How tall are the Royals? Prince Philip, the Queen, Harry, and more
All eyes are on the Royal Family today as they say their final goodbyes to Prince Philip.
The Queen will be joined by the likes of Prince Charles, Prince Harry, and Prince William as she pays her respects to her late husband who passed away on Friday, April 9, aged 99.
Today’s ceremony takes place today at 3pm in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
Due to coronavirus measures, only 30 people are able to attend the service with Prime Minister Boris Johnson giving up his seat in order for a member of the royal family to attend.
Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle won’t be in attendance after she was advised against making the trip to the UK from the US while heavily pregnant.
Members of the royal family are often pictured together but who measures up as the shortest and tallest?
How tall are the Royals?
While the Queen holds the most power in the royal family she certainly isn’t the tallest, standing at 5’3“ according to estimates.
Prince Philip towered over his wife and was thought to be 6ft.
Princess Anne, the only daughter of the Queen and Prince Philip, is understood to be of a similar height to her mother, standing at 5’6″.
Prince Andrew and Prince Edward follow in their father’s footsteps at the 6ft mark while their sibling Prince Charles is understood to be slightly shorter at 5’10″.
Prince Charles’ wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is said to be around 5’8″ tall.

Harry is thought to stand at 6’1“ with his wife Meghan around 5’6″.
William’s wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge is thought to be around 5’9″, making her one of the tallest of the royal women.
