Here's my list ranking the Queens and Princesses by "warmth and engagement index"!!!
Max and Marie tie at the top for me on 95%
Then Mette Marit and Margarethe are tied on 75%
QEII 70%
Then Princess Anne on 65%
Then quite a long gap!
Kate and Leti 50%
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie 30%
Mary and Princess Pushy are tied at 15% (which I think is quite generous)

Hoefia of Sweden, Claire of Luxembourg, MM, Marie-Chantal, Kate Middleton, Silvia of Sweden (sometimes), Margrethe of DK

I am only going to rate those with whom I have had a personal contact - been in the crowd and close enough to see them operate - so not relying on limited video footage or still photos.
1. QEII - wins hands down for personal engagement with every person she came into contact with on the three days I have seen in her person
2. Camilla - great connection to the people in the crowd - stayed longer than she was supposed to do and had to be hurried but didn't do so so everyone had an equal chance to speak to her
3. Mary - not far behind for talking to the person as if they were the only person there
4. Anne - a bit stiff
5. Kate - better the second time than the first - or maybe better in the UK than in Australia - but very engaging with the people in the crowd - way more so than William who appeared stiff on the three times I have seen him up close and personal
Haven't seen any others in person so won't comment on them.

And how do you know that neither of the previous commentators haven't seen these people in person? Does lack of access to real life sightings negate the viewpoints of the others? It certainly doesn't make any opinion stronger or more valid, as said opinions are just that-opinions, and cannot be quantified due to their nature. For example, I've not seen Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, or Saddam Hussein in real life, but that doesn't mean I do not and cannot hold an opinion of them. This seems like a rather rude and dismissive qualifier to add to your opinion list, IMO. |

Great list! I forgot all about Vikkan. She'd be third on the list for me as well ... |

I don't see why not. They're also part of the family.  I wouldn't mind having a drinkie or two with Princess Margaret.  |

No her ashes were placed in the Crypt with her parents.
I loved Princess Margaret. I met her once. She had a truly appalling dress, smoked and drank and laughed at filthy jokes.

I like her even more.  Rosella-obviously, before her death. Although, she's probably quite picked. |
