Πρίγκιπας Χάρι: Ο πιο γοητευτικός γαλαζοαίματος στον κόσμο

Και επίσημα ο πιο γοητευτικός και περιζήτητος

 γαλαζοαίματος του πλανήτη είναι ο πρίγκιπας σύμφωνα με

 μία έρευνα στην οποία συμμετείχαν πάνω από 1.000 γυναίκες.

 Χάρι είναι ο πιο δημοφιλής νεαρός γαλαζοαίματος. Είναι ένας διασκεδαστικός

 τύπος, που κάνει γνωστή την Βρετανία σε όλο τον κόσμο. Επίσης, έχει κόκκινα 

μαλλιά, δεν υπάρχουν πολλοί γνωστοί άνδρες στο Χόλιγουντ με κόκκινα μαλλιά 

αλλά ο Χάρι απέδειξε ότι αυτό είναι ένα χρώμα που γοητεύει».

Αυτή είναι η λίστα με τους 10 πιο hot γαλαζοαίματους:
