On a royal trip, Prince Charles' health was emphasized when the heir to the throne arrived with swollen feet and hands, which he termed "sausage fingers."

Prince Charles' health was exposed on a previous royal journey to India in 2019 when eagle-eyed royal fans couldn't help but notice his swollen hands. As he performed engagements in New Delhi, the heir's seeming swollen red fingers and toes were visible.

Royal Fans Spotted Prince Charles' Rare Physical Condition

The Prince boarded a battery-powered rickshaw after a nine-hour flight to begin his tour of the capital. He made a pit stop at India's version of the Met Office, where he learned about the dense haze that blankets the city every fall.

Prince Charles also paid a visit to the Bangla Sahib Gurdwara Sikh Temple in a more tranquil hour. His visit fell on the 550th anniversary of Guru Nanak's birth, the founder of Sikhism, Daily Express reported. After removing his shoes and socks at the sacred place, Prince Charles entered the temple barefoot.

Prince Charles appeared to have painful-looking swelling in his feet and hands in photos from the expedition. Heat or the consequences of a long-haul travel might have caused the royal's swollen extremities. Swelling and water retention in some regions of the body can occur as a result of inactivity and changes in air conditions when flying.

A build-up of fluid causes swelling in the arms or hands, which usually goes away independently. Oedema is a disorder that occurs when you stay in the same position for too long, consume too much salty food, are pregnant, or take certain medications.

Swollen or puffy arms or hands, as well as glossy, stretched skin, are common symptoms. Swelling can be relieved in a variety of methods, including resting down and elevating the swollen region using cushions, as well as moving and massaging the afflicted areas.

Apart from his recent health scare, Prince Charles is unlikely to see Archie and Lilibet any time soon. Prince Charles is looking forward to seeing his grandchildren, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are his youngest son and daughter-in-law.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's daughter have yet to meet the royal family because Markle gave birth to her in California. After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the United Kingdom, Prince Harry's family has not yet returned to England after moving to the United States in 2020.

Per EpicStream, it's unclear whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will go to the United Kingdom to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. They did, however, declare earlier this month that they would not be attending Prince Philip's burial ceremony on March 29.

Prince Charles, Camilla Walkabout, Meet a Viking Group in Ireland

Meanwhile, Prince Charles and Camilla appeared to be in high spirits as they arrived in Ireland's oldest city this afternoon to commemorate the year of the Platinum Jubilee. On the first day of their tour to the Irish Republic, they grinned as they landed in Waterford, in southern Ireland.

According to Daily Mail, Prince Charles and Camilla began their Republic tour with a stop at the city's Viking Triangle, where they were greeted by Reginald's Tower, the country's oldest municipal structure.

They watched with fascination as two actors, members of the Waterford Re-enactment group from Waterford's Medieval Museum, engaged in a simulated fight with swords and shields in front of a Viking longboat.

The heir to the throne also met with Joe Kelly, the Mayor of Waterford, and Eamonn McEneaney, the Director of the Waterford Medieval Museum. The Prince of Wales, 73, and his wife, The Duchess of Cornwall, spoke with Waterford Living History Society performers and reenactors.
