British TV host James Corden ranked the top Harrys in the country on an episode of his post-World Cup show.
Harry Kane, who's been a standout on England's national team, spurred the conversation.
Corden said the discussion will continue when Prince Harry is a guest in a few weeks.
James Corden is a fan of standout British footballer Harry Kane, but he's only his second- or third-favorite Harry in his native England.
The topic came up during the talk show host's FIFA World Cup on FoxAfter Hours With James Corden, which airs nightly following coverage of each day's matches, when Corden noted that the ongoing international sports tournament is part of "the greatest period" of British soccer star Harry Kane's career. (He's now England's all-time leading scorer at the event.)
That's when Corden's cohost, comedian Ian Karmel, asked where Kane ranks on the list of all-time British Harrys.
Corden proceeded to rank the top people with the popular name in the country. Not that it was easy for him.

"This show is only an hour long," Corden told his cohosts. "I feel like we could sit here through to the breakfast show tomorrow and not get to the bottom of this."
After only a moment's consideration, Corden said, "Styles one, Kane two," but then decided that the fictional Harry Potter (portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe in the hit movies) was the real runner-up. That left Prince Harry in fourth place.

"I do think the thing with Harry Potter is the weight that was on his shoulders," Corden said. "That kid was sleeping under the stairs."
J.K. Rowling's boy wizard, the main character in her massively successful books and movies of the same name, did, in fact, live in poor conditions when he was away from his boarding school, Hogwarts. His lonely life away from friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) included sleeping under the stairs.
Karmel referenced the all-important Quidditch Cup, an annual tournament held at the school, when he added, "He dragged an entire family of Weasleys to the championship."
Sadly for fans of the late Harry Belafonte, he was rejected, because he's American and not British.

Then Corden was adamant: "Prince Harry is coming on the show in a few weeks time. We'll discuss this fully then. We'll save it for then."
The World Cup continues through July 19, with Corden's show airing at midnight local time on Fox.
