It's quite easy to picture royalty as these grand gods and goddesses who tower over us mere mortals, but as it turns out, many have quite a relatable height, and it's more than likely that you'd be the taller one for any royal encounter.
While some of the royal men can tower over people, Prince William is an incredible 6'3, the royal ladies are more known for their petite frame. But when it comes to members of the royal families across Europe, who takes the crown on this occasion? Could it be Monaco's Princess Charlene, who was a former Olympic swimmer, or King Felipe of Spain?
Coming in at a towering 6'4, King Felipe is the tallest European monarch. The King of Spain has ruled the European nation since 2014, following the abdication of his father, King Juan Carlos.
Although a mighty 6'0, King Frederik of Denmark loses out to Felipe and Willem-Alexander by another sizeable margin. Frederik is the most recent European monarch, acceding to the throne earlier this year.
Queen Maxima is the tallest female royal on this list, and while like King Carl Gustaf Maxima is 5'8, she does stand a few centimetres shorter than the Swedish monarch.
