				Educated internationally and at British boarding schools, 26 year-old Ben read Modern History at the University of St. Andrews (Prince William's alma mater), finally coming down in September 2003. While history and politics remain particular interests, his passions extend much further, also encompassing music, the fine arts, architecture, theatre, film, fashion, and the countryside. A latter-day Renaissance man, Ben puts this down partially to being the son of a British father and Swiss mother (Austrian and Italian ancestry); precisely the same combination making up Ian Fleming's super-spy, James Bond. Any plans to follow in Bond's footsteps, then? "So much more fun to play a baddie", was his considered reply.

				You may recall him from the first season of American Princess. It makes perfect sense why Paul Burrell was chosen to help decide who the next American Princess will be.
<br><br>
Paul Burrell came from a working-class family and was raised in a small house in a coal-mining community in the north of England, Grassmoor. It may not have been as luxurious as a palace or mansion, but little did Paul know, he would be working for and living with pure royalty. Paul knew he wanted to be around the royals when he was eight years old. Upon watching the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace he used to turn to his parents and say, "One day I'm going to work here," and he did just that.
<br><br>
At 18, Paul embarked on his new lifestyle and career when he joined the staff of the Buckingham Palace as a household footman. He then became the Queen's personal footman and traveled with the Queen and Prince Philip on various occasions. They were treated to extravagant banquets where they dined on the finest silver and ate the most exotic foods. Sounds like a pretty tough life, right? From the Great Wall of China, to the distant island of Tuvalu in the South Pacific, Paul was there in his travels with the Queen and Prince.
<br><br>
When he wasn't traveling, and living in the Royal Household, he attended and participated in the organization of Her Majesty's State Banquets and receptions for famous world leaders and heads of state. Among the honored guests, Paul had the chance of meeting Pope John Paul II at Buckingham Palace.
<br><br>
Not long after, in 1987, the Prince and Princess of Wales asked Paul to join their household. Paul was butler at their home at the Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. He was responsible for tending to the most renowned couple in the world. Princess Diana was an inspiration to Paul over the years and he served her until her death in 1997. Perhaps one of his most treasured moments of Princess Diana was shortly after she and the Prince had separated. She was asked to list what she wanted to take from Highgrove to her apartment and at the top of her list was his name.
<br><br>
His life in service to the royals gave Paul the opportunity to travel the world and to experience things he might have only dreamed of. In November of 1997, Paul was awarded the Royal Victorian Medal by the Queen for his service to the Royal Family. He is honored to know that he is the only person to have been awarded the medal for service to Princess Diana.
<br><br>
Paul knows a thing or two about what royalty is all about. His experience as a butler for high class society makes him a perfect judge in American Princess. There is no doubt he will know a princess when he sees one.

				A native New Yorker, Oxenberg grew up in London where her first Shakespearean acting coach was Richard Burton. He was engaged to her mother, HRH Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia. She returned to the United States to attend St. Paul's School where she graduated Summa cum Laude and was admitted to Harvard University. She transferred to Columbia University after deciding to pay her own way through college and start modeling. She was photographed for the covers of Vogue, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Redbook, Good Housekeeping, Los Angeles magazine and Interview.
<br><br>
Oxenberg's acting career took off after landing her first audition as Princess Diana in CBS TV's "Royal Romance of Charles and Diana." The talent agency ICM immediately signed her, and she was soon personally cast by Aaron Spelling in his hit ABC TV series "Dynasty." She went on to star in various television miniseries and movies including "Still Crazy Like a Fox," "Swimsuit" and "Trenchcoat in Paradise." She hosted "Saturday Night Live" with Paul Simon and then took time off to complete a two-year Meisner training course with Joanne Baron. She was subsequently cast in a remake of "Roman Holiday" and the FOX TV pilot, "K-9000."

For her feature film debut she starred opposite Hugh Grant in Ken Russell's "The Lair of the White Worm." Next, she starred in two mini-series, "Bony" and "Ring of Scorpio," for Paramount and the BBC. After taking time off to have a baby, she resurrected her role as Princess Diana, in "Charles and Diana; A Palace Divided." Oxenberg then starred in CBS TV's "Treacherous Beauties" and the syndicated series "Acapulco Heat."
<br><br>
She again took time off to complete comedy improvisation with the Groundling's Theater. Oxenberg then starred with Jon Voight in Dom DeLuise's "Boys Will Be Boys," "Arthur's Quest," "Time Served" with Jeff Fahey and Louise Fletcher, Sidney Furie's "The Collectors" And "Catch Me If You Can" with Tim Matheson.

				As a British journalist who specialized on the British royal family, James Whitaker has been exposed to royalty for years. What he has seen and written about the royals will help him distinguish a deserving princess from the crowd.<br><br>

James began his writing career in 1960 with a chartered accountancy firm. He joined a photo/feature agency in Fleet Street and then eventually joined the Daily Mail in 1967. One year later, he began specializing in royal stories and never passed up the opportunity to cover the Queen and her family. During this time, he was the only print journalist that covered the royal family. <br><br>

James is well known for his coverage on Prince Charles and Princess Diana and reported on Prince Charles when he was 17. His goal was to discover who he would one day marry. He also had the opportunity to meet Princess Diana when she was a teenager. Once their romance began James was right there with them, being the first to publicize the news that Diana was the new girl in Charles’ life. He also was there front row at their wedding! After their divorce he became the main royal correspondent in the UK for People Magazine and dished out the dirty details. When she sadly passed, he ended his career as royal “Boswell”. <br><br>

James Whitaker is featured on various television documentaries in the U.S., South Africa, and all of Europe. He has written major articles for all of the leading magazines in these countries. For the past five years, he has been the Royal Correspondent for the number one daytime show in the U.K., This Morning. <br><br>

In 2004, you may have seen him in the reality TV hit Celebrity Fit Club where he was made Mr. Fit Club 2004. There is no question that James is qualified to help us choose our next American Princess.

				20-year-old Theo Dreyfus is Swiss born, but a Londoner at heart. He neither owns a vast estate in the countryside nor a title, but his most obvious current namesake is a private bank in Switzerland, from which his father broke free at the beginning of his career, apparently always keen to do his own thing. His father did become an international financial advisor, working to strengthen the economies of poor countries predominantly in the Caribbean and Africa.
<br><br>
Theo is currently an undergraduate at Oxford University, studying that most prized of subjects. Before this, he went to Marlborough College, a prominent boarding school in the heavenly plains of Wiltshire. He is very much enjoying his courses and has written papers on everything from American Independence, through the Aztecs and Incas, to the Italian Renaissance. He will not divulge his many exotic interests beyond saying that he loves to immerse himself in new cultures and learn new languages.  He sees himself as quite the international playboy and is also very fond of tennis and has played for his county.
<br><br>
Theo's future plans involve studying for a masters at an American University, preferably Columbia, and then "Who knows...that's the million dollar question!"
<br><br>
His thoughts on being a princess?  "I think a princess should be effortlessly elegant, in every way.  And I'm very keen on confidence in a girl, as well as politeness.  If a princess is going to be hosting banquets and those kinds of things, she'll have to be able to entertain people and interest them.  And she'll have to look gorgeous in beautiful dresses."

				Educated internationally and at British boarding schools, 26 year-old Ben read Modern History at the University of St. Andrews (Prince William's alma mater), finally coming down in September 2003. While history and politics remain particular interests, his passions extend much further, also encompassing music, the fine arts, architecture, theatre, film, fashion, and the countryside. A latter-day Renaissance man, Ben puts this down partially to being the son of a British father and Swiss mother (Austrian and Italian ancestry); precisely the same combination making up Ian Fleming's super-spy, James Bond. Any plans to follow in Bond's footsteps, then? "So much more fun to play a baddie", was his considered reply.<br><br>

Now based mainly in London, Ben's varied career has included a stint at renowned auction house Christie's (where he indulged his interest in the decorative arts), time as a night club host in various haunts of Soho, as well as his other incarnation as an aspiring Impresario promoting jazz and cabaret acts from around the world. More recently, his career has turned to writing and broadcasting, contributing regularly to national publications including The Daily Telegraph, Mail on Sunday, and political journals of various sorts. His long-standing interest in the Middle East (beginning with a childhood fascination for Lawrence of Arabia) has led to him being much in demand as a social and political commentator with television channels focusing on that part of the world. Equally, work as a society columnist has provided him with the ideal platform to observe at close quarters the wonders and absurdities of British national life, from the Royals downwards.  An unapologetic lover of life, Ben puts down his suitability as a 'beau' to a fascination of the extremes of both high and low-life. "Almost all can be forgiven so long as someone is interesting" is a motto he stands by. Heroes include Lord Byron, former Prime Ministers Benjamin Disraeli and David Lloyd George, Muriel Spark's Miss Jean Brodie, and Welsh Diva Dame Shirley Bassey.<br><br>

On his requirements for a princess, Ben suggests, "One would expect a princess to have the three Ds," explains Ben, "that's Decency, Dignity and Decorum. My Dad says good manners cost nothing.  It's not a breeding thing, it's a learning thing.  If I can help these girls learn, then that's great."

				Alexander was educated at Millfield School, one the country's best private schools and was a contestant on the reality TV program on E! "Filthy rich cattle drive" in 2005.  He was the captain of the winning team and raised $35,000 for a local charity.<br><br>

Alexander is now at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester studying Property. He is the Social Secretary at the University, which enables him to organize all the amazing parties for which Cirencester has got its reputation.<br><br>

As a member of the nobility himself, Alex has a clear idea of what the judges should be looking for in an American Princess: "She should be sparkling, alive and confident," he says. "Polite, sweet, endearing and engaging in any conversation, and very lovable."
