this is what European royalty measures

Some names like Letizia, Kate Middleton or Meghan Markle – when she was still part of the British royal family – have been boisterous lately, not only for having found a place in the Palace, but also for its style lessons and its proximity to the population. Likewise, their husbands, such as King Philip, Prince William or his brother Harry, have also been featured on various occasions today. The first for his official commitments and the relationship with his father, the second for his kind character and the third for having broken all ties with his family and his royalty. And it is that, although all royal members have practically the same status, with a life of luxury and a very busy agenda, the truth is that physically many things distinguish them – and we are not referring to the red hair color of Lady Di’s son – but rather to his weight and height. An unknown factor to which every Palacio fan draws a lot of attention.

King Philip

The King of Spain occupies the first place in the ranking in terms of height. With 1.97 meters, can boast of being the tallest member of the European royal family.

Prince Guillermo

With 1.91 meters behind him, Kate Middleton’s husband is in second place on the list, with only six centimeters apart from Queen Letizia’s husband. And it is that his height has never gone unnoticed, surpassing even his father and grandfather.

Prince Harry

Although taller than his wife, Lady Di’s younger son was unable to outdo his older brother. With 1.86 meters high, Harry completes the podium.

Philip of Edinburgh

The already mentioned husband of Isabella II, with a fourth position, came to measure 1.83 meters before he died, surpassing the Queen of England by 20 centimeters.

William of Holland

The ruler of the Netherlands, with 1.83 meters, got a draw with the Duke of Edinburgh.

Prince Charles

Only with 1.78 meters high, Charles of England was overtaken by his two sons, Harry and William, as well as by Queen Margaret of Denmark and Mette-Marit.

Mette-Marit of Norway

At the top of the ranking of European royal women, the crown princess managed to be the first woman to exceed eighty meters, specifically 1.82two inches more than her husband, Haakon from Norway.

Margaret of Denmark

The last woman to reach that height was the Queen of Denmark, with 1.80 exact meters.

Kate Middleton

With 1.75 meters, the Duchess of Cambridge has strayed from the podium of the lowest royals, although the 16 centimeter difference with her husband made her height a much discussed topic.

Camilla of Cornwall

Two inches shorter than Prince William’s wife is Prince Charles’s wife, who she managed to catch up 1.73 meter.

Eugenie of York

Rated as one of the smallest royals, Prince Andrew’s second daughter and Sarah Ferguson measure up 1.65 meters, two centimeters shorter than her grandmother and three more than her sister Beatriz.

Queen Letizia

without reaching 1.70 meters, the queen is one of the shortest royal women, although she is slightly above the average in terms of height for women in Spain.

Meghan Markle

The same thing happens to the Dukes of Sussex as to the Dukes of Cambridge, that the difference between men and women is so great that the latter seems very short. So, Meghan measures 1.68 meters, 18 centimeters shorter than Prince Harry.

Isabella II

And, to conclude the list, the Queen of England took the last position, with solo 1.63 meters. And it is that the most important name of royalty and the longest-lived queen of her, despite the height she gains with her characteristic hats, has managed to be the shortest royal.

As for the weight of the royals, the truth is that it is a question that is not usually asked or usually transcends in the media when it is considered unpleasant in some countries. However, the British royal family has no problem making it known small committeeThey even created a Christmas tradition that consists of noting your weight before and after the start of the holiday season, where food becomes the absolute protagonist. Apparently, it is a ritual started with King Edward VII -great grandfather of Queen Elizabeth- with the aim of making his guests eat well. However that may be, it will remain a private matter that will be kept forever in the most remote corners of the Palace.
