    Prince William 6'3"

    The future King of England , Prince William , is the tallest member of the royal family and will be the second tallest King in 300 years. The tallest British monarch was Edward IV at 6 ft 4½ in (194cm). When suited and booted in armour, the King would have stood at roughly 6 ft 7 in.

    However, Prince William may not be in the top spot for long, as his eldest son, Prince George , appears to have inherited William's whopping height.
