During a recent Coronation rehearsal, Prince Charles shared a light-hearted moment with his son, Prince William, joking about his "sausage fingers." The playful exchange between the two royals was captured in a new BBC documentary.
Prince William's Quip
As part of the rehearsal, Prince William was seen closing a clasp on his father's robe, which made Charles laugh. William then jokingly said, "On the day, that's not going to go in."
The King's Response
Prince Charles responded with a smile, saying, "No, you haven't got sausage fingers like mine." The light-hearted banter showcased the close relationship between the father and son.
Unflattering Nickname
In a separate revelation, it was recently disclosed that Prince William has an unflattering nickname – "One Pint Willy." This nickname was given to him by former rugby star Mike Tindall, who is married to Zara, William's cousin. Tindall revealed the nickname, explaining that it stemmed from William's inability to handle his alcohol.
Interest in Charles's Fingers
Prince Charles's fingers, which have occasionally attracted attention online, were once again in focus during a Buckingham Palace reception in October. A photo of Charles chatting with TV presenter Clare Balding showcased his unique digits.
Previous Comments on His Fingers
This is not the first time Prince Charles has made light of his fingers. In a letter to a friend after Prince William's birth, he reportedly wrote, "He has sausage fingers just like mine." The King's humor about his physical appearance adds to his relatability.
