A social networking site called BeautifulPeople.com polled over 127,000 people in order to rank the most beautiful royals (according to the New York Post the site generated images randomly, two at a time, allowing users to vote hot-or-not style). It’s no surprise that Princess Grace of Monaco came in at number one. It is surprising that princess-to-be Kate Middleton snagged the number three spot, one ahead of Princess Diana.

I am just a little bit thrilled that you including non-european royals on the list — especially Maharani Gayatri Devi, who died only recently at the ripe age of 90.

Kate’s pretty but not prettier than Charlotte! Or Diana. Speaking of which, I’m surprised Charlotte’s mother/Grace’s daughter Caroline isn’t on this list, but she looks so much like her mom that it’s almost six of one/half dozen of the other.

I think Kate nudged ahead of Diana because her wedding is iminent and people may want to give her a chance to have her day in the sun out of her mother-in-law’s shadow (she didn’t even get to choose her own engagement ring). Kate looks a lot like Princess Mary of Denmark to me.

It would have been interesting to cast the net a bit further and have seen the Spanish princess (who I don’t remember seeing).

They just had to throw Kate in… Honestly the Royal family in England are not that good looking compared to other Royal families across the globe. The only one who is good looking is Prince Harry!
