The Buckingham Palace said King Charles III “required a short period of observation in hospital" after experiencing “temporary side effects" from a scheduled cancer treatment. The 76-year-old monarch has returned to Clarence House after cancelling his engagements on medical advice, the palace said in a statement.

“His Majesty would like to send his apologies to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result," the palace said. King Charles was to receive credentials from the ambassadors of three countries and undertake four public engagements in Birmingham, when he was hospitalised.

A palace spokesperson said, “He very much hopes that they can be rescheduled in due course and offers his deepest apologies to all those who had worked so hard to make the planned visit possible."

A spokesperson for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he “wishes His Majesty the King all the very best."

King Charles’ Cancer Diagnosis

King Charles revealed in January 2024 that he had cancer- keeping the type undisclosed. Following this, he briefly stepped away from public duties as he received treatment. Thousands of people sent the monarch messages of support when he was first diagnosed, which he said “reduced me to tears."

“Such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement," King Charles had then said. He returned to public duties fully in April 2024.
