The Queen claimed Prince Charles had "interesting" hands as a baby as doctors try to explain the swollen appearance of the new King's finers.
When Charles was born in November 1948, the Queen wrote a letter to her former music teacher, outlining the fact her newborn had an 'interesting pair of hands for a baby'.
Following the now King's birth, his mother, Princess Elizabeth spent days in the Palace's Buhl Room - which was specially converted into a well-equipped surgery. Afterwards, as new mothers were encouraged to do, she spent ten days in bed recuperating and breast-fed her son.
