I think Sebastian looks more like Louis...all the children look alot similar :) but Louis and Sebastian seem to have inherited the fairer hair coloring...

Louis and Sebastien look alike. Guillaume and Felix used to look alot alike. Alex, well, I don't want to compare her to boys. I think that is kind of mean.

I would like to know if anyone knows Maria Teresa' high

gaggleofcrazypeople · #64 01-07-2005, 10:12 PM

Since your from the US and I'm sure you'll understand this, I'd say she is about 5'5".

Yeah, I would say that's about right. She doesn't look that tall, but certainly not short. 5'5'' is still taller than me. :(

5'5...how tall is that in metres...about 1.65m??? just abit taller than me >__< hahaha

msfroyste · #67 01-08-2005, 05:57 AM

i don't think she's 5'5. she looks to be more around 5'2, 5'3ish. she is petite and petite ppl are ppl that are normally shorter than 5'3. my aunt and grandmother are petite and they both look to share the same height as mt.

Yes, she has never appeared very tall (to me at least)

. I'd say 5'2/5'3 - that's about my height. In cm slightly over 160 cm, I think. Hurrah for short people!!!

Is 5'3 considered short? .....hehehehehe ...that's me as well and i always liked to think i was of 'average' height hahaha

msfroyste · #70 01-08-2005, 06:51 AM

average height for women in the US is between 5'4 and 5'5. i'm 5'7 and i'm significantly taller than my gran and aunt. i think their height adds to their cuteness factors.

KatieLouise · #71 01-08-2005, 07:00 AM

Gosh! You're significantly taller than me msfroyste... Hillary, it must be something in the Australian drinking water. How tall are you bad_barbarella? Anyhow, I've always thought MT never looked very tall - in pics she looks a fair bit shorter than Henri who I think, while reasonably tall, is probably not very tall. But I have no source on this so I could be very wrong!

hillary_nugent · #72 01-08-2005, 07:06 AM

hahahahaha....you're right katielouise! i bet our Aussie water has some height-retarding substance in it!!! I think because of MT's weight it makes her look short and stumpy...but looking back at the old pics when they just married and she was thinner she does look taller than now...

msfroyste · #73 01-08-2005, 07:14 AM

i remember seeing a pic- a WHILE ago- of henri and prince charles standing next to each other. if i recall correctly, they were around the same height. prince charles is 5'10 so i suppose that makes henri the same height, give or take a couple of inches. mt's significantly shorter than henri, so i'd put her probably around 5'2/5'3ish. you're right hillary_nugent, her weight does make her look shorter, but she's always looked short to me, even when she was thinner. btw, height is based on genetics, just like everything else is. my height is average on my dad's side and i'm taller than my mom and her siblings, with the exception of her older brother. both of my grandmothers are short- my dad's mom is 5'1 and my mom's mom is 5'3. some of my cousins inherited the short genes, while the rest are average height.

hillary_nugent · #74 01-08-2005, 07:25 AM

On my dad's side they're all tall and on my mum's side they're all midget so i turned out in between hahaha...

Is 5'10 very tall? i know 6 feet is very tall because all basketballers are 6 feet...sorry i don't know how to measure but feet and inches...

msfroyste · #75 01-08-2005, 07:29 AM

5'10 is above average for most ppl and is considered tall. 2.54cm = 1in. that's the conversion factor you need.

KatieLouise · #76 01-08-2005, 07:36 AM

My Dad and two of his brothers are 6'4 but their Mum is under 5' - needless to say, I did not inherit my Dad's height. I'll probably be as short as my Grandmama when I'm her age. Oh, Lord help me! Still, genetics is an interesting thing - with the Grand Ducal family Felix seems the tallest of the lot by a fair bit. I wonder who Alexandra will take after - I think she will be only slightly taller than MT.

msfroyste · #77 01-08-2005, 07:38 AM

louis and felix seem to be the same height- at least in the last pic i saw of them together. guillaume takes after mt in height. we still have yet to see where alex and sebastien will fall in.

Thanks heaps for the conversions! ^__^ Definitely helps big time ^__^

hillary_nugent · #79 01-08-2005, 07:42 AM

msfroyste · #80 01-08-2005, 07:44 AM

12 in = 1ft, 3 ft = 1 yard. that's all i can remember right now, hehe.
