If you had to pick, would you go with the stunning aristocrat or the Oscar-winning beauty?


5. Family ties


A big part of being royal is being a stickler for tradition. In celebrations and public occasions, one can see plainly all the rules and procedure of being part of the monarchy. Slowly but surely, the palace has opened its doors-at least a crack-and allowed and even celebrated the entrance of non-royals such as Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge.


Still, one gets the sense that the right family can get you a long way in the royal family. The elite circle of the aristocrats is a tight one and although there are exceptions, it is often exclusive to those born in the club. Cressida Bonas, daughter of 60s It Girl Lady Mary-Gaye Georgiana Lorna Curzon, sister of Prince William’s former flame Isabella Calthorpe-Branson and good friend of Princess Eugenie, practically has a foot inside the palace already with all her close ties to the royal family.
