This week Royal plans shif.ted when the 76-year-old mo.narch made a br.ief hospital visit — without Queen Camilla. Buck.ingham Palace later iss.ued a statement.
King Charles III visited The London Clinic on Thursday after experiencing temporary side effects from cancer treatment, as per The Sun on March 27. Buckingham Palace confirmed that he returned to Clarence House the same day and postponed engagements scheduled for both Thursday and Friday.
“Following scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer this morning, The King experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital.”, a Palace spokesperson said.
According to officials, it wasn’t an emergency and the King went by car, not an ambulance. Sources reportedly described the episode as “a most minor bump in a road” and said his treatment is “very much heading in the right direction.” The Palace added that side effects like these are common.
Following medical advice, Charles postponed four public events in Birmingham and several diplomatic meetings, including a ceremony to receive credentials from ambassadors of three countries.
The King expressed regret over missing the scheduled engagements. “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,” the spokesperson added.King Charles III greets well-wishers at Ulster University’s Cancer Research Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on March 20, 2025 | Source: Getty Images
