Prince William<\/a> played a big role in the French state visit<\/a> to the UK yesterday as he stepped out to support his father King Charles<\/a>. The Prince of Wales, 43, accompanied by his wife Princess Kate<\/a>, was chosen to formally greet <\/a>French President Emmanuel Macron<\/a> and his wife Brigitte at RAF Northolt on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

From here, William and Kate travelled with the French couple to Windsor, where they were then greeted by the monarch, 76, and Queen Camilla, 77, on a royal dias just a stone\u2019s throw from Windsor Castle. While this may be a formal occasion, the couples could not help but exchange in some friendly chit-chat, with William even seen cheekily correcting his father during one quick conversation.<\/p>\n

On the dias, where the royals and their French guests gathered before taking a carriage procession to Windsor, President Macron could not help but comment on William\u2019s impressive height.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Sun<\/a> that the French president said: “He is incredibly tall.”<\/p>\n

This prompted the King to then reportedly say: “He is very tall. He\u2019s six foot one, he is, ever so.”<\/p>\n

However, it is believed the King did not quite get his facts right, which saw him get corrected by William.<\/p>\n

As reported by The Sun<\/a>, William told his father with a grin: “Actually, I\u2019m six foot three.”<\/p>\n

The French president is not the first to comment on Prince William<\/a>\u2019s height, with royal fans over the years having complimented the future King for this trait.<\/p>\n

Royal fans often take to X to talk about just how tall William is, with one fan recently saying: “Can you actually believe how tall Prince William<\/a> is?”<\/p>\n
