King Charles has been pictured with swollen fingers which he himself is said to have described as 'sausages' since 2012, but has never publicly explained the reason. The then Prince Charles joked about his "sausage fingers" in 2012 after getting off a long haul flight to Australia.
The Queen even remarked on the 'large' size of Charles's hands when he was a boy.
The painful-looking swelling has been seen at many public appearances since then, including famously in 2021 when he was seen pulling a pint with swollen hands.
