Her Majesty The Queen has been ranked first as the ‘most distinguished’ Royal, with her grandson The Duke of Cambridge in fourth place, after their ‘CV’s’ have been compiled.
Royal Vegas has considered factors such as reign length, net worth, education, palace size, social media followers and even their Google search rankings, to score Royals from across the globe. It is our 94-year-old Queen who takes the highest score.

The study estimates The Queen’s net worth to be $530 million, while Prince Albert of Monaco – who ranks second – is thought to the $1 billion.
Elizabeth’s time in the ATS during World War Two also adds to her points for military service, and the 4.1 million Twitter followers tops the charts amongst her royal colleagues and family members!
Royals were assigned a numerical rank based on maximum and minimum performance in each category. These ranks were then used to power the interactive tool accordingly.
