"The emeritus king was also very tall," a statement that sparked both curiosity and nostalgia among viewers.

The program Aruser@s addressed the surprising reason why Felipe VI is recognized in the Guinness Book of Records. "He's the tallest king in the world at 6'5.5", added Tatiana Arús. This fact, although curious, reflects a peculiarity that few monarchs share.
The program's collaborator explained that this record might be short-lived. The reason is the son of the Danish royals, a young heir who could snatch this title from the Spanish monarch. "He could lose that title because the son of the Danish royals is slightly taller than our king. He's 6'6" and is an heir," assured Tatiana.
The significance of height in royalty is not a minor issue. Historically, the height of monarchs has been seen as a symbol of power and majesty. In this sense, Felipe VI's Guinness record is a detail that reinforces his imposing presence at official events.

However, Arús and his team also reflected on the limitations of such recognitions. Tatiana highlighted that the title of "tallest king in the world" is awarded on the day the monarch ascends the throne. This means that, although Felipe VI maintains his height, other factors could determine if he keeps this record in the future.

The segment dedicated to the height of monarchs also included anecdotes about Juan Carlos I. Alfonso Arús highlighted how, during his reign, he was also considered a man of great stature, although over the years his height has slightly decreased. A common phenomenon that the host called "shrinkage factor."
"The emeritus king was also very tall when he was king. Although it was 20 or 30 years ago," recalled the host. It's important to remember that the decrease in height with age is a natural process. This is due to the compression of intervertebral discs, changes in posture, and loss of bone mass.

This moment also served for Alfonso Arús and his team to joke about the challenges of being such a tall monarch. From the difficulty of finding suitable suits to fitting into certain official cars. These light-hearted jokes contributed to a relaxed atmosphere, characteristic of the morning show.
Alfonso Arús's intervention in Aruser@s about Felipe VI's Guinness record and the comments about Juan Carlos I managed to capture the audience's attention. Although height may seem like a minor detail, this type of information humanizes monarchs and piques public interest. Will the Danish heir be the one to displace Felipe VI from the Guinness? Only time will tell.
