LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Meghan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex, stands at a height of 5 ft 7 in (170cm/1.7m).
Meghan has made a name for herself after quitting acting and marrying Prince Harry. People have often compared Meghan's height to that of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
Meghan Markle's height compared to Kate Middleton
According to Insider, Kate is taller than Meghan at 5 ft 9 in (175.26cm/ 1.75m). The difference in height between them is therefore 2 inches. Prince William is 6 ft 3 in (190.5cm/ 1.9m) and Harry is 6 ft 1 in (185.42cm/ 1.8m).
Some media outlets, however, asserted that Meghan was actually 5 ft 6 in (1.68m/168cm) tall, therefore, there is some confusion regarding her height. However, most tend to concur that Meghan is 5 ft 7 in tall.
Meghan is slightly taller than the average American woman, who is 5 ft 4 in (162.56 cm/ 1.6m) tall. In contrast, Harry is six inches taller than his wife, as per The List.
Markle often wears three to four-inch heels, so when the two appear together, their heights seem similar.
Who is the tallest royal?
The tallest member of the Royal family is William. According to reports, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward are both around 6 ft (182cm/1.82m) tall, per Metro.
Meghan Markle won’t ‘curtsy’ to Kate Middleton
Meghan will reportedly not go back to the UK because she does not want to "curtsy" to Kate, according to a royal biographer.
In 2020, the couple relocated to Montecito, California, after stepping down as senior members of the royal family.
"What, and have Meghan Markle curtsying to Kate Middleton?" stated royal biographer Andrew Morton, 70.
He added, "I don’t think so. I don’t see that as a runner. They’ve got their own lives in California," per the New York Post.
