A butcher is selling King Charles III 'sausage fingers' to mark his accession to the throne.
Avon's Butchery in Auckland, New Zealand announced they would be stocking the specially-named sausages for a limited time.
It comes as increasing attention is turning to King Charles's 'swollen fingers' dubbed 'sausage fingers.'

Various pictures have been shared across social media of the swollen hands since Queen Elizabeth II's death.
Swollen fingers is something the King has suffered from for years with the former Prince of Wales jokingly calling them his 'sausage fingers' back in 2012 while on tour in Australia.
In a social media post, the butchery took the King's name for their sausage line in a light-hearted reference to recent photos.
The New Zealand butcher first posted a photo of King Charles III but removed his fingers from the image and jokingly replaced them with actual sausages.
They then posted a photo of the actual 'King Charles III sausage fingers' at the butchery with a caption reading: 'Limited stocks.'
It comes after a doctor explained that numerous health conditions could be responsible for the swelling fingers.
Dr Gareth Nye from the University of Chester told the Daily Star there were "loads of conditions" which could lead to swollen fingers but some were more likely than others, such as Oedema.
Dr Nye 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.
“To see if this is the cause, pressing the swollen area for about 15 seconds would cause a depression in the area.”
But Dr Nye made clear they were far from a sign of a major health issue for the UK's new King.
