Actor Tom Hardy isn't just sexy — he's also basically British royalty. You may already know that Tom and Prince Harry have been buds for years, as they have been spotted hanging out at everything from polo matches to movie premieres. However, the actor is also tight with Harry's dad, as Tom is an ambassador for The Prince's Trust, which was founded by Prince Charles. It seems that even the queen loves him, since Tom was awarded a Commander of the British Empire for services to drama in the Queen's Birthday Honour List for 2018. Need more proof?
