King Charles ‘bullied’ out of showing ‘sausage fingers’ in new portraits
Insecurities are the wurst.
King Charles III has been accused of hiding his “sausage fingers” out of embarrassment in new portraits released ahead of his coronation.
Charles wore a simple pinstripe suit while Queen Consort Camilla wore a blue dress — but royal fans on Twitter were quick to notice that the King’s hands were nowhere to be seen.
The 74-year-old monarch seemed to make every possible effort to keep his hands away from the camera.
One picture shows him standing with his hands behind his back next to Camilla, 75, while another shows him with a hand in his pocket.
Whether or not Charles’ “sausage fingers” — a term he himself coined during a 2012 Australian tour — were the reason for his out-of-frame hands, the Kings’ hands have been roasted online since he took the throne last September.
“Sausage fingers” was even the seventh most searched term on Google at one point this year.
Social media users are now joking that the King has been “bullied” into hiding his digits in photos.
“Show us his hands cowards,” one person tweeted.
“I want to abolish the monarchy but I do still feel bad that we have gang bullied a grown man into never showing his hands again,” another wrote.
“I can’t believe Twitter has bullied the literal king into never showing his hands,” someone commented.
“We’re never seeing them again brother,” another said.
Even with camera-shy hands, Charles himself hasn’t addressed the internet’s obsession with his fingers.
The coronation of King Charles is on May 6.
