(CBS) Fourteen years after her death, Princess Diana remains Britain's favorite royal.

Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, who married Prince William in a globally televised ceremony in April, is seventh on the list. She is behind Henry VIII, Queen Victoria and Prince Harry.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who is married to Diana's ex-husband, the Prince of Wales, is in last place.

Diana, her boyfriend Dodi al-Fayed and their driver Henri Paul, died in a car accident 14 years ago today in a Paris tunnel. The two men were pronounced dead at the scene, but Diana, then 36, was taken to a hospital, where she died a short while later.

She is buried in Althorp, the Spencer family estate.
