- Prince Harry, 33, and Prince William, 35, are both married to beautiful women – but which is the more handsome of the pair?
- It is said they are almost neck and neck according to the Golden Ratio, an Ancient Greek measurement of attractiveness.
- However, one brother beats the other by a few percentage points, due to his more “in proportion” face.
A mathematical method used by the ancient Greeks to rate facial attractiveness has found one brother to be handsome by the other, but there isn’t much in it.
Prince Harry’s was said to be 63 per cent accurate on the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, said an expert.
This ratio determines facial perfection, and recently Harry’s 36-year-old fianceé Meghan Markle was named the most beautiful royal, according to the same measurement system.
She gained a score of 87.4 per cent – over 20 per cent more than her future husband.
However, Prince William doesn’t fall far behind, scoring 59 per cent – just four per cent less than his younger brother.
Meanwhile, his wife Kate Middleton scored an impressive rating of 86.8 per cent on the ratio.
So what is it that makes Harry more attractive than his brother? As Kay Greveson, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner at Regents Park Aesthetics, the pair have a lot in common when it comes to their looks.
She said: “Both Harry and William score very close when mapping against facial perfection, which is not surprising as they are related and so will share many of the same features.
“They both have a similar good shape and also eye shape and distance between the eyes, which are measurements that form part of the golden ratio calculation.
They also have a similar mouth shape. They both have several aspects of their face that are not symmetrical, but this is common in many faces, even those considered the most beautiful or handsome.”
However, certain facial features set them apart, and give Prince Harry the edge on his older brother.
“According to the golden ratio, William has a more prominent forehead and a smaller chin than Harry but his nose is in a better proportion to his face,” said Kay.
“There are many factors that should be considered when assessing the male face such as prominence of the jaw line, with stronger, wider jaw lines seen as more attractive than smaller, more feminine jawline and chin.
“Using the facial mapping, Harry has a stronger chin and jaw line than William so scores higher in this aspect.”
Here is every we know so far about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding, which will take place on May 19 2018.
