I think Grand Duke Paul was the most handsome. Both his sons are on the list of most handsome man.

His photos don't always clearly show this, because he was so lean, but Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich was a very big man. While not as tall as his cousin Nicholasha, I would estimate his height as an adult at 6'3" to 6'4".

The other thing I'd like to ask about GD Dmitri is what whas happening to him in years 1921- 1926. I know he lived with Chanel in 1920-1921, and in 1926 he married Audrey, but what whas between?? Did he live in Paris?

I know it sounds weird, but to me Alexei was very handsome too. Maybe he could be the most handsome of all if he just could have gron up.

Coming late onto this thread as usual:

Mikhail Alexandrovich (more he-man-looking than Dimitri)

Boris and Andrei Vladimirovich were both good-looking before dissipation caught up with them.

You can see that I'm a sucker for uniforms and moustaches, but I don't like mutton-chop whiskers at all, so that excludes Alexander II, along with Konstantin Konstantinovich and Sergei Alexandrovich before they moved on to full beards.

As far as connections are concerned, Felix Yussupov Senior was better looking than either of his sons, and can I put forward Nikolai Koulikovsky, whose two sons were also good-looking.

Of non-Russian princes, my pin-up boy must be Ernst August, Duke of Brunswick. I agree that Heinrich of Prussia was very good-looking, though I'm not mad about beards. There is also Louis of Battenberg, and Alexander of Teck (who remained distinguished-looking even after losing his hair).

When I saw the name of this thread my very first thought was "Mikhail Alexandrovich"!!  Seems I'm not alone.  He was so tall and had nice broad shoulders. Even when he started losing his hair he was still handsome.  He's always seemed like a bit of a romantic as well.  I only wish he had more sense of duty to the family...he could have been a real help to Nicky.

Prince Harry is definitely better looking than his brother, even before William started losing his hair.
