9. Prince Hisahito (Japan)
Via japantimes.co.jp
In Japanese, Hisahito means “serene and virtuous,” qualities which will surely serve him well when he assumes his place as Emperor of Japan (he is currently third in the line of succession). For now, though, he is a happy, active youngster who has spent his entire life – from birth up to his eighth birthday last September – in the eye of an adoring public. The young Prince’s status isn’t without controversy – his birth slowed a movement to change rules pertaining to the male-dominated Imperial succession plan amidst three older female heirs. But Hisahito is too busy riding his bike to worry about any of that.
