The curious reason Spain's king appears in the Guinness Book of Records

Felipe VI, like the rest of the Spanish kings, will go down in history. His life and works will be recorded in a multitude of books that will remain for posterity. But there is one book, in particular, that may cause surprise.

The king managed to get an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. Yes, you heard it right.

What is the reason that has led Felipe VI to be included in this famous compilation of feats and characteristics, published every year by the world's leading authority on records?

Well, his height. It is obvious that Felipe VI is very tall, but he also happens to be the tallest monarch in the world.

How tall is he? He's almost two meters tall. Exactly 1.97 meters (6.4ft) tall. That's quite an appearance.

Nine centimeters away is Harald of Norway, at 1.88 meters (6.1 ft).

But be careful, because Felipe VI could see another royal take his place in the future. There is already a crown prince who is one centimeter taller than him.

Who is it? Which young prince will take Felipe VI's record when he ascends to the throne?

We are talking about Crown Prince Christian of Denmark, who despite his youth, is already 1.98 meters (6.4ft) tall.

Christian of Denmark could be even taller. Among his ancestors we find King Christian X of Denmark, who measured 2.03 meters (6.6ft).

But for now, it is Felipe VI who reigns not only in Spain but also in the Guinness Book of Records.
