King Charles III of Great Britan made a joke about his "sausage-like fingers" in a documentary film about his coronation.
This amusing topic garnered intense media attention and became the subject of numerous memes on the internet over the years.
According to AFP, the joke was featured in a 90-minute documentary film that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the preparations made by the British royal family for his coronation.
During a moment when his eldest son, Prince William, struggled to fasten the buttons on one of his ceremonial robes, King Charles reassured him not to worry because he doesn't have "fingers like sausages," as he jokingly declared in front of the cameras. The 74-year-old sovereign's remark was reported by the BBC.
