Ever since Prince Harry's relationship with Meghan Markle was made public, people have been comparing Meghan and her sister-in-law-to-be Kate Middleton to decide who is the most beautiful commoner-turned-royalty.
Science has now crowned Meghan Markle the most attractive female royal, according to the 'golden ratio' of physical perfection. A Harley Street surgeon has revealed that the bride-to-be came the closest to scoring 100 per cent based on the 'golden ratio', which is said to reveal 'perfect' physical beauty.
Dr Julian De Silva mapped Ms Markle's face and compared it to Kate Middleton, Zara Phillips, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who came in places two to five, respectively.
The result of the comparison shows that Meghan Markle came in first place with 87.4 per cent.
Dr Julian De Silva said: "Meghan has an almost perfectly shaped nose with a 98.5 per cent score, her eye position is exactly right and she has a gorgeous V-shaped or heart-shaped chin which is the shape women most covet".
The Duchess of Cambridge came second with 86.8 per cent.
Dr Julian De Silva said: "Kate stands out for having a perfect gap between her nose and lips and very strong eye spacing. She was marked down for having a weaker chin and jawline than Meghan. She is a striking woman and her scores mark her out as one of the most beautiful women in the world".
Coming in third is Zara Phillips with 81.6 per cent.
Dr Julian De Silva said: "Zara is few points behind Meghan and Kate. She is still a beautiful woman but is marked down by a weak chin and poor eye spacing."
Princess Beatrice came fourth with 80.7 per cent.
Dr Julian De Silva said: "Beatrice scored highly for her nose which is beautifully shaped but had the lowest mark of all the princesses for her chin".
The fifth most beautiful Princess is Princess Eugenie who will be getting married later this year. Her score is at 79.3 per cent.
Dr Julian De Silva said: "Princess Eugenie had by far the lowest mark for her lips at 68.3 per cent - 12 points behind any of the other princess. She is a very pretty woman and scored well in other areas such as eye positioning."
The Golden Ratio was a mathematical equation devised by the Ancient Greeks in an attempt to measure beauty.
Dr De Silva, who runs the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery in London, said: '"Meghan and Kate both really stood out and got significantly higher marks than the three other princesses.
"Meghan has beautiful facial symmetry and gets closer than any other princess to having what the Greeks considered the perfect face.
He added that Meghan's "gorgeous V-shaped chin is far more classically beautiful than Kate's."
"Kate gets a very high rating, too, and stands out for having a perfect gap between her nose and lips and very strong eye spacing," he explained.
"The other three princesses all received high scores but were a little further away from Golden Ratio perfection than Meghan and Kate.
"These brand new computer mapping techniques allow us to solve some of the mysteries of what it is that makes someone physically beautiful, and the technology is useful when planning patients' surgery."
