Prince Harry certainly is popular these days. Musician Akon wants to teach him to rap. Daniel Craig — the most recent actor to play James Bond — thinks Harry has “everything it takes” to be the next 007.

Poor Prince William. Doesn’t anyone want to hear his mad rhymes or watch him jump out of an airplane without a parachute? Well, at least people still want to meet him.

Last week I was looking at some photos of the King of Bhutan and I thought, “Wow, he looks like Elvis.”

Then I thought, “Well, maybe that’s silly. He doesn’t really look like Elvis, does he?” And I used that excuse to go to YouTube and watch Elvis videos, in the process forgetting all about the king of Bhutan. (Watching videos is a lot more fun than doing boring webmaster work.)

Well, it turns out I’m not the only one who thinks he looks a bit Elvis-esque. What do you think?

Bhutan’s King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck (L) and his fiancee Jetsun Pema pose in Bhutan in this undated handout released May 20, 2011. The young and dashing Bhutanese king on Friday announced his engagement to a commoner, sending his adoring subjects into rhapsody at the prospect of a grand wedding later this year in the last of the Himalayan kingdoms. Wangchuck, termed “Prince Charming” for his Elvis Presley looks, smiled as he named his bride, a 21-year-old student at London’s Regents College, during his speech opening parliament.
