Prince Harry's height compared to Meghan Markle

Prince Harry, standing tall at 6 ft 2 in, towers over his wife Meghan Markle, who is just 5 ft 6 in (167 cm). The Duchess of Sussex's relatively shorter stature may indeed be attributed to her mother, Doria Ragland, who is also of a smaller build.

The disparity between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's heights has given rise to curiosity about where their son Archie will fall on the height scale.
