Prince Richard of Hanover (Richard Thomas Charles Alexander; born 5 August 1999), known professionally as The Prince, is a British singer, activist, and a member of the British royal family. The only son of King Thomas and Christy Turlington, he is currently the second in line to the throne, as the heir presumptive to his sister, Queen Alexandra.

A founding member and one-third of the English boy band, The Prince's Men, in 2018, Richard founded the band along with his two highschool friends, Richard Moss and Benjamin Adams, with whom he had previously paired on a frequent basis as an informal band during their highschool years. As the band's nominal leader and its lead vocalist, the band has seen relative success so far, with their debut album, This Is Who We Are released in 2019 to modestly positive reviews, while their similarly-named debut single, This Is Who We Are saw massive success upon its release in that same year, leading Richard and his bandmates to later receive several awards at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, with Richard himself personally winning the Best New Artist award. In 2021, the band released their second album, Conception, which was also met with similarly positive reviews.

In addition to his music career, Richard is also actively involved in several charitable causes, namely climate change, unemployment, and poverty, along with the likes of his family members.
