00:01The elegance of European royalty is not only measured by their distinction or protocol,
00:05but also for an imposing physical presence that often captured everyone's attention.
00:10Although data on the height of European monarchs is not notoriously public,
00:14Yes, we can find out who makes up the top podium.
00:18Want to know who the tallest kings and queens are? We'll tell you.
00:23At the top of the list is King Felipe VI at 1.97 meters.
00:27King Felipe is not only the tallest monarch in Europe, but in the entire world.
00:31In fact, he holds the certificate in the Guinness Book of Records that proves it.
00:36His height has never been a problem for the monarch, although it has led him to star in the occasional controversy.
00:41anecdote
00:41and it always makes him the tallest person in the photo,
00:44except when he has coincided with the players of the Spanish national basketball team.
00:49He is joined on the podium of the tallest kings by Hakon of Norway, who measures 1.93 meters.
00:54He thus surpassed his father, the recently deceased King Harald, who was 1.88 meters tall and in his time was the
01:00tallest king in Europe.
01:02King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands is very close behind, with a height of 1.89 meters.
01:07This figure makes sense, given that the Netherlands has the tallest average height in Europe, exceeding the
01:13one meter eighty in men.
01:13However, this great stature becomes more noticeable when the Dutch monarchs meet again with Emperors Naruto and
01:21Masako, who are great friends of theirs.
01:23There, the difference in scale in the status images is truly striking.
01:28Among the queens, Margaret of Denmark, at 1.82 meters, is the tallest.
01:33A detail that is known firsthand thanks to dressmakers and their personal designers,
01:37to whom they have occasionally detailed the large amount of fabric needed to make their suits.
01:42In second position, the Queen of the Netherlands stands out with her 1.78 meters.
01:48A physical characteristic that gives her a great presence and that her three daughters have also inherited.
01:53In fact, Amalia of the Netherlands is undoubtedly one of the tallest European princesses.
01:57Finally, and to close this ranking, Matilda of the Belgians.
02:01The monarch reaches 1.75 meters in height, which leads her to complete this podium of the tallest queens
02:06high in Europe.
02:08And did you know who the tallest kings and queens were?
02:13And did you know who the tallest kings and queens were?
02:16And you, did you know who the kings were, and even...?
