As the site

reports, the king's protruding ears are said to have been the subject of a long-standing joke in the Windsor family.

Apparently the Queen even made fun of her heir to the throne's ears when his son Prince William (41) was born: "Thank God he doesn't have ears like his father," the Queen is said to have joked.

As a sensitive person, the king kept to himself whether he suffered as a result.

However, biographer Ingrid Seward writes that the current king longed for his mother's hugs.
