Go on, guess, otherwise it’s not much fun.

Even then, I can’t really be bothered to get too excited about Tatler’s list of the top 10 most eligible people in Britain right now.

But we’re here, so let’s get stuck in.

In order to draw out the suspense, I will start with fourth place and count down to number one.

Thus, in fourth, we have Elias Becker. That’s him up top, sporting none of his father’s famous hair colouration:

Elias, 22, is in great shape for a cross-court rally: the handsome model son of Wimbledon champion Boris Becker works out daily, is fervently spiritual and follows a flexitarian diet, dabbling in meat while majoring in plants.

Track him down in Notting Hill eating tacos with friends, DJ-ing in his New York apartment, or tending his pet goat, LeBron.

Wait, he eats tacos? Incredible stuff.

Let’s hope Elias has better business sense than his old man.

Third goes to Lady Lola Bute:

In her array of mini-dresses and beloved Saint Laurent cowboy boots, Lola, 22, is the ultimate society darling. The wildly glamorous daughter of the late 7th Marquess of Bute, she is always the best dressed, whether she’s at her Scottish island home, Mount Stuart, or on a yacht off Ibiza.

She is partial to performing her breakdancing party trick, ‘the Worm’, and dedicated to working on her mental health charity, Eternity Movement.

In all honesty, anybody who can skillfully pull off ‘the Worm’ earns a point in my book.

In second, we have The Duke of Westminster, otherwise known as Hugh Grosvenor.

He inherited a fortune when his father passed away, and regularly features on lists like these.

Just what is it that’s so attractive about billionaire bachelor Hugh, 30? Well, he’s a duke, has a staggering property portfolio, and he’s Prince George’s godfather.

But this Newcastle University graduate is also fiercely private, so catch him (if you’re lucky) in Cheshire near his family home, Eaton Hall, or in London, walking along Grosvenor Square – naturally.

As of earlier this year, the Duke and his family were 12th on the Sunday Times Rich List with an estimated net worth just north of £10 billion.

With a fortune that size, he could pay a team of people to carry him around on a bed of pillows and feed him fruit. But no, instead he just walks around like a normal person.

#humble.

This brings us to number one, and the current darling of the British press, Emma Raducanu:

So you want to play mixed doubles with Emma? Brush up on your Mandarin (she’s fluent); work on your love game (she’s the hottest thing in tennis); and remember diamonds are forever (she’s partial to Tiffany).

If you’ve been on Mars, Emma, 18, catapulted to global superstardom with her electrifying victory at the US Open, when she became the first British woman to win a Grand Slam since 1977.

The real sad part here is that you know the press will turn on Emma at some stage, most likely when the clicks for tearing her down start to outweigh the clicks for articles singing her praises.

Other names on Tatler’s top 10 list include Lady Eliza Spencer, Romeo Beckham, and The Maharaja of Jaipur.

It’s just nice to see a bunch of people who made it on their own, rather than relying on their family names, wealth, or royalty.
