See All the Royals You Had No Idea Used to Be Handsome

Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex

The youngest of Queen Elizabeth II's children, Prince Edward sported a dashing appearance back in 1982 that would rival Prince Henry's.

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Queen Elizabeth's husband today is 95 years old, but back in 1947 he was a sharply dressed lieutenant.

Prince Frederick

The oldest son of King Henrik of Denmark is not only next in line to the throne, he's also known for his dashing good looks.

Prince Joachim

Prince Frederick's younger brother is also not one to be outdone — he too inherited his family's good genes.

King Felipe VI

The King of Spain apparently used to have an uncanny resemblance to young Mel Gibson — at least back in the '90s.

Prince Carl Philip

The Duke of Värmland might be fourth in line to the throne of Spain, but his dapper appearance would have you thinking otherwise.

Prince Andrew

Andrew, Duke of York, looks almost unrecognizable while posing by a Royal Air Force helicopter in 1981.

King Harald V

Fun fact: He might be the king of Norway, but before taking over the throne in 1991, he competed in the Olympics in sailing in 1964.

Prince Haakon

As King Harald's only son, Prince Haakon has taken after his dad in not only appearance, but also in his love for sports, mainly windsurfing.

Prince Michael

The paternal first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Michael looked handsome, and surprisingly tan, during his engagement ceremony in 1978.

Prince Albert II

The prince of Monaco is the son of movie icon Grace Kelly, so it comes as no surprise that he takes after her in the looks department.
