Forget “high-profile” – they’re a power couple. And yes, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex play with proportions in a way paparazzi can’t ignore. Meghan, a petite powerhouse at 5ft 5 (165.1 cm), commands attention in sleek stilettos that amplify her presence, not erase the gap between them.

It’s a masterclass in owning your silhouette – heels aren’t about reaching Harry’s 6ft 1 ¼ (186.1 cm) frame. They’re about owning her own space. And Harry? His height adds an air of protective elegance, the perfect foil to Meghan’s sharp confidence.
Meghan’s Masterclass in Footwear
Meghan Markle’s shoe game – think sharp stilettos and power pumps – deserves more than just size conversions. Sure, a US 8 is a UK 6 and an EU 38.5, but that’s merely the technical footnote.

Her footwear choices are strategic statements, not size charts. Those heels aren’t about bridging the inches between her and Harry; they’re about amplifying her presence, owning her space, and commanding attention in five-inch strides.
