Are they the same height?

Royal fans have been left wondering how tall Prince William is, as he appeared to look taller than US President Donald Trump, despite supposedly being the same height.

As President Trump’s second state visit to the UK began on Wednesday (September 17), many fans were shocked when seeing him in public with Prince William, 43.

But it was for an unexpected reason – their height difference. Until now, everyone believed that Donald Trump was the same height as the Prince of Wales.

Prince William appeared taller than Donald Trump

Donald Trump, 79, arrived in the UK for his historic second state visit this week. On Wednesday, Prince William and his wife Kate, Princess of Wales, were there to greet him and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, in Windsor.

The day was packed with engagements for them to do. But people online couldn’t help but notice the difference in Prince William and Donald Trump’s height.

While walking side-by-side it was clear Prince William was taller than Trump. But it’s not what many fans expected.

They took to X to debate how tall Prince William actually is.

One shared an image of the two men together, adding: “Both of these men claim to be 6’3. Is Prince William lying about his height? Is he actually 6’7?”

Another added: “Anyone else see the photo of Prince William standing next to Donald Trump. There is no way they are actually the same height.”

A third wrote: “Prince William is 6’3. Trump is exactly the same height as well, or so he’s claimed. Just saying.”

How tall is William?

In reality, it’s not that much of a shock that Prince William looks so tall. Because he actually is. He has even been deemed the tallest member of the royal family!

According to multiple outlets and Celebrity Heights, Prince William is reportedly around 6 foot 3 inches.

There have been a number of occasions recently where royal fans have got a glimpse at just how tall he is. And somehow, every time the realisation hits them, they are shocked again.

And in the last few months, fans have even noticed that William and Kate’s 12-year-old son, Prince George, is taking after him.

Meanwhile, the potus.com website states President Trump’s height also as 6 foot 3 inches.

But, in April 2025, as reported by the BBC, his White House physician, Captain Sean Barbabella, stated in records that the president stands at 6ft 2.5in tall.

So just a tad shorter!

What is Kate Middleton’s height?

But it wasn’t just William and Trump’s height that got people talking. Some noticed that Kate Middleton looked taller too.

“Is Kate Middleton really tall?” one fan asked on X.

According to reports, Princess Kate’s height sits at 5 foot 9 inches. So, no, Kate isn’t actually as tall as she may seem in photographs.

However, during most of her royal outings, the princess wears high heels. And so, those shoes would add on quite a bit, therefore, making her appear taller than she actually is.
