As arguably the most photographed family in the world, royal fans alike would recognise their favourite members of the British royal family under any circumstance.

But despite what one thinks they know about the physical appearance of their favourite royals, one thing that may come as a surprise is how tall they are.

The late Queen Elizabeth II was famed for her petite stature, and Princess Kate for her model-like height, but a number of these royal heights may surprise you.

Keep scrolling as we reveal who the tallest members of the British royal family are, and how they measure up to their family members…

Prince William 6’3″

The future King of England, Prince William, is the tallest member of the royal family and will be the second tallest King in 300 years. The tallest British monarch was Edward IV at 6 ft 4½ in (194cm). When suited and booted in armour, the King would have stood at roughly 6 ft 7 in.

However, Prince William may not be in the top spot for long, as his eldest son, Prince George, appears to have inherited William’s whopping height.
