Town & Country magazine has named the 28-year-old single British Royal as the world's leading eligible bachelor.

"We love him because he's comfortable in his own skin and isn't too stiff or pompous to show it. His wardrobe malfunctions -- and coups (how dashing does he look in his Army Air Corps blue beret?) -- merely reinforce our impression of Harry as playful, adventurous, a Renaissance man. Sometimes it's good not to be king," the magazine said of the British Royal.

Harry, of course, was on a lot of people's radars last year after naked photos surfaced of a scandalous trip to Las Vegas, the CBS News reported.

Harry, beat the likes of George Clooney in a 40-person list that includes a wide variety of celebrity and high-powered men of all ages.

Several other royals made the cut: Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark, Prince Carl Philip of Sweden and Prince Amedeo of Belgium.

NBA star Jeremy Lin also snagged a spot on the Town & Country's most eligible bachelor list, as did NFL player Tim Tebow.

Corey Booker, mayor of Newark and actor Jack Nicholson were also on the list compiled by the lifestyle magazine.

Patrick Schwarzenegger found himself on the worthy bachelor list, as did Taylor Swift's one-time beau, Conor Kennedy.

The magazine describes its list as, "a highly subjective, thoroughly opinionated survey of the princes, politicians, scions, DJs, and billionaires-to-be we consider the most eligible men in the universe."
