"My guiding principles in life are, to be honest, genuine, thoughtful, and caring."
~ Prince William
A prominent member of the British royal family, Prince William -- Duke of Cambridge is the elder son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales, which makes him second in the line of succession to the British throne.
Prince William is tall -- in fact, he is the tallest member of the British royal family. His height comes from his mother Princess Diana who was 5-feet-10 inches tall.
Now many websites on the internet (including Google and the British royal family's official website) describe Prince William as 6-feet-3 inches tall. After observing Prince William with some tall people like Barack Obama (6'1¼") or Chris Hemsworth (6'3"), we have no doubt that Prince William is really that tall.
His younger brother Prince Harry is a bit shorter at 6-feet-1¼ inches tall, though still tall enough to stand out in a crowd.
Prince William's wife Kate Middleton also happens to be tall at 5-feet-9 inches, though his sister-in-law Meghan Markle is a bit shorter at 5-feet-5 inches.
Queen Elizabeth was 5-feet-4 inches tall in her prime though she is a lot shorter now due to her advanced age and the usual wear and tear that comes along with it.
The height of Prince William is
6'3" or 190.5 cm
