6’4”
Same as I.
Maybe a few inches taller even.

KNOWITALL's avatar

Six foot even.

@rebbel-6’4”?? How tall was Diana? When they were photographed together she was often shown holding him up, like a baby. True fact

rebbel's avatar

Diana was 7’3”

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@rebbel -Lmao! Without heels??

rebbel's avatar

Yes, but including tiara.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@rebbel -Ah!I forgot that! Knowing what you know about his height, how tall would you say Katy Perry is?
She’s standing in a hole in this example.

jca2's avatar

I’m guessing 5’10” or 11.

ucme's avatar

The wingspan of his ears is close to that of an albatross.
Height wise, he’s probably just under 6’

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -Oh albatross!
How tall is Katy Perry then?See pic in my comment to rebbel. Assume KP is wearing heels.

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille I was distracted from her height…forgive me!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme _Well restract yourself and answer that very important question,please.

SEKA's avatar

Both Charles & Di were/are 5’10”

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille She has 6” heels on & so probably weighs 5’ 13”...there, or thereabouts!

ucme's avatar

@SEKA Correction, Diana is officially 6 feet under!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -KP is 5’ 7”. I think Charles could use a sock as a sleeping bag.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Josie-I see you are “crafting” a response.
Are you really or are you just typing?

josie's avatar

In pictures, he is about the same height as Diana. She was tall for a woman, so I would say he would be, being well fed and healthy, a little above average for an Englishman. English soldiers are generally shorter than Americans, about 5’8 or 9, so I would put him at at 5’10 or 11.

josie's avatar

Yes, I was typing

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@josie -Thanks for clarifying.

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille A custom made sleeping bag with cut away holes for his flappy lugs.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme He doesn’t need the sock. He could wrap himself up in his ears and in spring, when he emerges from his cocoon, he’ll look just like his mother and take over the throne from there!

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Sounds like a tidy plan.

mazingerz88's avatar

Around 6ft?

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -They call it….METAMORPHOSIS!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@mazingerz88 -How high are Katy Perry’s heels?

mazingerz88's avatar

Just trying to recall his height compared to William who is really tall ( more than 6ft? ) :)

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille I prefer photosynthesis…trips off the tongue as smooth as silk.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme Say that six times fast while holding your tonque!

Inspired_2write's avatar

5’10”
Almost 6 feet tall.
Met him in 1980’s on the street as lady Diana and Prince Charles were doing a walk about among thousands of admiring fans.

close up he didn’t seem that tall as I was 5’7” standing near him.

His stage makeup was the most disappointing thing that I remember when close enough to notice the eye shadow and blush..I suppose for photographs in the media..this is standard?

But he was a nice and charming personality and very intelligent as I talked briefly with him.

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille I’m about to eat dinner & the wife is sat opposite me, she’s going for my golf umbrella :D

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Inspired_2write -2 inches do make a difference. Did you check for lifts in his shoes?? :D

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme – To protect from saliva, sword fight or jump from rooftops? Would you like some background music for your dining experience?

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme-Sure you would!
When she asks how dinner is,sing this while holding your tongue with the salad tongs.

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille I am impressed, but we had venison & so this song of their’s is more befitting I think.

Inspired_2write's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille & @ucme
Lol singing with marbles in there mouth?

ucme's avatar

Actually @lucillelucillelucille we had toasted scones.
I like mine done this way

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Inspired_2write -A beautiful noise, that must be!
@ucme -Because they’re not dry enough,right? I like to play golf with mine.

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille You like to slice your scones?
Hmmmm…kinky!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme I was proudly given one once and it was shockingly dry and tasteless.
That’s what I get for expecting a muffin. Maybe spreading it with wet cement would have improved it.
Scones make me mad.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -C’mon, argue! :)
I should apologize for making fun of the Official Rock of England.
I’m sorry.

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille You can’t make me so :P

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -Do they make scones from the dust of the white cliffs of dough-ver?
Do they??

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille I believe the original recipe came from Wi-scone-sin.
I made that shit up all by myself!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme-Well done! It took a lot of scahones to say that.

ucme's avatar

I’m outta here…

scone fishing

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

Not before I play the song that almost became our national anthem here in the US
They changed the lyrics from scone to home because it upset people to be reminded of those things before every sporting event.

Patty_Melt's avatar

Wondering what would be the thoughts of some new member visiting fluther for the first time.
I’m thinking they would back toward the door, and panic when they can’t find the knob.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Patty_Melt -It’d be scarier if they joined in singing, Take me scone….

Vinoveritas's avatar

I have met him several times and he is about the same height as my brother, which is 5 foot 8 inches. So your husband is correct. That was also the same height as Diana, Princess of Wales which is why she appeared taller than him in heels.

jca2's avatar

Diana was 5 foot 10, @Vinoveritas.

ragingloli's avatar

@jca2
And now she is minus 6

jca2's avatar

@ragingloli: What did Princess Diana learn on her wedding night?

Not all rulers are twelve inches.
