Royalty and Celebrities Dominate Tatler's 2025 Social Power Index!
Social Power Index: The Elite's Who's Who
In a world where power and prestige reign supreme, Tatler has revealed its coveted Social Power Index, showcasing the crème de la crème of UK society. And boy, is it a juicy list! From royalty to rockstars, models to moguls, these 100 movers and shakers are the ones to know.
At the top of the pile is none other than Prince William and his stylish wife Kate Middleton, cemented by her gradual return to public life following a cancer diagnosis. Their influence extends far beyond the palace walls, with passions for Aston Villa, nature, and tennis making them the ultimate power couple.
But it's not all about the royals; other aristocratic heavyweights like Maro Itoje and his wife Mimi, rugby union star turned poet-art aficionado-philanthropist extraordinaire, take the second spot. And then there's Dora Loewenstein, a powerhouse princess with a passion for mental wellbeing initiatives.
The Beckhams, those iconic celebrity powerhouses, also make an appearance at number five. David and Victoria Beckham's jam-packed year included birthday parties galore, A-list friendships like Lionel Messi and Tom Cruise, and even a tell-all documentary about their lives. And to top it all off? Knighthood! Brand Beckham is truly unstoppable.
Of course, no list would be complete without the inimitable Sir David Attenborough, national treasure and documentarian extraordinaire. His latest film on the natural world has just hit screens, solidifying his spot at number six. Joining him is actor Dominic West, 55, and his wife Catherine Fitzgerald, a landscape design sensation.
And let's not forget Health Secretary Wes Streeting and his partner Joe Dancey, who take the eighth spot for their sheer influence in British politics. Some say he should have been Prime Minister – we can't help but wonder what could have been!
At number nine are Lord and Lady Bamford, 79-year-old icons of impeccable hosting skills. Their reputation precedes them, as does their impressive wealth, with Lord Bamford being knighted in 1990 and making the Sunday Times Rich List multiple times.
Rounding out the top ten is the "acting power couple of the moment," Marisa Abela and her fiancé Jamie Bogyo. The Industry actress, 27, won Leading Actress at the BAFTA TV Awards in May, and she's already confirmed a fourth season of the hit show!
So, who are these social powerhouses? Who gets the platinum invitation to David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations? And what secrets lie behind the doors of Kensington and Cotswolds soirées?
Find out all the juicy details in the August issue of Tatler, available via digital download and on newsstands from Thursday, July 3rd.
