Prince
Charles famously mused: "I come into fashion about once every 25 years". Now,
his eldest son has discovered that, despite being this very age, he’s already
very much out of fashion in his choice of wardrobe. Whilst at least making an appearance on the annual GQ magazine ‘best-dressed list’, Prince William may be thinking he’d have preferred to be completely overlooked, for he doesn’t rank much higher in the fashion stakes than his 86-year-old grandfather. 
Such criticism of William is nothing new. When he and girlfriend Kate Middleton made an appearance at the Cheltenham festival in March 2007, the ultra-modern couple who would likely choose Boujis nightclub over the British Museum were condemned as being more akin to ‘Fred and Gladys’ (a.k.a. Charles and Camilla) thanks to their appearance in staid, his-and-hers country tweeds. Still top in the royal wardrobe stakes is Prince Harry. Although down one place from last year, the 23-year-old royal who is currently enjoying a resurgence in his popularity following his military service in Afghanistan ranks just outside the top ten, coming in at No. 12. 
The prince who has previously been hailed as "cool" and a fashion icon by the hip-hop stars Jay Z and Outkast’s Andre 3000 ranks in 25th place. While Prince Charles is first in line to the throne, number one in the fashion stakes goes for a second year running to a man who’s more famous as 007: James Bond star Daniel Craig.

I only hope THIS prince understands what 'in love means.' 
If he doesn't, you are better off with a computer you can unplug if it becomes uncooperative.
