The Duchess of Cambridge is famed for her elegant looks, is never seen with a full face of make-up and often features in beauty polls.
But now the English Rose has won one of the highest accolades of all, beating Geordie Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole who is regularly praised for her looks, to be named the top UK natural beauty.
The survey asked over 1,000 British men and women for their opinions on celebrity ladies.
Kate came top of the poll and was followed by This Morning co-host Holly who often is seen tweeting pictures of herself make-up free.

'We hope women across the UK will follow their lead. By using St. Ives facial scrubs women across the country can reveal younger, fresher and healthier looking skin, which we hope will go some way to giving them! the confidence to strip back their make-up and embrace their natural beauty.'
