Is Prince Harry attractive would you say if you have met him in real life?

I have name changed for this thread as you can imagine I don't want this linked to my usual username, anyway recently I have developed a crush on Prince Harry. I just wanted to know any people who have met him in real life, what does he look like in terms of his appearance compared to other men you know? I was speaking to a friend recently and she was saying how if he wasn't royal he wouldn't look that attractive to most women. So I suppose I just wanted to see what you would think of him if he was just a normal person in the world.

Yes- seen him a lot- not met him
No - not at all and I quite like a red head
But I am almost as old as his mother

Relocatiorelocation · 22/10/2022 18:46

I've not met him, but I think he's quite dishy. I love a stubbly red head though. I don't know how tall he is, but if he's over 6' I'd be delighted.

Not met him in real life, and I doubt people who really know him well would talk openly about it. Meeting him superficially wouldn't give anyone a real inkling about his personality or attractiveness.

So, judging by his appearance on TV etc I would say he was reasonably attractive but nothing special. He comes across as charming at times, but oh my goodness, does he look and sound so dim sometimes. The 'Archie's first words' nonsense and his toe curling UN speech along with looking like he couldn't find his way out of a paper bag, is off putting. Someone who barely scraped through one of the best schools in the country really shouldn't put himself forward as a great thinker. Spouting about being an eco warrior while flying around in private jets is just ridiculous. No, not an attractive character overall.

StripeyDeckchair · 22/10/2022 18:49

Hes going bald ( quite badly) the beard isn't that flattering and he has a huge ego.

I wouldn't say he's anywhere near good looking.

LadyEloise1 · 22/10/2022 18:51

No he's not good looking.
I think if he weren't a prince a certain someone wouldn't have bothered.

MegGriffinshat · 22/10/2022 18:53

I briefly met him at a charity event about 4 years ago.

He’s bloody gorgeous.

But I like ginger men with beards. I married one 🤣

ParentallyUnprepared · 22/10/2022 18:54

I've fancied him for YEARS.

He's always been number two on my list.

ThingsIhavelearnt · 22/10/2022 18:57

Have met him and know him

no he’s not attractive either verbally, emotionally or intellectually 🤷‍♀️

he was kind of up himself a bit and thought he was an expert on something that he really wasn’t and really just wanted to prat about - nothing nasty but for a 30 year old I was a bit wtf grow up

Soooooo true

Her previous husband didn’t look too dissimilar.

I am pale and usually only find attractive men who easily tan, dark hair etc, but recognise people have different tastes.

TinaTeaspoons · 22/10/2022 19:03

He's OK looking. Just a normal 37 year old guy.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 22/10/2022 19:03

I like a redhead. Wouldn't say no.

DeeCeeCherry · 22/10/2022 19:08

I've met him twice. Not in UK. He's an attractive man in person, comes across pleasantly and I like his open laugh and smile. This thread will eventually bring out the Meghanazis, he's persona non-grata because of her isn't he. So - hes ugly.

CheeseMuffin · 22/10/2022 19:09

By normal standards no, by royal standards yes. He's more attractive and has aged better than his brother and uncles. (His father was never a looker.)

Murdoch1949 · 22/10/2022 19:10

I think he's lovely, inside and out. Comes across as interested in everyone, and is so kind to children. His mum's son.

CheeseMuffin · 22/10/2022 19:11

And no, I've not met him IRL but a friend has and said he was friendly and down to earth and knowledgeable on the subject they were discussing.

Same😂
I think he is lovely

Dippydonky · 22/10/2022 19:14

I think the image the palace sold of him was quite appealing…. The ‘cheeky sort of bad boy without actually been that bad and would likely make a good Dad’ image (plus he looks like he probably does a fair amount of exercise/looks to be in shape, which always helps!). I used to think he was quite a hottie! But in more recent times he’s not had the same appeal, he seems to have lost the natural ‘fun’ bits of his image, when he does silly thing now it feels a bit too forced/staged.

It would be interesting to see what he’s like in real life….. I imagine a lot of what we see is fancy marketing.

Foolsandtheirmoney · 22/10/2022 19:14

I think it's hard to tell unless you meet the person? Some people you seem attractive even though you know objectively that they aren't if you know what I mean? Without having met him it would be a big no from me, I'm not into bald blokes.

It's not the only list he's number 2 on Grin

Spitspotspitspot · 22/10/2022 19:24

I met Prince Charles in the 1980’s and was absolutely taken aback at just how attractive he was in person. From the photos I had seen before meeting him I would never have said he was handsome, but he really was! Mind you… that’s 40 odd years ago 😁

Derrymum123 · 22/10/2022 19:29

He is a very good looking man.He has kind eyes. He comes across as a kind and considerate person and tbh he is far more in touch with the man in the street than William.

DuckTails · 22/10/2022 19:36

I think he’s quite charismatic which helps. His hottest phase was around the time he left the army.

He’s turned into a petulant man child though, which is not attractive. I also get the sense he is constantly seething, which must be difficult to put up with, and, someone who once had dinner with him and his friends told me he is extremely infantile and can be quite rude.

As for “Meghanazis” - can we please not equate the monsters who murdered and tortured millions of Jews, gypsies, gay people and disabled people with those who gripe about a mega-rich, famous Duchess?

MagnoliaXYZ · 22/10/2022 19:41

I think he's rather good-looking in person (and on TV), but I didn't meet him to talk to and had had a lot of wine.

nonono1 · 22/10/2022 19:53

I think he’s fairly normal/average looking, as are the vast majority of people. I’d class someone like Brad Pitt or George Clooney (or Meghan!) as good looking.

I’m not sure about attractiveness - I think someone can be not especially good looking but still very attractive if they have great personality and charisma. Those qualities tend to come across in person rather than in photos, and I’ve never met Harry so can’t comment.
