King cancels engagements after 'experiencing temporary side effects' following cancer treatment

On Thursday, King Charles III, age 76, was briefly hospitalized in London for observation due to temporary side effects from a scheduled cancer treatment, as confirmed in a statement by Buckingham Palace.
King Charles III was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer early last year, leading to a period of reduced public duties.
Despite his diagnosis, Charles continued to fulfill state duties, including reviewing government papers and meeting with the prime minister, while also undertaking 161 days of royal engagements in his first year on the throne after succeeding his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022.
According to the palace statement, "His majesty has now returned to Clarence House and as a precautionary measure, acting on medical advice, tomorrows diary program will also be rescheduled," with apologies extended for any inconvenience.
King Charles' illness, along with the cancer diagnosis of his daughter-in-law, Kate, the Princess of Wales, who returned to public duties in late September after taking more than six months off, has added pressure to the evolving British monarchy.
