(CBS)  They're tabloid favorites, fabulously wealthy -- and blue-bloods, all.

Some are occasionally troublemakers, too.

Meet the first Forbes magazine list of the 20 "Hottest Young Royals" -- with "hot" defined by Forbes as a combination of looks, money, and popularity on the Web.

Only unmarried royals under the age of 35 were considered.

The 20 who made it represent almost $60 billion in wealth and 15 royal lineages.

Forbes, famous for keeping track of the world's richest people, put Britain's Prince William at the top.

And, says CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips, William's brother, Prince Harry, placed second, "to no one's surprise." Watch video.

Right on, cherryfries! I even looked up Mark Phillips bio and saw that he''s been reporting from London since 1982--he should really know better.

Incidentally, Zara is Anne''s daughter from her first marriage----to MARK PHILLIPS!

Well, I personally think that Harry should do something with his hair!! It always looks so dis-sheveled, and I don''t mean in a hip way.

William looks like a pinch-butt blueblood. Harry looks like a working-class bloke.

They need to get this right...it''s Zara, not Azra Phillips. Also, she''s not the Queen''s sister''s daughter, she''s the Queen''s granddaughter. Bad reporting!!!
