Let’s play a quick game of “Who’s Taller?”. Prince Harry? He’s 6 feet 1 inch, so Catherine in heels can almost look him in the eye. Awkward family photos, anyone? (Just kidding, Harry—we love you.)
Meghan Markle is also about 5 feet 6 inches. So when the two women stand together, it’s like a fashion model convention. Catherine has a few inches on her, but Meghan’s got that Hollywood energy. It’s a tie in style, if not in stature.
But here’s the kicker: Charlotte, Catherine’s daughter, is already showing signs of being a tall one. At just nine years old, she’s practically skyscraper material. Spare a thought for William—he’s going to be surrounded by tall women forever. Poor bloke.
Why Do We Even Care? (Let’s Be Honest)
Is knowing Catherine’s height life-changing? No. Will it pay your bills? Definitely not. But it’s fun. It’s a little piece of trivia that makes you feel in on the secret. Like, “Oh, she’s 5’9” in stockings? Good to know.”
Plus, it helps us imagine what it’s like to be royalty. If I were 5’9”, I’d probably wear a tiara to the grocery store. Wouldn’t you? (Don’t lie.)

And let’s be real: Catherine’s height is part of her brand. She uses it to command attention without saying a word. When she walks into a room, she’s not just a princess—she’s a statuesque princess. That’s a power move.
