00:00 Before becoming a king and being married to Queen Camilla, Charles was in a relationship
00:05 with the late Princess Diana until 1996, when their divorce finalized.
00:11 The couple married in 1981 and ended up separating in 1992 after Charles was unfaithful with
00:18 the now Queen Camilla.
00:20 There are some pictures of the two where you can see Prince Charles notably taller than
00:23 Princess Diana but in reality, they were both the same height, approximately 178 cm, roughly
00:30 5 feet 9 inches.
00:33 In this picture, for example, the prince probably stood on a higher step of the stairs they
00:38 were standing on.
00:40 While in other pictures he could have used the terrain.
00:44 Some have speculated on whether the royals did this to make Charles look taller than
00:48 Diana.
00:50 According to Mirror, Dr. Lisa Wade suggested, "This effort to make Charles appear taller
00:56 is a social commitment to the idea that men are taller and women shorter."
01:01 Although this has not been confirmed as the official reason behind many of these pictures.
01:07 For her part, Princess Diana always tried to wear flat shoes or short heels to not surpass
01:12 her husband's height.
