Noblesse oblige? The world's young royals mostly party in style

Updated

Forbes ranks the world's young royals -- those between age 18 and 35 and still unmarried -- according to power. As Forbes measures it, power is based on international web and media presence and family wealth.

Looking at the young royals (and who doesn't sneak a peak?), Princes William and Harry rank numbers 1 and 2, respectively. No surprise there. Their first cousin, Zara Philips is number 3. The British press is gossip-hungry and dedicated and the royal family obliges. The Crown Prince of Dubai (Sheikh Hamdan etc..) is number 4. Then we're back to the British royal family with Princess Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie, who rank number 5 and number 7. Princess Sirivannavari of Thailand is number 6. The prince and princess of Monaco snag the numbers 8 and 9 spots, and the top ten rounds out with Prince Azim of Brunei.
