affidavit, that is not true. Spanish men are in average 5'9'' at most. And women certainly not 5´8-5'9!!!!!
Not even in the Netherlands you see that average height for women. Neither 1,78-1,80 for men. In this last case it's closer to the height of Belgian men!
Spanish people have a similar height to the Portuguese.

Are you serious Rob?, 6'5?, I know for a fact he was 1.97m tall, no less than 6'5.25 nowadays, and most likely 6'5.5, I'm accustomed to seeing him alongside other people( ministers, politicians) whose height I know. I can't understand this tendency to downplay some heights and inflate others. By the way, the average height in Spain for men is no less than 5'10-5'10.5. and women are usually around 5'8-5'9

This needs to be downgraded asap. Looks no more than 192CM next to Obama and Prince William on photos that aren't shopped. Also, his wife is like 159-162CM according to a Spanish forum. The only reason he looks taller is that Spain has shorter than average people compared to the rest of Europe.

@Rob there is a fuss on social media about our new PM height. He is widely being ridiculed as being short. But i would say he looks at least 5'9? Right? I agree the king is a solid 6'5".

Editor RobMight be a little tilt favouring the PM there, so by comparison I'd say somewhere in 7 inches difference.

One fact is standing alone The King look legit 6'5, but look a dead one inch not more taller than James Harden but Harden is arguable a guy fall into 6'3.5" so how could King Felipe be over 6'4 1/2? I would have think at best he had small fraction less footwear than Harden so about Kobe's height not more.

He doesn’t look as low as 6’4.5. He looks 6’5” proportionately in the picture above. He looks taller than a guy like Tim Robbins or Vince Vaughn

@Christian: it’s also because so and so is “6’4” he must be 6’6”. Etc. or because so and so is 6’3 I must be 6’5” is what I’m told. Meaning guys here may be overlisted. So if a guy is listed 197-198 and he is the same height as KF VI then it’s always assumed that the taller listing is the one to go with. It’s likely his 197 was an early morning Or even 196.5 so he’s 6’5 probably. I doubt he’s more than Rob lists him

@Davidjr
That doesn't mean anything. How tall someone looks, is 100% relied on who he's standing with. If a 5'8" guy surrounds and hangs out with nothing but 5'0" tall people, then he'll look tall by comparison. Tallness is all relative.

I think he is 197.7cm or 6foot 5.75inches because he looks so tall in the photos almost a Giant of 2meters no 195.6cm tall that measure is incorrect minimum 197cm tall maximun 197.8cm tall

@Junior: the highest afternoon height for Harden I could buy is 6’3 5/8. But really 6’3.5 looks good. Now going off lunchtime I could buy 6’3 5/8 or 6’3.75 but I’d lean toward 6’3 5/8. I don’t get the impression off him that a guy like Jared Goff gives. And the measurements are about an hour after waking with no 1/8” increments

Canson say James Harden is nothing over 6'3 1/2 from 6'4 drafted morning height could make some sencse so King Felipe is def below Kobe Bryant. Kobe had solid 3cm on Harden and King Felipe look a plain inch on Harden. Kobe should be listed 6'5.25". But i personally still think Harden is 6'3.75", King Felipe 6'4.75" and Kobe 6'5.

@Rampage: agreed. In the pic above he definitely looks or at least appears to have the proportions of a 6’5” guy. I would go with something along the lines of what you said maybe 198 out of bed and 196 afternoon. I would say worst case is 195.5-196. But I can see the argument for a strong 6’5 guy and he has had his share of pics where he can look 6’5.5 even. Ironically Bo can pull the 6’5.5 impression off too at times.

Canson I reckon he was Bo Burnham type range prime, not under a solid 196cm evening and at least 198cm out of bed. With that I don’t think 197cm is an unreasonable claim. I’m more inclined to believe he did measure it legitimately barefoot in the morning rather than in shoes....strong 6ft5 guy with good posture

@Junior: I highly doubt that Harden is 6’3.75. He’s max 6’3.5 with a 6’4 morning height and that’s assuming it was a solid 6’4 and not 6’3.75-6’3.8. They won’t round down at the combine only up and an hour out of bed

I think King Felipe VI never lost any height yet and he was always 6'4.75" consider with 6'3.75" James Harden, Well Kobe Bryant don't look under 6'5 with Harden.

Both are taller than the national average height (176-177 and 163-164 for young people)

That's a good pic, and quite believable estimates, Tunman. I don't know whether Felipe has shrunk or not (though I guess he's still near his peak height as he's only 50), but 6'5 is certainly the absolute most I'd ever argue for him, with a good chance of being a bit under it, like 194-5 range (and 197 in shoes, which might explain where that 197 figure comes from, if that has any validity at all), IMO. 6'4.75 may well be the best shout, all things considered, although I think that both Kobe and Michael Jordan give a taller impression than him next to Obama...

King Felipe 6'4.5" (6'5.5"with shoes,that probably explains the 197 measurement)
Melania 5'9 (6'0.5"with heels)
Queen Letizia 5'5.5 (5'9 with heels)

He comes from taller family. His father king Juan Carlos was around 187 cm but now is 184cm maybe less,his grandfather around 185cm too. Also his mother Queen Sofia, is tall, she is 174cm. I think Felipe is the king taller than all history.

@Rampage: agreed and throw Peter Hermann in the mix. He's a strong 6'5" too! I wonder who'd be taller peak between the two of them though stern and Felipe? Not sure today for him but Stern I could see today as a legit 6'5" nothing more only because I saw the pic with Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson as swell as a couple others meeting him in person. But when I say legit 6'5" that's basically saying he doesn't drop below it. So essentially a strong 6'5" just about.

Actually Rampage after looking at it he may be a very strong 6'5 high 196 range or mid 196 evening. He almost looks as if he's over 6'6" in dress shoes pushing 6'7. Maybe it's the proporti Me though because he looks long and lanky on the pic above

@Rampage: I'm thinking 197 is a morning measurement at his peak maybe 1-2 hours out of bed. Or could be rounded up. Possible peak height out of bed of 6'6 and 6'5.25 at his lowest as I can't see him below 6'5 in that pic.

He's giving a 6ft6-7 illusion in that photo. Probably his slim build and good posture (rare for a guy that tall)

Rob, maybe 6ft4.75 would be a better listing? You had said in the past that he can even look 6ft4.5 and that he only would be 197cm in a 2 cm shoe, and also that he looks a couple of inches taller than Prince William that you have at 6ft2.75, so maybe 6ft4.75 is the best option?

@Gonzalo
Presidents and Kings are often in the 6 foot range regardless of average height since taller people get more respect than average or shorter people.

Zapatero slouched often. I saw him close and he dropped 3-4 cms due to posture. He looked around 1`80, plus 4 cms of posture = 1`84.
Next to King Felipe VI in these last pics, Sánchez struggles to hit the 1`90 mark.

@Gonzalo Interesting facts. I have read an interview where Suarez claimed that he was 177 cm. 176 cm is credible for him and Gonzalez was at his peak very similar than Suarez, like 1 cm taller so he would be 177 cm. Zapatero is a bit shorter than Rajoy (188 cm peak but now like 187 cm, he is clearly taller tan Zapatero). Pedro Sánchez is 190 cm like he says, and Pablo Iglesias must be around 175-176 cm if he stands straight, and Albert Rivera is around 180 cm

Queen Sofía is taller or at least was in her haydey. I saw her back in 1993 and she was around my height or 1`74.
Suárez looked a bit taller tan me when I saw him years ago. 1`76-77 at the most
Rajoy is more around 1`85. Zapatero is 1`84. Aznar is 1`71 in his own words (when he doesn`t wear lifts). González I have read 1`81 and 1`76. Now he is also around my height.
Pujol is around 1`63.
Pedro Sánchez is close to 1`90

I don't think Felipe is under 197 cm, He is way taller more than 11 cms than his father (now at 184,5 cm but no less, comparing with footballers and Del Bosque). Queen Letizia former Princess is 166 cm, Queen Sofia 169 cm. Politians, Pujol is not that sort more around 163 cm, and 1 cm more for Suarez and Gonzalez of what I thought before.

Rock solid 197cm I can see him being 3-3.5 omches taller than me and 8-9cm taller. Strong 6'5.5 proportions! I work with a solid 6-6" guy so it becomes easier to gauge. When I first height guessed on coworker I guessed 6'5" which at a solid 6'2" is when I notice another person as being significantly taller/larger at 6'5"-6-6'7" is when I see someone as a whole other size larger/start of towering.
