King Charles went into hospital today after experiencing “temporary side effects” as part of his continuing medical treatment for cancer, Buckingham Palace has said.
The monarch underwent scheduled treatment for cancer this morning, which required “a short period of observation in hospital”, according to a palace statement.
“His Majesty’s afternoon engagements were therefore postponed,” a spokesperson said. “His Majesty has now returned to Clarence House and as a precautionary measure, acting on medical advice, tomorrow’s diary programme will also be rescheduled.”
The king would like to sent his apologies to “all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed” as a result of his decision to postpone and reschedule his diary, the statement added.
