In the latest rankings, Prince William, previously the most searched royal globally in 2023, has been relegated to the position of second 'top royal' worldwide. This shift comes as a lesser-known Asian prince, Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei, emerges as the new top royal in the world, amidst the ongoing discord between Britain's future King and his younger brother, Prince Harry.
According to a recent study, Prince Mateen, recognized as one of Asia’s most popular royals, claimed the top spot with a score of 8.95 out of 10 across all six evaluated factors. Following closely behind is the Prince of Wales, who scored 8.92. Despite ranking third on the list of top royals, Prince Harry leads as the most attractive royal in Google searches, accumulating 107,920 clicks.
The study, conducted by a team at Slingo, analyzed data from six key factors including gender, country, net worth, Google search volume, Google searches for the most attractive royal, and overall royalty rating out of 10.
Prince Mateen's remarkable net worth of £3.9 billion positions him among the top ten wealthiest royals, while Prince William is placed 35th with a net worth of £79 million.
In a notable development, Prince Mateen recently tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend and entrepreneur, Anisha Rosnah, in an extravagant 10-day wedding celebration. Rosnah, reportedly a graduate of the University of Bath in England, adds another layer to the couple's international connections.
