Princes height

I've read that Prince was diminutive, and not tall...I recently saw a video
Of Prince on the tonight show and jay
Leno walks over to the band..I think it was
The outdoor show episode of the tonight show and Jay towered over Prince.

Just how tall was Prince? I saw him
Live four or five times and never got the sense that he was short but maybe it's
Because the musicians around him weren't tall...

In heels, though, he was likely around the 5' 6" mark.

Yea 5'3". That's the height stated by Prince himself and it confirmed it in the autopsy report. So many books I've read on him says 5'2" but they couldn't even get that right. I always wondered how he would look in person. Wnenever I see a guy around that height, I always think, that's how Prince would look, and compare my height to his, lol. I'm 5'5". With his heels on though, he should have been around 5'6". I think it's adorable that he's only 5'3". Makes him a little more special...

Really? I never knew that he ever told his height. When? In an interview? I've defended his height to nonfans forever. I used to say he was 5'6" cuz I'm 5'4 1/2". I know, I know. LMAO

Yes, I forgot which interview or book I read it in, if I remember I'll post the link or book title, but he said something along the line of, why do they refer to me as being diminutive in all these articles, I'm 5'3".

I find it hilarious that I was taller than him at the age of 12. Karma, however, has decided that I will remain that height FOREVER: 5'4". A whole inch taller than my guitar hero. falloff

Yep same here! I would not have stood a chance though because I built like a mini hippo instead of his preferred skinny ladies.

Small in stature and frame, but large in presence it has been said. He has certainly left a huge gap! 😒

My mum (who is the same height as me: 5'4) always said that what matters is that your feet reach the floor so that you can remain grounded πŸ˜‰

When I was a teenager, I used to have a friend of mine that didn't like tall guys. She liked guys her height, which was around 5'5" 5'6". I never understood it until I started liking Prince. I finally understood the attraction... lol

When people who'd never stood close to him (as I did on a couple of occasions) asked me if he was really as tiny as they'd heard, I'd tell them he was about the size of a 12-year-old girl.
