Prince Achileas-Andreas of Greece and Denmark

Between the buzz around Netflix’s Young Royals, a TV series following a fictional heir to the Swedish throne, and the non-stop news about the British Royal Family, it's safe to say that we’re all a little royalty obsessed. There's something so charming about the life of young royals, and the fact that they could be your classmate, your personal trainer, or the person in front of you at the coffee shop. After all, Kate Middleton met Prince William at university and now she's Princess of Wales. 

With this in mind, L’OFFICIEL rounds up 10 real-life young royals to familiarize yourself with below, including Prince Achileas-Andreas of Greece, Talita von Furstenberg, and Princess Margaret’s grandsons, Sam and Arthur Chatto (and some other *cough* eligible additions).

Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark

Prince Constantine (or "Tino," as his friends call him) is the eldest son of Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece. At 24 years old, Alexios was born in New York and raised in England, where he attended Wellington College for high school and more recently graduated from Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Although the Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973, Alexios' title remains, and his grandfather, Constantine II, was the last king of Greece.

One of fashion's favorite young royals, 23-year-old Count Nikolai of Monpezat (formerly Prince Nikolai of Denmark) and his razor-sharp cheekbones made their runway debut at London Fashion Week in 2018 walking for Burberry, promptly getting signed to Denmark’s Scoops Models agency in the aftermath. While his grandmother Queen Margrethe II stripped him and his siblings of their royal titles in 2022, Nikolai has slowly begun taking the fashion world by storm, even opening for Dior Men's Fall/Winter 2020 show and getting signed to Elite Model World in February 2023. Currently, he is set to take a semester abroad studying at the University of Technology in Sydney later this year.

Talita von Furstenberg

Young American Heiress, Talita von Furstenberg

While Talita von Furstenberg may have dropped her princess title in 2020, she’s still fashion royalty—indeed, she's the granddaughter of iconic designer Diane von Furstenberg and Prince Alexander von Furstenberg. Following in her mother's footsteps, Talita launched her own brand, TVF for DVF, in 2019, and will likely helm her grandmother's brand one day.

As far as young royals go, the 29-year-old prince is quite accomplished. He is a qualified helicopter pilot, and at age 20 he became the youngest person to chair a UN Security Council Meeting.

Prince Achileas-Andreas of Greece and Denmark

Prince Achileas-Andreas is the 22-year-old younger brother of Princess Maria-Olympia generally known for straying from the spotlight. However, the young prince has always had a passion for acting and drama, managing to land his first acting gig in 2017 with a minor role in the daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful at only 15 years old. He has cited Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Jake Gyllenhaal as some of his biggest acting inspirations, and is seeking to take on more roles that will allow him to make the shift from theater to TV. The young royal graduated from NYU in May 2023. Follow him on Instagram here
