Editor RobThere was a figure of 5ft 6.5 given somewhere, which sounded believable as a peak.

@ Arch - I was hardly in the mood for height observations on Monday, but nonetheless, we couldn’t exactly miss him, could we? 🤷♀️🤷♂️ ‘Insanely tall’ is how I’d have summed him up, too!

The Queen's guards all look very tall range to me, obviously the hats make them look nearer 7 ft but they look very tall walking compared to others. Did you see the Robert Wadlow looking guy walking in front of the funeral car, he looked about 7 ft, no hat but had an unusual lanky Crouch like frame.

🏥 Her Majesty the Queen, Elizabeth the Second, had her life celebrated today at her Westminster Abbey State Funeral. 🏥
She will be laid to rest after the Procession.
Such a sad occasion, a quotation from William Wordsworth’s poem ‘Excursion’ was read out towards the end. Then the National Anthem was sung, and for the last time, it was ‘God Save The Queen’.
RIP Your Majesty. 🕯💐✝️

Our Queen loved Scotland and everyone in Scotland loved their British Queen, she had so many happy times in Scotland and so did Prince Philip. She was about 5’3.75” at peak and Prince Philip was a solid 6 footer!

I cannot think of a better Royal to have grown up with.
Dear Elizabeth was 34 when I was born and extremely beautiful. What was more important was the example she set to us, morality-wise, and her great faith in God.
I wasn’t brought up in a family of Royal supporters, but I became this way by observing the Queen’s strength and ongoing resilience. My German Mum liked her too and never missed the Queen’s Christmas Speech.
Elizabeth never lost her beauty. She led an exemplary life, and I think that contributed to her seeing us through every situation we were up against. We always had her to rely on. She helped us through everything.
I watched a programme this evening and saw an elderly lady sign a book dedicated to the Queen in which she wrote, “Simply the best”.
I echo that sentiment.

Rob, do you think the Queen could have shrunk a bit more as of late?
There’s been talk online about how small she looks next to Liz Truss (Click Here)
Truss herself doesn’t exactly appear towering (based on here appearing slightly taller than Sunak in small-to-moderate heels at the hustings events, I’d guess she’s no taller than 5’6” or so), yet I’d say the height difference here looks at least half a foot, and that’s even with the Queen wearing a small heel.
What are your thoughts?
Also, will Liz Truss receive a page now she has been ushered in as the new PM?

Editor RobProbably now near 5ft flat, but given she's 96 that 3-4 inch shrinkage is common.
You can see her in a heel with Justin Trudeau, I think near 5ft 5 is possible.

Liz Truss looked about the same height as the apparently 5ft 6 Rishi Sunak during their leadership campaign alebit she needed heels for them to seem equal. When she 'kissed hands' on becoming UK PM she was photographed towering about the Queen. There might be quirks in the angle of the photo but is the Queen now 4ft 11 or even 4ft 10 in her 97th year ?

She looked rather different in the Christmas Day broadcast I thought, like her face had been Mick Jaggered. Much longer and thinner than previous years and voicer a little deeper. You compare it to 2018 and 2015 and tell me what you think! Brooch was on the opposite side than normal. She looked tinier than unusual at Philip's funeral, very stooped and wearing a mask. Peak I think about 5 ft 4, just under is believable.

Now in her 90s I'd say that she's 5'0 tops. Earlier this year she met with President Biden and he absolutely towered above her. He's a bit under 6'0. His wife was significantly taller than her majesty also.

I doubt 9th April was Philip's real death date, he was 99, 9th of the month and on the 66th day of the year. Anybody who knows anything about the Illuminati knows the significance of that!

I found one picture of Queen Elizabeth next to Joan Collins from 1968: Click Here
I'm inclined to believe that they both wore heels although it's hard to say how big. Then Queen Elizabeth was 42 years old and Joan was 35 so they both were in their prime. I wouldn't rule out that Joan may have had 5ft 4.5 or 5ft 4.25 but I can't judge the height difference in this picture between them. Rob, your thoughts?

Editor RobJoan was likely taller, but then she also claimed 5ft 5 and 6 at one point, which seems unlikely. A strong 5ft 4 is about the most I'd give her, the Queen would be at peak then and I could see her over 5ft 3 for sure.

I was selected to be one of the staff in attendance when Queen Elizabeth visited Guys hospital some 16 years ago. I had to stand in the corridor as she passed by, probably 2 feet away . I was particularly struck by how small she was . Significantly shorter than me at 5ft 2 inches , and she was wearing heels and a hat . I would estimate her height at under five foot then .

H.M. The Queen''s height is given on her A .T .S identity record, which would have been when she was about 18 years old, as exactly 5.0 ft., So it seems that stories of her height, are greatly exaggerated.

A 6 inch height loss even in 90's is an exaggeration. Some of it is posture related rather than the discs compressing.

I think no more than 5.0 now, maybe even shorter, also Kylie Minogue in some pictures beside her looks clearly taller.
In other pics you can see Thandie Newton (who is supposed to be 5.3') towering over the queen with some 20 cm height difference (of course Thandie wears high heels..)

My mam and dad met the queen on three occasions and bothe said that the queen was the same height as my mam. And my dad was bigger than Prince Philip. My mam and dad are dead now but my mam was only five feet tall and my dad was five feet ten inches. We have photos that bear this out.

@ Editor Rob: My mother wasn't including the height of the Queen's heels, when she said the Queen only looked 5 feet, 2 inches tall. 😊

Her Majesty's height was officially given as 5 feet, 4 inches, but my mother saw her in real life as a young woman and said she looked no taller than 5 feet, 2 inches, although the Queen wore high heels in those days, no shorter than two inches. The heels have got shorter. It wouldn't do for a woman of her age to wear very high heels. 👑👜👠

Rob Google pics of a 'young queen mother'
Do you think she looks uncannily like American actress Jennifer Connoly when she was very young?

Editor Rob James, I don't quite see any strong resemblance.

She is probably 155-157 cm tall. Peak height was 162-163 cm. In quite a few pictures she looks around 30 cm shorter than William. He's around 190 cm, 193 with shoes on. She would then be about 163 with shoes on. Considering her shoes increase her height by 5-6 cm she would be just over 157 cm. On the other hand some studies show that women over age 80 have lost nearly 8 cm from their peak height. This would mean she is 155 cm tall.

Editor Rob Nik, both might be close to 5ft 9....I think big Philip has lost 3 inches by now.

I say about 5'3" for her peak height and 5'0" for her present height. There should be a prince phillip height page in this wed site. I don't know why there is not.

I'd put her at just under 5'1" today, and right at 5'4" at her peak. She doesn't appear short in old photos. For Philip, I'd say he was slightly under if not right at 6'1" (185-186) peak, and around 5'9" today. Charles looks slightly taller than him now, but unlike Philip, he is a frequent lift-wearer, so they are probably around the same height barefoot.

Prince Philip could've been 184-185 peak if Elizabeth was 162 peak. She typically came up to his mouth, but likely in heels.

I distinctly remember a detailed article about Her Majesty from back in the mid to late 70's in which the Queen's height was written up as 5ft4.5, with the additional comment that it is 'the average height for the British woman!'
Yet having said that, my boyfriend, an ex-soldier, has met the Queen on a number of occasions and says she is 'tiny, with a crackin' sense of humour.'
So what her optimum height was is a bit of a mystery to me, but her Mother and sister were both smaller than her, so I think it unlikely that Her Majesty has ever been average height just because it was written in a newspaper!
I shall settle for 5ft4 peak height and 5ft1 today!

Give Rob a break, Rampage. There are plenty of other famous celebrities he has not added yet. And Queen Elizabeth isn't technically even a celebrity really.
