But it seems he might not be the only of the late Queen's descendants with large digits… King Charles' fingers have been compared to "sausages" and have gained much social media attention over the years - and it turns out it may run in the family. The King has regularly been pictured with puffy fingers and swollen feet, often after a long-haul flight or a period in a hot country.

It is no recent development, with Queen Elizabeth II famously noting her eldest son's large fingers when he was just a baby. In a letter to her music teacher after Charles' birth, the late Queen wrote: 'The baby is very sweet and we are enormously proud of him. He has an interesting pair of hands for a baby. 'They are rather large, but with fine long fingers quite unlike mine and certainly unlike his father's. It will be interesting to see what they become.' But Charles, despite having the most noticeably large fingers, might not be alone in his family - as he may have passed them on to his eldest son, William. In fact, like-mother-like-son, Charles commented on Will's hands in a letter to his friend when his son was born, the MailOnline reported. It read: 'I can't tell you how excited and proud I am. He really does look surprisingly appetising and has sausage fingers just like mine,' as quoted in Charles, The Man Who Will Be King by Howard Hodgson. King Charles has never confirmed why his fingers swell up, but according to medical experts, it could be for a variety of health issues. It could also be due to water retention or old age - the latter of which seems unlikely, given the Queen's comments.
