Harry and Becks are 'most inspiring Brits'
Posted by Jane Murphy
Ever wondered what kind of people work on super-successful celebrity magazines? Well, they're apparently the kind of people who think Prince Harry is the most inspiring Brit in the world.
Staff at Hello! magazine's 13 international offices have just drawn up a list of the world's 100 most inspiring and influential people.
Unsurprisingly, Barack Obama came out on top - but after that, it all gets ever-so-slightly silly. Power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were second and third respectively...
...closely followed by Madonna, who came just ahead of Prince Harry. Now, are those two really more inspiring and influential than, say, Nelson Mandela?
Other notable Brits on the list? David Beckham, who took eighth place; Prince William (10th); Kate Middleton (24th); Lewis Hamilton (25th); Amy Winehouse (28th); Elizabeth Hurley (32nd); and Kate Moss (36th). Hmmm...
Meanwhile, it was all a bit embarrassing for French president Nicolas Sarkozy - because he could only manage 19th place, while his wife Carla Bruni came ninth.
The French media are calling it a "humiliation". Never mind, Nic! Maybe you'll rank a little higher if OK! magazine ever compiles a similar list - although you'll have to take your place behind Jordan, Kerry Katona and Paris Hilton, obviously...
So who'd get your vote for the most influential and inspiring Brit? Tell us here.
