Penny Lancaster’s Hilarious Wardrobe Swap After King Charles’ Height Comment

OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Penny Lancaster, renowned for her beauty and towering presence, recently shared a funny and endearing story about a chance encounter with King Charles that left everyone in stitches. The former lingerie model and wife of legendary rocker Rod Stewart found herself facing a height conundrum at a charity event, where her 6’1″ stature stood in stark contrast to the monarch’s reported 5’10” frame.

The event in question was the 35th anniversary celebration of The King’s Foundation, held at Dumfries House. Penny, who was attending with her husband Rod, caught the King’s attention, and he couldn’t help but comment on her impressive height. In true Penny style, she responded with wit and humor.

“He commented on my height,” she revealed during an interview with the Daily Mail. “So I said, ‘I can do something about that,’ and took my shoes off.” Penny continued, sharing that King Charles was a true gentleman, offering her a steady hand as they walked along together after her quick wardrobe adjustment.

Interestingly, Penny’s height has often been a topic of conversation, with the striking model not being the first royal encounter where height plays a role. It’s well known that Princess Diana, who shared a similar height at 5’10”, often opted for low heels in order not to overshadow her husband, Prince Charles, who was also 5’10”. The late Princess of Wales, conscious of her height relative to her husband’s, would often wear shoes with no higher than a two-inch heel, a subtle act of respect for his ego, as noted by Eloise Moran in The Lady Di Look Book.

As for Queen Camilla, at 5’9″, she is slightly shorter than her husband, King Charles, and prefers footwear that offers both comfort and style. She often wears low heels from Sole Bliss, a UK brand known for its hidden stretch panels and cushioning, which provide both elegance and support, as reported by the Daily Star.

Unlike other royal couples, where height may seem to be a concern, Princess Catherine and Prince William share a comfortable dynamic, with the Princess of Wales standing at 5’9″ and the Prince at 6’3″. William’s height naturally keeps things in balance, and he’s not one to fret about his wife standing taller in certain situations. This is in stark contrast to Penny’s experience with her own husband, Rod Stewart, who at 5’8″, is notably shorter than his wife.

In a fun anecdote shared by Penny on Loose Women, she recounted how, when she first started dating Rod, his management advised her to tone down the high heels. “You need more flats else you’re going to make our artist look very short,” they reportedly told her. However, Penny laughed off the suggestion, explaining that it didn’t work, much to the joy of her husband.

Rod, who clearly doesn’t mind the height difference, has often been supportive of Penny’s choice to wear heels. Penny jokingly shared, “He really loves me wearing the heels,” and even added that when they walk into rooms together, she often lets Rod go ahead to avoid looking like “Amazonian” with him trailing behind.

It seems that no matter the height difference, Penny and Rod share a playful, loving relationship where height is simply part of the charm. And as for her delightful moment with King Charles, Penny’s quick-thinking wardrobe swap and her light-hearted response only added to the laughter and warmth of the evening. It’s clear that whether it’s adjusting heels or swapping shoes, Penny Lancaster always brings her wit and grace to any situation.
