In these days, and especially today, when Charles III of the United Kingdom is the global protagonist because of the coronation ceremony as the sovereign of the United Kingdom, humanity has noticed the hands of the king, where the big fingers are notorious, as “sausage” has been said several times.

A doctor interviewed by the Daily Mail explains that this could be due to multiple conditions. GP Chun Tang, chief medical officer at Pall Mall Medical in Manchester, said: “There are plenty of reasons why someone might suffer from ‘sausage fingers’. Swollen fingers are often a symptom of water retention which can be caused by a range of health conditions.

Sausage fingers are officially known as dactylitis.

“This condition develops as a result of inflammation and can result from arthritis, multiple bacterial infections, or even tuberculosis.”

“Other possibilities include high salt levels, allergic reactions, drug side effects, injuries and autoimmune diseases. Treatment for this condition can be determined once the underlying cause is identified. A blood test should be done to determine the underlying problems, the doctor explains.

The monarch has had big hands from an early age, a characteristic the late Queen Elizabeth II wrote about in a letter to her music teacher after Charles’s birth. She wrote: “The baby is so sweet and we are extremely proud of him. He has an interesting pair of hands for a baby. They are quite large, but with thin, long fingers very different from mine and certainly from their father’s. It will be interesting to see what they become.

The king has never confirmed the cause of his predicament. But he may be aware of the nation’s interest in his hands, as he seems to have started hiding his hands in actual photographs.

Inherited to Guillermo

King Carlos III used to joke about the appearance of his hands. And she even called them her “sausage fingers” in a letter she wrote to a friend describing her newborn son, Prince William. “I can’t tell you how excited and proud I am. It really does look surprisingly appetizing and has sausage fingers just like mine,” he wrote, quoted in Charles, The man who becomes king by Howard Hodgson.

Discussion about Carls’ ‘sausage fingers’ raged on social media and at one point he was the seventh most searched term on Google in the UK, with many wondering what the problem might be.

King Charles has been photographed many times with swollen hands and feet, particularly after long periods of flying or traveling to hot countries. But the public really started to take notice when he ascended the throne after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Though Carlos’ sausage fingers are reminiscent of the Oscar-winning Movie of the Year: Everything everywhere at onceto be in harmony with the British crown, we hope that the king, who ascended the throne at the age of 74, may live long, as they wished him during the coronation ceremony: ‘Long live the king’.
