The 45 Most Beautiful Royals From Across The Globe

When actress Grace Kelly ran off with Prince Rainier III of Morocco, Americans watched her every movie, infatuated with the fairy tale of a girl that grew up to be a princess. When Princess Diana captured headlines in the '80s, the world saw what the combination of beauty, grace, sincerity, and power could truly accomplish. Royals are the walking embodiment of their nation's flag, and they continue to make sweeping changes across the globe to this day. With their charity efforts and positive visions, these 45 are truly more "beautiful" than the rest.

45. Princess Ameera Al-Taweel

“People take their voices to the streets when they are not heard by their governments," the princess said of her plan for Middle East stability. "We must build institutions of civil society so people can channel their demands... we must invest in young people through encouraging enterprise." She is a philanthropist and part of a non-royal cadet branch of the royal family after marrying Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal al Saud.

44. Tatiana of Denmark

Back to making rounds in Scandinavia, Princess Tatiana of Denmark is an international style icon, with international roots to boot — she was born in Venezuela, raised in Switzerland, and comes from a strong Russian heritage. Tatiana also shows that you don’t necessarily have to lead a famous life to be famous. Her Instagram only has 3,500 followers, and she spends much of her time cooking and hanging out with non-royal friends!

43. Princess Ariana Austin Makonnen of Ethiopia 

After marrying Prince Joel Dawit Makonnen, the American-born writer and philanthropist became an official member of the Ethiopian imperial family. When she met Prince Makonnen at a Washington D.C. nightclub in 2004, the future-princess had no idea he was royal. Maybe that's why they clicked so well!

42. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

Formerly known as Kate Middleton, Catherine’s winning smile featured strongly in one of the most heavily publicized royal weddings in decades, when she married Prince William in 2011. The couple’s antics are still keenly observed by the world’s media, too, with much having been made of the births of their children: Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte.
