According to a well-informed source, Prince Harry is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the prince's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

UPDATE 19/04/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Why not Prince Harry for Person of the Year?

The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 39-year-old prince, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Prince Harry so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the prince have already been named ‘Briton Of The Year’ by some major British newspapers and even ‘London Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in London (Prince Harry's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the prince was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“Prince Harry Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 18 Apr 2024
“Congrats! Harry has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 18 Apr 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Prince Harry?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 18 Apr 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Prince Harry?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
