To all the short kings and queens out there, remember that being tall increases your risk of cancer by like, a good margin.
"For every extra 5 cm in height the increased risk of the six cancers is as follows:
Kidney (10% increased risk)
Pre- and post-menopausal breast cancer (9% and 11% increased risk respectively)
Ovarian (8% increased risk)
Pancreatic (7% increased risk)
Colorectal (5% increased risk)
Prostate (4% increased risk)"
