A New Zealand butcher has poked fun at King Charles III and his ‘swollen fingers’ by selling ‘King Charles sausage fingers’ to mark his ascension to the throne.

Avon’s Butchery in Auckland announced in a series of posts to social media on Wednesday that they’d be stocking the specially-named sausages for a limited time.

King Charles III officially ascended to the throne on Saturday following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, last Thursday at the age of 96.

King Charles has also previously referred to his fingers as ‘sausage fingers’ back in 2012 while he was on tour in Australia.

The butchery first posted a photo of King Charles III but removed his fingers from the image and jokingly replaced them with actual sausages.

‘I’m going to hell,’ the caption read.

The next image is of the actual ‘King Charles III sausage fingers’ at the butchery.
