has been suffering from sausage fingers for a long time
It is known that King Charles III.
has been suffering from sausage fingers for a long time.
The limbs are reddened and thickened.
There are many reasons for this, but Charles himself never spoke about it.
His medical records include the removal of a benign growth from his face in 2008, two corona infections in 2020 and 2022, and recent prostate surgery.
But the monarch took and takes all this with composure.
Instead of complaining, he prefers to joke about his age and the aches and pains that come with it.
He also once unexpectedly joked about his sausage fingers in the presence of heir to the throne Prince William.
Charles is likely to approach his cancer diagnosis more seriously.
