Princess Diana And Prince Charles' Height In Photos Explained

In an article on The Society Pages, Lisa Wade, an Associate Professor at Tulane University, explained why Prince Charles is often taller than his wife. According to her, it's more about "social commitment" and the expectations from the public.

"This effort to make Charles appear taller is a social commitment to the idea that men are taller and women shorter," she wrote. "When our own bodies, and our chosen mates, don’t follow this rule, sometimes we’ll go to great lengths to preserve the illusion."
