How tall is prince phillip duke of edinburgh?

Answer 1

I met Prince Philip in 2001 and he is shorter than me - I am 5ft 8in tall. I would guess he is indeed about 5ft 6in.

Answer 2

I would say 5'6" is right - might even be on the high side. He opened a new building at my university (Cardiff) in 1973 or 1974 and I was surprised at how short he was as he emerged from the royal car. I am 185cm (just under 6' 1") and he was far far shorter than me. You can 100% definitely forget anyone dreaming he is 5' 10" or more, he is not. I always assumed he was tall because next to the Queen he looks towering, but then she is tiny. Being slim and well-proportioned also helps him look in fine shape, but tall he isn't.
