King Charles is said to be 1.70 m tall.
He was the same height as his first wife, Princess Diana, although, according to an article in The Society Pages, efforts were made to ensure that Charles appeared taller than Diana, to fit the idea that men should be taller than their wives. .
Professor Lisa Wade of Occidental College in Los Angeles wrote: “This effort to make Charles appear taller is a social compromise with the idea that men are taller and women shorter.
“When our own bodies and our chosen partners don’t follow this rule, we sometimes go to great lengths to preserve the illusion.
“When Charles and Diana posed formally together, however, they were usually arranged in a way to suggest that he was significantly taller than her, or at least to disguise the fact that he was not.”
Queen Camilla – 5 ft 8 in

Prince George left the country in awe when he was photographed returning to school with his family.
