Kate Middleton, Prince William Named Most Inspiring Couple of 2013

Kate Middleton and Prince William have been named 2013's most inspiring couple, besting Hollywood royalty, more actual royalty and even fictional characters.

According to a new poll of several thousand UK residents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge topped the list, which also includes his dad and grandma.


"It's the first time we have seen three generations of royal couples make the top ten list of most inspiring couples," said Travelodge, which conducted the survey.

Following William and Kate Middleton came David and Victoria Beckham, with Jay-Z and Beyonce, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie also appearing on it.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart also made the poll's top ten ... in the guise of their Twilight vampire alter egos, Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.

Edward and Bella couldn't beat Romeo and Juliet, though. Maybe in a few more centuries, the legend of Robsten will reach Shakesperean proportions.

The full top ten list of inspirational couples:

Prince William & Kate Middleton
David & Victoria Beckham
The Queen & HRH Prince Philip
Jay-Z & Beyonce
Romeo and Juliet
Barack & Michelle Obama
Brad & Angelina
Edward & Bella from 'Twilight'
Prince Charles & The Duchess of Cornwall
Steven & Alex Gerrard
Congrats to the beloved royals. Their love really is inspirational. Nice to see them make news for reasons other than Kate Middleton bikini photos.
