King Charles pokes fun at his 'sausage fingers' in previously unseen moment

The moment appears in the behind-the-scenes BBC documentary, Charles III: The Coronation Year.

King Charles joked about his infamous 'sausage fingers' with Prince William as they prepared for His Majesty's coronation in a previously unseen moment that appears in the behind-the-scenes BBC documentary, Charles III: The Coronation Year.

The documentary, which is set to air on Boxing Day, follows the lead-up to the coronation and shows the King having a playful moment with his eldest son as they rehearse. It also shows a moment where the Archbishop of Canterbury forgot his lines.

"I have a memory that is probably about as good as our spaniel - in other words zero," Archbishop Justin Welby says during one of the many rehearsals.

When Welby freezes mid-prayer while blessing the King, another clergyman teases him, saying, "You must have said this before."

This leaves the King in a fit of laughter as well.

In one of the rehearsals, which took place in a replica of Westminster Abbey that was built inside Buckingham Palace, Prince William is struggling to fasten one of the ceremonial robes on his father.

The King then has a cheeky moment and tells him not to worry, because he doesn't have "sausage fingers" like his father.

Elsewhere in the documentary, Princess Anne speaks about the late Queen Elizabeth II feeling it would be "more difficult" if she died at Balmoral.

"We did try and persuade her that that that shouldn't be part of the decision-making process," she tells the camera. "I hope she felt that that was right in the end, because I think we did."

Anne also shared that she felt a strange "sense of relief" once the crown was taken off her mother's coffin, because it symbolised the end of her long commitment to duty.
