Kate Middleton named ‘most stylish royal’ according to new study

New research has found that Brits search for Kate Middleton’s wardrobe, hair and make-up more than any other royal woman, making her the most stylish woman in the royal family.

The study conducted by hair experts Longevita analysed Google search data to establish which royal lady receives the highest number of combined monthly searches for fashion, hair and make-up related terms.

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge was revealed as being the most stylish of any royal woman with 11,760 combined monthly searches for various aspects of her image. The term ‘Kate Middleton dresses’ has a total of 4,610 monthly searches whilst searches for the Duchess’ hair have 700 monthly searches.

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex is the second most stylish royal woman. The combined number of monthly searches for Meghan’s style including hair and make up are 9,600. The term ‘Meghan Markle dress’ has 1,300 monthly searches and ‘Meghan Markle style’ has 1,000 monthly average searches in the UK. Meghan also has the highest number of searches of any royal woman for her make-up with a total of 3,250 monthly searches as well as having 1,000 monthly searches for her hair.

The late Princess Diana of Wales is the third most fashionable royal woman, with 7,540 combined monthly searches for each aspect of her style, 24 years after her passing. This breaks down to terms such as “Princess Diana fashion” receiving 1,900 monthly searches as well as ‘Princess Diana outfits’ having 1,300 monthly searches. Searches for the Princess of Wales’ iconic hairstyles amount to 600 per month, with searches for her make-up totalling to 940.

The royal woman with the fourth most influential style is The Queen with 1,220 monthly searches for her outfits, make-up and hair. More specifically, the term ‘The Queen’s outfits’ is searched 420 times a month.

The least influential Royal woman when it comes to fashion is Camilla Parker Bowles with 70 monthly searches for various terms related to her style. There are also only ten searches per month in the UK for her hair, the lowest number analysed.

Commenting on the findings, a spokesperson for Longevita said: “It is fascinating to see how influential each of the royal women are in terms of style, hair and make-up. Each member of the British Royal Family has a distinct style with The Queen having brightly coloured dresses with her unchanging iconic hairstyle and Kate’s signature long skirts however it is surprising to see who’s style resonates with the British public the most.

It is remarkable to see that Princess Diana is the third most fashionable royal woman, despite her passing, highlighting the thought and care she put into every outfit she wore.

As the The Queen and the royal family look forward to celebrating the Platinum Jubilee year with plenty of appearances and engagements, it will be fascinating to see if this ranking changes.”
