'Queen Victoria was a charming, lady-like petite woman'
In 1846, a visitor from America who attended a reception of Queen Victoria in London described her as a "charming, lady-like petite woman" with a height that "does not exceed five feet," as per History Extra.
In her latest biography of Queen Victoria, historian Lucy Worsley shares an intriguing detail. She reveals that Thomas Sully, the artist behind one of the most beautiful early portraits of the young queen in 1838, claimed to have measured her height precisely. According to Sully, Queen Victoria stood exactly 5 ft 1¼ in tall when measured with a tape measure.
