You have to wonder: does his height ever cause royal protocol issues? Imagine him next to Queen Elizabeth II, who was famously 5’4”. They’d look like a human exclamation point in those official portraits. He probably had to lean down just to whisper a funny joke to her during the Trooping the Colour ceremony.

And Meghan? She stands at about 5’6”. That means when they walk down the street, Harry looks like a gentle giraffe next to a fashionable fox. It’s a classic tall-man-short-woman silhouette that makes you think, “I bet he’s always the one grabbing the top shelf wine at the grocery store.”

Here’s the funny part: in Hollywood, 6’1” is considered tall, but not freakishly tall. Think of Tom Hardy (5’9”), who has to stand on a box for action scenes. Or Tom Cruise (5’7”), who would look like a hobbit next to Harry. Prince Harry is squarely in the “leading man” zone, but with a royal twist.
If he were 6’5”, we’d call him a demigod. At 6’1”, he’s just the nice, slightly lanky guy who looks good in a polo shirt but also trips over his own feet in a charity soccer game. It’s a very human height. You can imagine him hitting his head on a low-lying chandelier and muttering a very un-royal curse word under his breath.
