Golden Ratio: These 5 Royals Are Considered Most Beautiful in the World

Catherine met the future Prince William at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 2001, and they married in 2011. According to an analysis by plastic surgeon Dr. Julian De Silva, she scores 86.8 percent on the Golden Ratio scale; her eye spacing and the distance between her nose and lips were rated particularly highly. This places her fifth on the list of the most beautiful royals.

Since 2022, as Princess of Wales, she has officially held the title that Diana once held. With her classic elegance, she regularly captivates everyone’s attention there. As the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, she also represents the next generation of the Windsors.

Before marrying into the British royal family in 2018, Meghan Markle played the lawyer Rachel Zane on the U.S. series “Suits” from 2011 to 2018, gaining international recognition. On the Golden Ratio scale, she scored 87.4 percent; she was particularly praised for her facial symmetry, the shape of her nose, and her V-shaped chin. This placed her just ahead of Princess Kate in the rankings—at number 4.

On May 19, 2018, she married Prince Harry at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle and became the Duchess of Sussex. A few years later, the couple stepped back from their royal duties and built their own media empire in California, featuring podcasts, Netflix projects, and the lifestyle brand As Ever. Their wedding day, however, remains one of the most talked-about moments in recent royal history.

3rd Place: In the 1950s, Grace Kelly became director Alfred Hitchcock’s go-to leading lady with films such as “Rear Window” and “To Catch a Thief.” For her role in “The Country Girl,” she won the Oscar for Best Actress in 1955. On the Golden Ratio scale, she scores 88.8 percent, and her eye area was rated as nearly ideal.

In 1956, she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, thereby ending her film career to become the first lady of the Mediterranean principality. As Princess Gracia Patricia, she shaped Monaco’s public image for decades until she died in a car accident on September 14, 1982. Her legacy as a style icon and philanthropist continues to this day.

In the Golden Ratio assessment, Queen Rania of Jordan scored 88.9 percent, the highest among all living royals in the evaluation. Her classically shaped chin and lips were particularly highlighted.

In 1993, she married then-Prince Abdullah, who ascended the Jordanian throne in 1999 as Abdullah II; since then, she has stood by his side as queen during numerous state visits. Her commitment to educational projects and humanitarian initiatives has earned her worldwide recognition. She was just one-tenth of a percentage point behind Grace Kelly in the rankings. She came in second place.

On July 29, 1981, she married Prince Charles at St. Paul's Cathedral and became the most-photographed woman of her time, before the marriage ended in divorce in 1996. According to statistics, she scored 89.05 percent on the Golden Ratio, placing her ahead of all other royals surveyed. “All [...] are very beautiful women, but when measured against the Golden Ratio, Princess Diana comes out on top,” Ibtimes quoted plastic surgeon Julian De Silva as saying.

On August 31, 1997, Lady Di died in a car accident in Paris; her humanitarian work continues to have an impact to this day. This legacy has made her an unrivaled icon of the British royal family.
