“Sausage fingers” and “King of the United Kingdom” are two terms you would never think to put together in one sentence, yet here we are.
In a new documentary titled Charles III: The Coronation Year, footage leading up to King Charles’ coronation day also included a hilarious moment where the 75-year-old royal pokes fun at his medical “sausage fingers” condition.
The 90-minute film, which will be screened on Boxing Day at 6.50 pm on BBC One and iPlayer, shows how alterations are made to the crown jewels, the work of the Royal School of Needlework, and the arrival of the King and Queen’s anointing oil from the Holy Land, as perLadBible.

The documentary also shows the 75-year-old King and his son, Prince William, rehearsing with one another.
In one particular scene, the 41-year-old Prince of Wales is filmed tickling his dad’s left cheek, making him laugh, then kissing him on the right cheek.
The affectionate gesture prompts King Charles to question “Wasn’t it that side?” pointing to his other cheek.
Another segment from the documentary shows the heir to the British throne closing a small clasp on the robe wrapped around his father, which again made the King explode into giggles.
“No, you haven’t got sausage fingers like mine,” King Charles jokingly says to his eldest son, Prince William, in the new BBC film
William is seen joking: “On the day, that’s not going to go in.” Charles then quipped: “No, you haven’t got sausage fingers like mine.”
The King had previously joked about his hands when he was the Prince of Wales. Moreover, in a letter to a friend after his first son was born, King Charles reportedly wrote: “I can’t tell you how excited and proud I am.”
GP Chun Tang, Medical Director at Pall Mall Medical in Manchester, has clarified what the King’s medical condition is.
“This condition arises due to inflammation and can be a result of arthritis, multiple bacterial infections or even TB.
“Other possibilities include high salt levels, allergic reactions, medicinal side effects, injury, and autoimmune disease.
“Treatment for this condition can be determined when the underlying cause is identified. A blood test should be carried out to determine the underlying issues.”

The debate around the King’s sausage fingers is a popular topic in the UK, prompting viral discussions and sharing images on social media. At one point, Charles’ medical condition was reportedly the seventh most searched term on Google in the UK.
Charles has been pictured with swollen hands and feet a few times before, especially after long periods spent flying or traveling to hot countries, the Daily Mail reported.

The royal has had large hands from a young age, a feature the late Queen Elizabeth II wrote about in a letter to her music teacher after Charles had been born.
“They are rather large, but with fine long fingers quite unlike mine and certainly unlike his father’s. It will be interesting to see what they become.”
“He’s the kind of person that can see the humor in it all,” a person commented
