Meet Prince Hubertus of Hohenlohe-Langenburg,  the German prince who is skiing for Mexico in the 2010 Olympics.  I don’t really care about the Olympics, but when I see a name like Hubertus von Hohenlohe, I can’t help but take notice.  I’d tell you more, but Time magazine has beaten me to the punch.  Although, I’m considering him for honorary inclusion into the Foppish Dandy Database, purely based on his name alone.

Apparently he’s also a photographer AND a pop singer who performs under the names Andy Himalaya and Royal Disaster.

Here’s one of his videos, a song called “I Want Pop”:

This video for “Undiscovered Streets” highlights some of the 51 year-old’s accomplishments:
