Prince Harry's Favorite Bond Is Not Daniel Craig!

Prince Harry turned out to help Daniel Craig celebrate the world premiere of Quantum of Solace in London Wednesday night.

So he must be a huge fan of the blond Bond, right? Well ... not exactly.

Before the movie began, Harry and his older brother, Prince William, spent a half-hour outside chatting with 200 servicemen, military veterans and their families.

And high-spirited Harry made no secret of his favorite 007 star. "There's only one Bond," he told Stan Pepper, an 88-year-old veteran. "Sean Connery."

That might comes as a bit of a blow to Craig, the reigning James Bond, who strutted the nearby red carpet with girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell.

But the actor – who earned raves for his first super-spy outing in Casino Royale – was also happy to play favorites.

Asked which Bond Girl he prefers, Craig told reporters, "the one on my arm, of course."

His good arm, that is. The actor – who continues to recover from shoulder surgery – wore a sling over his tuxedo.
