It's about time we Americans joined the rest of the world and converted to the metric system. The Brits started about 30 years ago (right?) and have just about got the system mastered. (Other than road distance signs, which are still posted in miles. Why is that?) Anyway, life would be a lot easier for us if we'd just bite the bullet and go metric.

I agree that it's about time but until the US follows suit, most of us Americans with busy lives and who aren't mandated (or don't have the chance) to learn it in school or elsewhere will be a lot slower than the rest of the world, so have pity on us!! Thanks to the poster who provided a link to the conversion of metric lengths.

I know that if and when I ever have children, I'll make sure they are taught the metric system and how to convert it.

I think taht laurentien is taller than 1.72. Aimee and maxima are surely 1.75.Mabel and anita must be 1.70. What about annette??? 1.70????

I think that most of the boys are between 1.78-1.85. I'm not sure the crown prince is taller than 1.90.

I read somewhere maxima is about, 1.75 m ... I think that is correct.. don't you?!

If WA is 1.93 indeed I do not think that is correct, they do not seem to differ that much in height.
The Queen and her sisters are all small, around 1.65 I would guess.

Yeah, if W-A was 1.93m then Maxima should be at least 1.85 and I don't think so.

The Queen is pretty short but then I'm too tall (5'11 1/2) so...

[mirrjam]

well, maxima wears often high heels, if you watch the photshoot of 17 july.. she is wearing flat shoes, you see a big difference...

[mirrjam]

marilene is even a bit taller than 1.77, she is like 1.80

[mirrjam]

I have to tell you; 10 cm in difference seems much, but that is not true, it is a little difference, look at mary and frederik; they differ 10 cm in height.. it is nothing!
So maxima is indeed 1.75. And she wears often high heels!!
Even at the photoshoot, were you can clearly see the difference between maxima en WA... maxima is wearin small heels, you can see that in this picture..

Prince Felipe is 1.97m, is W-A really that tall?

[mirrjam]

Nah, those are hard to hide under trousers

There was a Mexican President or his son don't remember exactly, that used some kind of heel inside
of his shoes, that way nobady would notice. Maybe he does the same thing.

It's unlikely these days

Sylvester Stallone uses heels inside his boots. Then again, he's only 3/4 the height of a normal man. I doubt someone who is already tall would go through the trouble to have special heels manufactured.

About the Sonja / Sophia / Beatrix picture, Sophia is taller than Beatrix already even though she's lowering her head, so obviously Sophia is some 8 centimetres (3 inches I believe) taller than Beatrix.

Don't you think it's odd that a woman of 1.60-1.65 and a man of 1.70-1.75 can get a son of 1.90-1.95
