Within minutes of Philippe of Belgium being announced as this year’s winner, it had become the top trending topic on Twitter:

“He is unquestionably handsome, he’s been smartly building his career on more than his looks,” wrote one fan.
“#Philippe of Belgium being named THE Sexiest Man Alive makes his girlfriend the luckiest Woman Alive?” joked another one.

The major upside of the award is that the Belgian monarch will be getting plenty of press for the next few weeks. So what do you say? Do you think Philippe of Belgium is the Sexiest Monarch Alive? And if not, who gets your vote?
