Think about the last time you stood next to someone who was six-foot-three. Maybe it was your cousin at a barbecue, or that friend from college who always blocked your view at concerts. When you stand next to them, you feel a little like a garden gnome beside a sunflower. William has that effect on almost everyone, including his own wife.
Kate Middleton is famously tall for a woman, standing at 5 feet 10 inches. That’s already impressive. But when they walk side-by-side, she still has to look up a little to meet his eyes. It’s a cute, everyday detail that makes them seem more like a real couple you’d see at the grocery store—albeit a very stylish, well-dressed grocery store.
How He Compares to the Rest of the Royals
If you’re a fan of family dynamics, this is where it gets fun. Prince Harry is often thought of as the shorter brother, but at 6 feet 1 inch, he’s only two inches behind. That means when they stand together, William has about a two-inch advantage. It’s like the difference between a large and an extra-large coffee—close, but noticeable.
Then there’s their father, King Charles III, who is about 5 feet 10 inches. So, when the three of them line up for a photo, it looks like a very polite, very royal set of stairs. William is the top step, and he’s been that way since his teenage years. He was already towering over his dad by the time he was sixteen.

And let’s not forget the late Queen Elizabeth II. She was famously petite at just 5 feet 4 inches in her later years. Next to her grandson, she looked like a tiny, determined bird next to a very tall oak tree. It’s a sweet image, and it reminds us that height really is just a number when you’re the Queen.
