Prince Height - how tall

Sasha says on 25/Dec/11
My parents met Prince back in the 80s. My mom is 4'10" and Prince - in heels - was barely taller than her. I'm 4'11" and I've known a couple guys who look the same height as me but actually measure out to 5'2" (yes, we measured ourselves!) so I believe that he is, in fact, 5'2".

To all you guys who think you've finally found someone you can look down on, guess what? Prince has more talent than you, more money than you and a LOT more women than you. Watch you don't bang your head on the top of the door frame on the way out.

You're clearly a short guy with a chip on your shoulder.

An awesome talent. Some people have posted pictures with prince standing next to some tall ladies who are wearing enormous heels as well. Prince is wearing heels too but so what? He's a pretty small guy so I guess that makes it understandable. Not sure why the likes of Brad Pitt wear height enhancing shoes though, vanity probably.

i am sorry but those of u on here claiming to b 4´11 and taller than prince r flat out lying.
i have met him several times in the past 20 yrs and can tell u that he is no shorter than AT LEAST 5´2, more likely 5´3.
if u do ur research, u will c that he never wears heels higher than 3 inches, nowadays even less bcuz of orthopedic issues. he is about 5´6 in heels. how do i know? bcuz he was at no time ever more than 2 inches shorter than me and i am 5´8. there. let the flaming begin. LOL

Really? NO, I am 5 foot on the dot and I am a female, I know guys who are as short as me and no we are not sick! STUPID PEOPLE NOWADAYS.. and for the guy before me I used to get teased too it sucks but just wait you're almost done with school and there still will be unsecure people that have flaws them selves but since we can't see them they try to point us out. Just don't let it get to you. Believe me I used to hate being short but then I realized guys loved it lol. Better than being a giant.((:

@Kelvin, "kelvin says on 26/Aug/11
being tall in life doesn't matter because there are benefits when your a short person" Really? Like what, always being able to find shoes at babies R us or smelling farts before anyone else?

kelvin says on 26/Aug/11
being tall in life doesn't matter because there are benefits when your a short person the thing is when i was younger i was teased sometimes 4 bein short nd i didnt do the best in school either nd some ppl told me i was stupid but im in high school still short nd on my way 2 provn them wrng nd prince inspires me hes short to nd hes cool nd intelligent.

Looked tiny next to 5'6" Beyonce when they performed Purple Rain together. Both of them were wearing heels. He's 5'2" on the spot.

Of course he doesn't have a disease....but if he is in fact anywhere from 4'10-5'2 like everybody is claiming....that is a foot or more shorter than me. If he wasn't a music star, he would have issues with his short stature such as 65 percent of women being taller than him

leonari says on 6/Jul/11
I agree with JJ. This poster called "today" must be retarded. Being really short like Prince is no disease!! It's just a trait.

JJ says on 4/Jul/11
I am absolutely aghast at a poster called 'today' asking if Prince has some kind of medical diagnosis for being 5' 2' what???!!! are you in need of a brain stem! It may not be common for a MALE to be under 5' 6'' but for goodness sake, it is quite NORMAL for crying out loud. Ever looked at the height of the late, great, Dudley Moore! Words fail me!

Scott says on 20/Jun/11
I have a friend who is 4'11 and didn't have heals on when Prince walked past her and she claimed to be taller than him

solly d says on 13/Jun/11
Guess what. At Princes first Nyc concert
At the Ritz
He walked past me at the Ticket counter im 5'2 he was a few inches shorte

runt says on 29/May/11
c'mon he doesn't look under 5' in that pic with Mariah. In fact, if he would straighten up he might be only 3 to 4" shorter than her in perhaps equal heels.

Tracey Easter says on 31/Mar/11
My uncle who has photographed him told me that Prince was 4'9". He wears boots w/ heels to ... { you finish it} I love prince!

today says on 8/Mar/11
I was crazy about Prince when i was a teen. I've always heard 5'2. What I'm wondering is if he has any medical diagnosis causing the shortness...I know he had a child that died of a rare skeletal disorder. Sometimes these things run in families. I'm not asking to be mean; I'm actually interested because there is a child with possible dwarfism in my family and now everybody is thinking back to why the child's mom was always so small, just 4'11, but no one considered it might be a genetic issue.

I'd just call him petite, but he is or was hot, must be getting kind of old now.

guyfrommars says on 19/Jan/11
Is it just me or those high heeled ladies' shoes really make him look gay? Dunno why he doesn't wear elevator shoes like Bono or decent platforms like Dio did. But it doesn't matter.

Anyways, here's Prince in his usual big heels towered over by 5'7" Mariah Carey (probably also in heels):

Barefoot he's not taller than 5'2".

The height of a person doesn't matter, only their talent! Kids these days have to eat right and take the proper vitamins to become tall later in life. This is why fighting malnutrition in third world countries is so important.

Ella says on 28/Oct/10
He is short, you can see it in his videos especially in The most beautiful girl in the world. But I don't care, I think he is one of the best composers in the world.

I would have loved to seen a picture of Prince next to Peter Steele. Maybe one exists somewhere?
