2026 Vs. 2015: Photos Of Princess Charlotte's Major Height Transformation
It seems like just yesterday that Princess Charlotte was born, but the young royal has grown up right before our eyes. Almost a teenager, Princess Charlotte's royal style is transforming, and she seems to get taller with every public appearance. The royal family hasn't released an exact measurement of Charlotte's height in 2026; however, when she stands beside her 5-foot-9-inch mother and 6-foot-3-inch father, it's clear that she's inherited some serious height potential from both parents.

The princess attended the August 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, wearing an adorable navy-and-white dress with polka dots and a collar. Pictured waving to onlookers, we couldn't help but compare the scene to photos taken outside St Mary's Hospital on May 2, 2015, when she was born. We've watched Princess Charlotte grow from a toddler with royally adorable hair to a pre-teen with long brunette locks who's growing more into her role with every public appearance.
Pics from 2023 and 2026 Trooping the Color highlight how fast Princess Charlotte is growing
In 2023, eight-year-old Princess Charlotte attended Trooping the Color wearing an adorable white dress with a red band and bow. Standing in front of her parents, she barely grazed her mother, Catherine, Princess of Wales' chest and was only as tall as her father's forearm. Just three years later, in 2026, Charlotte was photographed beside her parents again, and the height difference was clear as day. By the 2026 Trooping the Color, her head sat just below her mother's chin, and her head was up to William, Prince of Wales' chest.
Medical News Today points out that most girls experience their fastest growth around ages 11 to 12. This means the young royal may be entering one of the biggest growth periods of her childhood, and she could have plenty more growing to do. Judging by Princess Charlotte showing off her preppy British style with flared jeans, we can't wait to see how her style evolves as she gets taller. Considering we're still thinking about these Kate Middleton Wimbledon outfits, fashion may be on Princess Charlotte's blood.
