King Charles III was briefly admitted to the hospital on Thursday due to temporary side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace announced. Following his visit, he returned to Clarence House, where he resumed work.
The King, 76, canceled a planned visit to Birmingham on Friday, where he was scheduled for four engagements, acting on medical advice. While the palace did not disclose the specific side effects, sources described the incident as a minor setback.
Despite his treatment, King Charles has maintained an active schedule, including recent diplomatic engagements and public appearances. His upcoming state visit to Italy in April is still expected to proceed, with some adjustments.
