The smallest or shortest British monarch was likely Queen Victoria who only stood 5 feet. This wouldn't count the monarchs who ascended the throne while they were still children. King John was 5'5', the shortest of the male monarchs.

The shortest British monarch was Queen Victoria. She stood only 5-feet tall, and toward the end of her life was a few inches shorter than that.

Lady Jane Grey ruled for the shortest amount of time, as she only ruled for 9 days, until Mary I protested against her, and Lady Jane Grey was executed shortly afterwards.

Who had the shortest reign in history?

The shortest recorded reign I could find was King Louis XIX of France. His reign began on August 2, 1830 and ended the same exact day. It lasted an impressive fifteen minutes in total. Basically, good old Louis was the Dauphin of France, being the eldest son of King Charles X. After the July Revolution, Charles X was forced to sign papers abdicating his claim to the throne. This abdication made Louis and his wife the king and queen of France. The new king's embarrassingly brief reign consisted of him listening to his ambitious wife demand that he not sign the abdication papers while his father wept in a corner. Being king is fun.
