From home page , I chose Finding & Reburying Richard, then Background. The final para on that page mentions the late Queen Elizabeth II. Quote:
In this context it was remarked that ‘contemporary accounts of Richard’s appearance’ had noted this disparity in shoulder height, but of course Ricardians know this is not true. It was only after his death that stories of Richard III began to be embroidered with descriptions of disfigurements. Now, from this evidence, far from being a distorted monster his only physical problem appeared to be unequal shoulders. Intriguingly, our reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has the same.
