STRIKE A POSE

Prince William takes a break from his art history studies at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland to pose for a photo in May. The similarities to his mother, the late Princess Diana, are undeniable: "He has her smile, the same blush to his cheeks," a Diana pal told PEOPLE in 2002, "and the same grace."

RIDE ALONG

Prince William flashes his killer grin before a polo match in August 2002. "I think he will make a fantastic king," his uncle Earl Spencer told PEOPLE in 2000. "He has some of his mother's magic with people." Indeed.

Kutcher, who got all dolled up for the MTV Movie Awards in May, doesn't think his appeal stems from his looks. "I don't think my physical attributes are my best attributes," he told PEOPLE recently. "But people do say I have nice eyelashes. I have a double row."
