Beatrice must definitely get her genes from her grandmother in this department, because both of her parents — Prince Andrew and Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson — are taller than she is. Eugenie stands an entire inch taller than her sister, Beatrice, which still makes her shorter than both her father and her mother. Her husband, Jack Brooksbank, is 5 inches taller, standing at 5' At her height, Meghan is significantly shorter than her husband, Prince Harry.

Of course, since the Queen is only 5'4, it's pretty clear where Anne got her height genes from. Zara Phillips, daughter of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, is exactly the same height as her mother. At least that doesn't make it awkward when the two pair up! Her height also goes well with one of her favorite hobbies, horseback riding. Although she's not related to the rest of the Windsors by blood, Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, definitely still measures up.

Princess Diana infamously made herself look shorter while posing with Prince Charles during their marriage, despite the two being the exact same height. The recently disgraced royal Prince Andrew clocks in at 6 feet even, just like his dad. Obviously, Andrew and Charles get their height from Philip's side of the family. Prince William and Prince Harry have both granddad Philip and their mom Diana's side of the family to thank for bringing the royals over the 6-foot mark.
