Prince William will be first monarch in over 300 years with this unique physical trait
ok.co.ukAfter his father became King following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, Prince William is now first in line to the throne as he takes on more senior duties within the Royal Family.
And when he becomes King one day, the Prince of Wales will make history thanks to one specific trait of his. Measuring in at 6ft 3in, Prince William, 41, is known for his tall stature – a figure which will make him the second-tallest measured monarch in Britain’s history.
