Prince Harry’s 6′ 2″ height caught the eye of his latest admirer, Miss USA 2012.
The 6-foot-4 in her heels, Potomac, Maryland native has her eye on British royalty. The dark-haired beauty dished at the fund-raiser held at New York’s Four Seasons on Tuesday about Prince Harry, who was the guest of honor.
“He is doing a wonderful job of representing your country here. Miss USA is like royalty in the States, so I am really hoping to meet him. He is single, right? Well so am I. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we married. And he is very tall and good looking, I hear. Perfect. We are meant to be.”
The 28-year-old was guest of honor at a glitzy reception thrown by the American Friends of The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
Other notable guests included Black Eyed Peas singer Will.I.Am, Sean Lennon, son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Rudin real estate heiress Beth de Woody and Bright Lights Big City author John McInerney and his socialite and philanthropist wife Anne Hearst-Mcinerney, sister of Patti Hearst, and the daughter of publishing tycoon Randolph J Hearst.

What is it:
bareMinerals All-Over Face Color in Warmth
When did you first try it?
About 2 years ago. I was looking for a new bronzer that would give me a natural, bronzed glow that would feel light on my face – I hate products that feel heavy. Since using the bareMinerals All Over Face Color my skin actually looks and feels healthier. It feels fresh on my face every day and is so light it doesn’t even feel like you have makeup on!
Where can you get it:
Sephora
Price:
$19
Why:
The bareMinerals All-Over Face Color gives me such a beautiful, bronzed color – it makes me look as though I just spent the day in the sun. You only need to use the tiniest bit of powder and instantly your face will have the most amazing glow. I wear it everyday and always get compliments on how nice my skin looks. I love the bareMinerals line – especially because your makeup looks so natural. I have very dry skin so I always stayed away from powders, but bareMinerals actually makes your skin feel moisturized and soft.
TIP:
You can also use this product on your neck and chest when you are feeling extra pale to give you a nice sun-kissed glow all over. I even brush some on my legs when I want them to look a little bit more tan.
Try it and let us know what you think!

About Georges Malaika Foundation (GMF):
Named in memory of Noella Coursaris Musunka’s father, Georges, and the Swahili word malaika, for ‘angel,’ the mission of the Georges Malaika Foundation (GMF) is to “empower through education”. GMF is dedicated to the advancement of African communities by providing educational opportunities to young girls, ages 5 to 18. Our vision is to mobilize the resources necessary to overcome the insurmountable obstacles a young girl faces in obtaining an education in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We provide assistance that paves the way for opportunity, generates greater choice and empowers girls to make informed decisions.This includes building two wells, one on the school grounds and one for the village of Kalebuka, so women and girls do not have to walk for miles to find a source of clean water for their families, and can instead focus on their education.

Joey is one of six college-educated young women from affluent areas of “Longuyland” who live pampered lifestyles in the comfort of their parents’ homes.
THE ENTREPRENEUR
Joey is a driven young woman known for her wit, sarcasm and at times, her sharp tongue. Despite most of her friends being engaged, married or divorced, Joey is in no rush to settle down; especially after having her heart broken by her ex who she believed was “the one.” Joey currently lives at home in Freeport with her family, but does not enjoy being financially dependent and would prefer to be on her own.
While trying to move out of the house, Joey is also following her entrepreneurial dreams with her company Kissamint LLC, a playfully sophisticated line of lip conditioning gloss and breath-freshening drops packaged together in a single component. Despite her modest budget, Joey makes her appearance a priority by hitting the gym and curating the hottest wardrobe she can afford.

Ashlee is one of six college-educated young women from affluent areas of “Longuyland” who live pampered lifestyles in the comfort of their parents’ homes.
THE FASHIONISTA
Ashlee feels her life is almost perfect; she has an amazing family, exciting lifestyle, great sense of fashion and loads of self-confidence. The only thing missing in her life is the man of her dreams, who is difficult to find due to Ashlee’s astronomically-high standards.
Ashlee loves living at home in Roslyn with her best friends, who also happen to be her parents. This petite princess has a larger-than-life personality, a huge heart and an even bigger shoe collection. Her motto is: “if I can’t wear stilettos, I can’t go.”
Ashlee hopes for a traditional marriage where she will be a stay-at-home mom and take care of her husband like a king. Despite the difficulty in finding a man who can keep up with Ashlee’s lavish lifestyle, she does not plan to settle – or move out of her parents’ home –- anytime soon.
