Tuesday was a day for Richard Osman to remember as the author and former Pointless star received his OBE for services to literature and broadcasting.
The 55-year-old presenter, who stands at an impressive 6'7, was seen towering over Princess Anne as he received his honour, before being joined by his family on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Richard was seen with his wife, Doctor Who star Ingrid Oliver, and his daughter, Ruby, whom he had from a previous relationship. Ruby was making her public debut for her father's momentous day, and it was clear that she had inherited his height.
Despite her father's staggering height, Ruby, who wore a red dress befitting of her name, was seen standing just half a head shorter than the House of Games presenter, while towering over her famous stepmother. Richard has previously revealed that his daughter is six foot tall, joking: "I don't know where she gets that from."

"I'm very proud of the opportunities this country gave me. I'm very proud of growing up in a country that’s full of writers and funny people and creative people. I owe this country an awful lot, and I intend to pay as much of that back as I can."
He also revealed that he and the Princess Royal had a "nice chat", adding: "I was always trying to remember you have to shake hands and walk back and then bow and then walk off. That's all I was thinking.
"I felt very nervous going in there. It's crazy being in Windsor Castle. It feels like a responsibility more than an honour."
Richard's relationship with Ruby
Richard had his daughter in a previous relationship, and the pair are incredibly close. Ruby currently works at the Tony Blair Institute, and she previously studied in China.
The father-of-two was nervous about his daughter being halfway around the world at the time, and wrote in a piece for the Daily Mail in 2015: "Ruby decided she wanted to study Chinese at university. However, she then decided that she actually wanted to study it in China. This, I thought, was a slightly more terrifying idea, as it meant her actually going to China.
"To make matters worse, she then suggested we all go and visit China first, so we could experience it before she disappears there to study."
He continued: "Well, there are times when you have to pretend to be a good dad, and this was one of them. So the two of us, and my 15-year-old son, decided that a week in Shanghai, meeting the people, seeing a bit of the country and sampling the culture, would be a grand idea. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made."
