Royal altitude

Is Prince Charles that much shorter than Prince William, or do you think William is standing on a podium? This is William getting his pilot's wings.

Sorry I can't get the photo to display here, so use this link:

Charles is 5' 11"
William is 6' 3".

Thank you, Damian. I should have thought to google their vital statistics. I am hoping that Charles really is 5'11" and that that number isn't inflated for his ego, and that he, being my age, isn't already shrinking. William must have been closer to the photographer or on a riser of some sort.

The angle the shot is taken at will have emphasised the difference.
