Measurements of the diameter of Betelgeuse from use of Labeyrie's speckle interferometer attached to the 6-m Soviet telescope and the 3.6-m ESO telescope are reported. The TiO related diameter variations evidenced are not consistent with the effective temperature of 3900 K proposed by Tsuji (1976) from model fitting to the observed energy distribution; this discrepancy is discussed. No other variation of diameter, either with wavelength or with time is meaningful within the range of errors.
