God save the King's hands: Charles makes 'sausage fingers' joke in coronation film

In a unique glimpse behind the regal curtain, Britain's King Charles added a touch of humour to the preparations for his coronation by addressing the ongoing fascination with his "sausage fingers." This lighthearted moment unfolded during a robe fitting with his son, Prince William, who was grappling with the ceremonial attire. The monarch, then 74, reassured his son, quipping that he need not fret about the task, as he doesn't possess "sausage fingers" like himself, as reported by the BBC.

The British media, always quick to seize on quirky details, ran stories in various tones, from detailed explanations to more whimsical takes, all centred around King Charles's fingers in the lead-up to the historic ceremony earlier in the year. Some reports even consulted medical experts to speculate on potential causes for concern regarding the king's fingers, ranging from oedema and arthritis to infections and allergies.

The frenzy reached its peak in the days leading to the May 6 coronation, with internet searches for "sausage fingers" soaring, as indicated by Google Trends data. The public's curiosity and humour were evident in the proliferation of memes and discussions surrounding this royal quirk.

The forthcoming 90-minute documentary, offering an intimate view of the initial year of King Charles's reign following Queen Elizabeth's 2022 demise, promises to provide exclusive insights. Scheduled to air on Boxing Day, it unveils moments such as the monarch's candid commentary on his distinctive fingers and includes Archbishop Justin Welby's endearing admission of memory lapses during a rehearsal.

Welby, the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, humorously likened his memory to that of a spaniel, stating, "I have a memory that is probably about as good as our spaniel - in other words, zero," explaining his difficulty in recalling lines. This documentary not only captures the formalities of a royal transition but also humanizes these iconic figures, offering glimpses into their interactions and moments of vulnerability.
