Pippa Middleton

Pippa Middleton

Pippa Middleton has been voted Auntie of the Year.

The 30-year-old beauty, whose nephew is third-in-line to the British throne, Prince George, has topped a survey to find the best auntie, beating the likes of Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham and Beyonce.

Pippa earned 25 per cent of the vote as pollsters felt she would be able to help the little prince stay grounded as he grows older.

One respondent said: "I think Pippa makes a really fun auntie and I'm sure she'd be able to offer some solid advice to George when he grows up, as there is a lot of pressure that comes with being the future king."

520 people took part in the survey, commissioned by Wrappler, which also praised Kim, 33, for being a great aunt to her sister Kourtney's children, Mason and Penelope. The glamorous reality TV star came in second place in the poll with 20 per cent of the vote.

Fellow Kardashian, Khloe, ranked in eighth place for her devotion to Mason, Penelope and Kim's 13-month-old daughter North West.

Victoria Beckham - who has four children of her own - came in third place and was hailed as a cool, fashionable aunt to sister Louise Adams' daughter.

A Wrappler spokesperson said: "I bet even Prince George gets bored of being a little prince every once in a while, and so I'm sure that having an un-royal auntie will be a great blessing when he grows up.

"As for the others, Kim Kardashian has been showing off her maternal side ever since North West was born, and I'm sure she'd make a great auntie to her sister Kourtney's two children."

Pop stars Rihanna, Cheryl Cole and Kylie Minogue also made the list.
