His mother may be considered the trendsetter of the family, but Prince George has swiped her style crown and been voted the best-dressed member of the Royal Family.

The 11-month-old beat the Duchess of Cambridge and his great-grandmother The Queen to take the top spot in the poll.

George’s father Prince William came seventh in the online survey of 600 people.

Trendsetter: With sales of George's outfits skyrocketing, it is no wonder he has been voted best-dressed royal

Ironically it is the Duchess of Cambridge who causes dresses to sell out whenever she is seen in public with them.

 

Yet her son has pipped her to the post, with 23 per cent of the vote.

The Duchess came in second with 21 per cent, followed by The Queen on 18 per cent.

They were followed by Princess Beatrice and Prince Harry, who came fourth and fifth respectively, with the Countess of Wessex and Prince William in sixth and seventh places.

Influential: So popular are Prince George's outfits, that whatever he wears sells out within hours, which retailers have dubbed 'the George effect'

Rounding out the top ten were Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Phillips.

The poll was carried out by My1stYears.com, a baby website.

It's not the first time that Prince George's style has been given the seal of approval. Trend-setters have praised his wardrobe for months and sales of his original outfits - and cheaper versions - have surged on the high street.

Retailers have dubbed it ‘the George effect’.

The red-and-white stripy dungarees he wore at the weekend to his father’s polo match, which cost £33.99 from Spanish childrenswear brand Neck & Neck, have already sold out.

A similar pair in blue from French brand Petit Bateau (£39.50) were snapped up, too.

The young prince arrived at Sydney airport in April wearing a romper suit decorated with sailing boats, £55 from Les Petites Abeilles. A budget version of the romper suit is available from mafanakids.co.uk, priced £21. Both sailed off the shelves.

It's no surprise that his mother Kate came in a close second. The Duchess' style is also admired the world over.

She is consistently praised for championing British designers such as Alexander McQueen, Alice Temperley, and Matthew Williamson, as well as high street brands Zara and Reiss.

As for the Queen, her love of bright, block colours, pearl accessories, plaid skirts and embellished hats has made her a style icon.

She has the fashion world's seal of approval, so much so that Dolce & Gabbana created an entire collection inspired by her signature looks and Donatella Versace described her as 'couture personified'.

I wonder if Kate has ever heard of Topshop... She dresses older than my grandmother! Surely she can't be happy in half the things she 'has' to wear! She looks 40!

Unfortunately, that will not last. As soon as he understands language, his family will be telling him, you are going to be a Prince one day! YOU are special! You might even be KING one day! This just shows what a ridiculous system it is. We should CHOOSE our hHead of State by popular demand. Even if a Windsor stood for election and won the vote, s / he should only be allowed to stay in power for a specificed number of years e.g. 10 years.

I really doubt that she will be jealous of her son getting the 'title'
