Nobody puts Baby in a corner! Princess Charlotte tops Tatler’s Most Influential People list

Proving you don't even need to walk or talk to be make a mark, Princess Charlotte has crawled her way to the top of Tatler's People Who Matter list.

She may only be eight months old, but that hasn’t stopped Princess Charlotte from beating her Great Granny and the rest of the Royal Family royal family in Tatler’s annual round-up of influential movers and shakers.

The Princess was voted as the list’s ruler with her mother The Duchess of Cambridge placing second, her father Prince William coming third and her older brother Prince George in fourth place.

There are clearly no hard feelings about the list!

If that wasn’t surprising enough, baby Charlotte even beat the ruler of the British Monarchy Queen Elizabeth, who came in at fifth place, despite being described as “everyone’s favourite monarch” by Tatler.

The list’s delegation, which sources say have left some people scratching their heads, is driven by who the world is “talking about today and is likely to be talking about tomorrow.”

Princess Charlotte, similar to her big brother Prince George, made what Tatler described as quite the “spectacular entrance” into the world, hence her top spot.

They go on to say: “The gorgeous little bundle of joy has already won us over even though we know very little about her yet, other than the important fact that she is fourth in line to the throne.”

The rest of the round-up includes an array of royals such as Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer who is ranked sixth, followed by sisters Lady Violet Manners, Lady Alice Manners and Lady Eliza Manners.

It may seem odd that Prince Harry’s name is yet to be mentioned. The notorious royal rascal just scraped into the top 20 at number 17, behind the likes of Richard Branson’s daughter Holly and Sir Mick Jagger’s second-eldest daughter Lizzy.

Queen Elizabeth might be the longest-serving monarch but her great-granddaughter has already beaten her in Tatler‘s annual round-up.

They also preach Harry’s single status, sending out a word of warning to all “pretty blondes.”

Aside from the monarchy, the list has also includes acting royalty such as Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne and Oscar nominee Felicity Jones.

Tatler keep their cards close to their chest when discussing what factors are taken into account when ranking candidates, instead putting the onus on the reader.

Perhaps the fact Princess Charlotte is reportedly worth £3.197 billion, or $AUD 7 billion, to the British economy may have helped!

Prince Harry made it to the 17th spot on Tatler’s list of “people who really matter.”
