Britain's Duchess Catherine has been named Britain's ultimate beauty icon.

The 32-year-old royal - mother to 10-month-old tot Prince George - has been praised for her natural look in a new poll, in which she tops fellow British beauties such as Cheryl Cole and Cara Delevingne.

According to the study by QVC, 54 per cent of women prefer Catherine's all-natural appeal compared to a glowing bronze tan or full face of make-up.

Daily Express fashion features editor Claire Brayford explained: "She wears minimal make-up, just a hint of eye-liner and nude lips. She didn't have a make-up artist for her wedding, preferring to do her own.

"Always impeccably groomed with her glossy tumbling curls, this is the princess/Hollywood aspect that makes her look more like a star. But overall hers is a classic, approachable beauty."
