Prince Harry seemed reluctant to answer at first \u2014 \u201cThere\u2019s a conflict of interest here,\u201d he said with a laugh initially \u2014 but ultimately gave his two cents after Corden and co-host Rio Ferdinand encouraged him to be \u201cbold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cBe bold?\u201d the Spare author said. \u201cHarry Styles [first], Harry Kane [second].\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAfter a long pause, Prince Harry conceded that he thinks he\u2019s in third place, \u201cequal\u201d to J.K. Rowling\u2019s beloved Harry Potter character. How will they settle the tie? \u201cWe\u2019ll have a Quidditch off,\u201d the prince quipped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIndeed, Styles has a substantial case behind him for the most famous British Harry. The star has notched four No. 1 songs and three No. 1 albums on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.officialcharts.com\/artist\/51376\/harry-styles\/\">the U.K. charts<\/a>, and his 2022 single \u201cAs It Was\u201d reigned atop the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/billboard-global-200\/\">Billboard Global 200<\/a> for 15 weeks. A three-time Grammy winner, he also recently made history in London with a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/pop\/harry-styles-guinness-world-record-wembley-stadium-residency-1236288133\/\">record 12 nights<\/a> at Wembley Stadium earlier in July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBut if you\u2019re gauging fame levels using online search trends, both Kane \u2014 star player of England\u2019s national soccer team \u2014 and Potter outrank the prince and the pop star.
