Princess Grace of Monaco has topped a poll on the “most beautiful royals”. The Princess scored 91 per cent.
Queen Rania came in a close second with 90 per cent; Kate Middleton was third with 84 per cent, and Lady Diana fourth with 82.
The only other British royal to make it into the top ten was Princess Margaret, who came in ninth with 70 per cent.
The exclusive online dating community, BeautifulPeople.com, provided a list of royals and told voters to choose who was the most beautiful. 127,000 adults voted in the poll, which was open to everyone, not just to members, who must themselves pass a similar rating system in order to join the exclusive dating community.
“Kate Middleton is no typical beauty,” said Greg Hodge, managing director of BeautifulPeople.com. “But her style, deportment and immaculate grooming have clearly won her an army of admirers, propelling her to the same heights as Princess Grace and Queen Rania.
“I think the world is breathing a sigh of relief that the British monarchy can only get better looking in generations to come.”
Not faring quite so well were the Duchess of York and her daughters, Eugenie and Beatrice. Prince Andrew’s youngest daughter Eugenie was top of the three – with 33 per cent of votes – followed by Beatrice and Princess Fiona from Shrek sharing 32 per cent of votes each. Fergie scored 21 per cent, just behind Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
The men’s list was topped by Prince Carl Phillip of Sweden. Prince William came in fifth, just behind his younger brother Harry, who was fourth.
