Bride-to-be Kate Middleton beating out Princess Diana may have been a "big surprise," Greg Hodge, managing director of the site, told The New York Post. But Prince Charles placing 10th on the men's "most beautiful" list may be the most shocking. Prince Carl Philip of Sweden grabbed the top spot among the guys, while Prince William took fifth.
"The British royals are typically very horsey-looking," Hodge explained. "Diana certainly improved the... gene pool, and we hope that Kate will do the same."

#7 Princess Madeleine of Sweden
ReplyThe rest can go home.
How about the most handsome royal MEN?
Have you ever seen Grace Kelly???
I agree Koz. Princess Madeleine tops them all!
Replyno kate has the rest beat!!!
ReplyTechnically, Charlotte Casiraghi is not a royal....her mother is, but like Zara Phillips she is not royal. And how you you forget Princess Maxima of the Netherlands? She gets my vote!
Replyshe is royal her mother is a princess, that by royal protocal makes her a blue blood roayal
What about Grace's daughters, Caroline and Stephanie? Haven't seen them for a while, but I recall them being really gorgeous.
ReplyUnfortunately Princess Stephanie partied WAY too hard & got too much sun, she's a wreck. Caroline is still a beauty though. If they are going into the past, why not a vote for Queen Alexandra of England, she was extremely lovely when young. Google "Alexandra Princess of Wales" and see.
Of course, of COURSE it is the lovely Princess Grace of the United States of America...I do love little Kate and loved Diana. Wouldn't she be proud of the young lady her son has chosen!!
ReplyPrincess Keisha of Nigeria, Princess Angela of Liechtenstein, Princess Sikhanyiso of Swaziland and Baroness Cecile de Massey of Monaco are all beautiful and should be on the list.
ReplyWhen it comes to grace, beauty, glamour and the apotheosis of style; none could compare then or now to HRH Pincess Margaret
ReplyI agree with Princess Grace being first, but the next three don't belong there. I think Grace's granddaughter Charlotte (or more so her daughter Caroline) should be second and third. The others are a throw up. Diana shouldn't even be on the list. Princess Diana looked like a man in drag. With her huge honker, strong chin, and short hairdo, she looked more like a man than a woman. She just didn't have feminine features. Kate Middleton is okay -- still kind of tomboyish, but way better than Diana.
ReplyYou have a glaring omission in the Top 5, and that's Princess Haya of Jordan (now Dubai).
ReplyKATE MIDDLETON IS BT FAR THE BEST LOOKING NATURAL BEAUTY, GRACE KELLY NEXT BUT SHE HAD A LOT OF HOLLYWOOD MAKE UP, AND YES SOME PLASTIC BUT STILL BEAUTIFULL
ReplyWILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHO IS THE WOMAN IN THE GREEN DRESS? I DON'T SEE HER NAME?? THANK YOU.
ReplyQueen Rania ahead of Princess Diana and Kate Middleton? I don't think so-and where is Caroline of Monaco?
ReplyPrincess Margaret? Princess Margaret???? This is a joke, right?
ReplyI still think Diana is the most beautiful of all.
ReplyI think Diana tops them all in beauty, grace and the ability to show love.
