HUNKY WILLIAM SHOWS HIS HEARTTHROB STYLE!

Handsome Prince William is kicking off the New Year with confidence that could crown him as one of the hottest hunks of 1999.

The formerly shy Prince, who dreaded public appearances after mom Princess Diana's death, has turned into a randy royal who easily chats up the crowds and playfully banters with lovestruck female fans.

The 16 year-old heir to the throne stunned royal watchers by charming the adoring crowd as he arrived for church service at Sandringham, England, with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth and the rest of his Royal kin.

When one girl yelled: "William, where's my Christmas kiss?" the pinup prince smiled, sauntered over and purred, "Later, later."

Insiders sat now that William 's confidence is catching up with his stunning good looks, it's only a matter of time before the future king of England beats Leonardo DiCaprio as King of HeartThrobs.

Besides his flaxen blond hair, dreamy blue eyes and delicate features, William could be the tallest monarch in History.

Experts believe that the lanky teen may shoot up to 6 feet 5 inches, capturing the tallness title held for 450 years by King Henry VIII, who was 6 feet 2 inches.

"Though William's dad is only 5'9, Diana stood at a statuesque of 5'10,"says an insider. "Just like his good looks, it appears that William owes his towering height to his mom."
