'World's most eligible bachelor' tops list of young aristocrats still single
The billionaire Duke of Westminster, once considered the UK's most eligible bachelor, is now officially off the market. He recently married his new wife Olivia, now the Duchess of Westminster, in a grand ceremony at Chester Cathedral.
The event was attended by over 400 guests, including Prince William and Princess Eugenie. However, there are still several aristocratic bachelors who stand to inherit impressive titles and vast fortunes....

Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp
Among them is Louis Spencer, a nephew of Princess Diana and cousin to Princes William and Harry. As the eldest son of Diana's brother Earl Spencer and his first wife, Victoria Lockwood, he has three glamorous older sisters - Lady Kitty, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer.
He has been dubbed 'the world's most eligible bachelor' and 'Prince Harry lite', reports the Mirror.
At 30 years old, Louis is known for being 'super private', but he also has a budding acting career. He graduated with a First from ArtsEd, an independent performing arts school based in Chiswick, and is signed to talent agency Tavistock Wood.
Known professionally as Louis John Lyons, he joins other famous faces represented by the agency, including Lily James, Rebel Wilson and Dustin Hoffman.
Louis Spencer is set to inherit the sprawling 13,500-acre Althorp estate in Northamptonshire from his father, Earl Spencer, despite having three older sisters. His eldest sister Kitty has expressed support for this tradition, stating: "We've grown up understanding that it's Louis to inherit, and Louis will do an incredible job."
Charles Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley
In Royal circles, Charles Armstrong-Jones maintains a relatively low profile but remains one of the eligible bachelors within the family. As the son of Earl Snowdon and grandson to Princess Margaret, he holds the distinction of being the only one with a title and is also a great-nephew to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Currently 26th in line to the throne, he shares educational ties with Princes William and Harry, having attended Eton College alongside his cousin Arthur Chatto. The 24 year old Viscount Linley pursued further education at Loughborough University and now pursues a career in music.
His sister Margarita revealed to Tatler magazine his musical talents, saying: "He is very into his orchestral music. He is self-taught [and he] can sing, play the piano and the guitar. Somehow he combines it all together including online choirs on his laptop into one piece of music."
Cassius Taylor
Another lesser-known member of the Royal Family, who appears to be single, is Cassius Taylor, who stands 49th in line to the British throne.
The son of Lady Helen Taylor and Timothy Taylor and grandson of the Duke of Kent, Caspian Frederick leads a life slightly removed from Royal duties. The 27 year old grew up with his elder brother Columbus and younger sisters Eloise and Estella, mostly away from the glaring public eye.
After studying at Wellington College in Berkshire, he pursued an arts management degree at Goldsmiths University. Known as a DJ and brand ambassador for Stone Island, the young Royal regularly shares snapshots of his life on Instagram, including pictures with cousin Lady Amelia Windsor.
Once named one of UK's most eligible bachelors by Tatler, Caspian told the magazine: "I always knew I'd end up in the creative industries in some capacity, due to my upbringing, similar to everyone in my family."
George Percy
Then there is George Percy, Earl Percy.
Albeit not a member of the Royal establishment, George Percy's close ties to the monarchy cannot be overlooked. The 40 year old is set to inherit the Duke of Northumberland title, along with a 100,000-acre estate and a fortune estimated to be £509 million.
He will also become the custodian of Alnwick Castle.
Having served as a page of honour for the late Queen, Percy attended Edinburgh University, where he shared a flat with Pippa, the sister of the Princesses of Wales. The Old Etonian prefers to keep his personal life out of the spotlight, notably maintaining careful adherence to privacy norms.
Charlie Gordon-Lennox
Next up is Charlie Gordon-Lennox, Earl of March and Kinrara.
At just 29 years of age, Charlie Gordon-Lennox, known as the Earl of March and Kinrara, has already led a life many can only dream of.
Educated in Oxford and now residing in New York, he has recently launched a menswear brand named Understated. Era.
As the heir to the Duke of Richmond title, he is poised to inherit the breathtaking Goodwood estate in Sussex, which spans 12,000 acres and includes both the renowned Goodwood racecourse and the Goodwood Aerodrome.
In a candid chat with Magneto magazine, he reflected: "I never realised how different it was until I was ten or 11. I'd go to my mates' houses because they were allowed to go on their computer for longer than I was, and they would come to my house because it was better for hide and seek. And then I started to realise, oh, wait, this is a bit weird."
