   >> kind, isn't she?

   >> and pretty.

   >> reporter: that always seems to be the expectation, doesn't it? this website wasn't bashfulle about full on ranking the fairest of them all. number one, grace of monaco, simply the pinnacle of princessdom. there is irania of jordan, often hailed for outspokenness, now on youtube and twitter and third, fair kate. not even a princess yet, but just edging out diana, the people's princess. maybe the 80s shoulder pads aren't dazzling online voters, or is it something far more magical?

   >> but she's very much loved when she goes around. she's absolutely straightforward.

   >> reporter: when you say let's find out what's all about the fabulous lives of princesses you tend to find a lot of stress and relationship issues. no, being one of the most beautiful princesses on the planet doesn't make you immune, but that's always what a 5-year-old in a tiara thinks about, matt.
