“Charles keeping the sausage fingers hidden," a third commented.

Earlier, Dr Gareth Nye, Senior Lecturer at the University of Chester, shared the possible cause of the monarch's fingers.

He said: "Oedema is a condition where the body starts to retain fluids in the limbs, normally the legs and ankles but also in the fingers which causes them to swell.

"Oedema is a common condition and mostly affects people over the age of 65 as the ability for fluid control is restricted," he added.

"To see if this is the cause, pressing the swollen area for about 15 seconds would cause a depression in the area."
