Is THIS how Meghan Markle wowed Prince Harry? Star’s eyes are voted ‘the most alluring’ – but who else is in top 10?
THEIR'S is a romance that has captured the hearts of us all.
A modern day fairytale, Prince Harry sweeping actress Meghan Markle off her feet.
But, a new survey suggests it might have been the Suits star's sparkle that attracted the Prince, who is fifth in line to the British throne.
The 35-year-old's smouldering brown eyes have been voted the most alluring, according to one facial cosmetic surgeon.
The poll, carried out by Dr Julian De Silva, reveals Megan Fox's piercing bluey green eyes came in second place, while the Duchess of Cambridge's emerald green eyes came third.
In fourth place was Angelina Jolie (bluey green) and in fifth place was Jennifer Aniston, who naturally has blue eyes but often uses coloured lenses to change her eye colour, Dr De Silva said.
David Beckham was the only man to make the top ten - his gorgeous hazel eyes coming in sixth.
In seventh place was Jennifer Lopez with her amber eyes and in eighth place was Claire Danes from Homeland - the only celebrity with grey eyes in the top ten.
Beyonce's pale brown eyes were ninth and tenth place went to Keira Knightley, who has darker brown eyes.

Dr De Silva said there has been a 12 per cent rise in the number of blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) operations in the last year as more women seek bag-free eyes like their favourite stars.
Dr De Silva from the , West London, said:
"Meghan's gorgeous brown eyes really stand out.

Dr De Silva said the blepharoplasty was the most popular form of facial cosmetic surgery because the right procedure can make a patient look at least five years younger.
He said: "Dark circles around the eyes and saggy, overhanging eyelid skin and eyelid bags can age you more quickly than virtually any other facial flaw.
"They are all easily removed, transforming a patient's appearance."
Here Dr De Silva explains our different eye colours by analysing the top ten celebrities with the most alluring eyes.
1. Meghan Markle - brown eyes
Dr Julian De Silva said: "Meghan has brown eyes like 34 per cent of the population in the UK.
"What makes her eyes so striking is how warm and welcoming they are.
"Brown eyes result from a relatively high concentration of melanin in the stroma of the iris, which causes light of both shorter and longer wavelengths to be absorbed.
"Around 55 per cent of the world's population have brown eyes, particularly in Asia and Africa. It is less common in cooler climates including the UK."
2. Megan Fox - bluey green
Dr De Silva said: "Megan's eyes are a gorgeous mixture of blue and green.
"Blue is by far the most common eye colour in the UK with 42 per cent of people having blue eyes.
"Genetics is the most common determinant of eye colour - you often have the same eye colour as your parents.
";Megan has dazzling blue eyes - the kind that stay in the memory for a long time.
"Blue eyes are like the default setting - many babies' eyes start blue and then become hazel or brown during infancy.
"Blue eyes have a lower concentrations of melanin in the stroma of the iris."

"She is also completely bag free which is unusual in a woman of 41."
5. Jennifer Aniston - natural blue eyes
Dr De Silva said: "Jennifer's eye colour often changes in pictures - from brown to blue to pale green.
"It suggests she is maybe using coloured contact lenses to change her eye colour.
"It's great way to create a new look for yourself.
"Like Angelina she is completely bag and line free around her eyes - remarkable for a woman of 47."
6. David Beckham - hazel eyes
Dr De Silva said: "It is great to see a man in the top ten and Beckham's hazel eyes really stand out.

Dr De Silva said: "Amber eyes like J-Lo's are fairly unusual.
"Many animals such as dogs, cats and birds have hazel eyes, but they are far less common in humans."

"Clare sometimes varies the colour to grey with a green tinge with lenses."
9. Beyonce - pale brown eyes
Dr De Silva said: "Beyonce has gorgeous pale brown eyes. Dark brown eyes have more melanin and lighter brown eyes have less.
