Our thoughts are with King Charles.
People talked about King Charles III, the king of the land, not because of what he normally does as king, but because his hand looked red and swollen. He was seen leaving his palace in a fancy car, and everyone was interested in his hand.
People talked about the pictures of his hand that were all over the internet. Some people thought it might be the sun reflecting off the window, while others thought it might be the treatment for a sick person, like cancer. Some people even thought of the late Queen Elizabeth and said that his hand looked like hers.
People were worried about his health because he lost weight, looked sick, and didn’t look good in general. Some people even thought he might be dying. It was clear that a lot of people cared about their king when the talk about his health went viral.
King Charles made fun of his own hands behind the scenes while they were practicing for his coronation. He called them “sausage fingers.” This funny moment between him and his son, Prince William, showed how close they were.
A lot of people spoke up and said that his swollen fingers were probably just a sign of getting older and not a sign of something serious. They told everyone that the king most likely was fine.
In order to take care of himself, King Charles decided to step back from his public duties and let his wife Camilla take on more.
He put his health first by changing his plans, even if it meant changing how things were done in the kingdom.
