1 Prince William, 27, future king
With all the best bits of his mother, William is a polo-playing, helicopter-flying Royal with a heart and a conscience. There's a time and place for being an ornament, he has said. He is choosing his charities carefully and so far shows no sign of wading into contentious political issues like his father. Less likely to be seen falling out of a nightclub than his brother, yet he still gets the highest paparazzi rating in our survey. According to party girl Jenny Frost, he is posh but not snotty. He's a charm.
2 Alexa Chung, 26, TV presenter
Chung has the career (she hosts her own critically acclaimed live MTV show from Times Square, New York), the image (she's just had a Mulberry bag named after her) and the rock-star boyfriend (Alex Turner of the equally young and talented Arctic Monkeys). But there's a lot more to come. Not least on MTV, where, according to Tony DiBari, MTV America's senior VP of production, they think she is witty, intelligent and seems to connect with our audience.
3 Kate Middleton, 27, girlfriend
Thanks to the will they, won't they? debate, Middleton is one of the most talked-about women in Britain. She has survived the shocking family revelations (Mum was an air hostess, uncle has an alleged coke habit), but sitting on the sidelines, without much of a career Middleton's most obvious forte so far seems to be her way with a wrap dress. She might have to get working on her CV, though. I just don't think she had the breeding, quite honestly, says Royal commentator James Whittaker of her chances. I'm not being snooty, I'm being factual.
4 Peaches Geldof, 20, socialite
Alongside numerous nightclub appearances, Geldof has penned a newspaper column, hosted TV shows, designed fashion ranges, taken to the catwalk, established herself as a DJ and edited her own magazine. The daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates is, according to Michelle Mone, who has just signed her as the face of her Miss Ultimo bra range, young and edgy, with lashings of style.
5 Tyrone Wood, 26, curator
As one half of Britain's most beautiful 'It' couples (his girlfriend is the model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), Woods' shock appearance in the top five is clearly down to his appetite for a scenery party and his dad, Rolling Stone Ronnie. Working for the family-owned Scream gallery, he is known for his laid-back attitude, and, according to Tatler (he came 76th in its 2009 Most Invited list), he's just as happy in the pub as on the celebrity circuit.
