Kanye West and P.Diddy, he can party with the best of them.
