Palace issues heartbreaking update on King Charles amid cancer treatment

Buckingham Palace raised concerns among royal fans after a key health update on King Charles. 

The monarch, who was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024, was forced to postpone engagements after a brief visit to the hospital due to side effects of cancer treatment. 

As per Palace's statement, "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. His Majesty's afternoon engagements were therefore postponed."

The royal family's spokesperson shared that the King has now returned to Clarence House and on the advice of his medical team, his official engagements will also be rescheduled. 

The King "would like to send his apologies to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result."

Speaking of his postponed royal duties, the Palace stated, "His Majesty was due to receive Credentials from the Ambassadors of three different nations this afternoon. Tomorrow, he was due to undertake four public engagements in Birmingham and is greatly disappointed to be missing them on this occasion."

Moreover, the spokesperson shared that the King "hopes" his team "can reschedule" his engagements in due course and "offers his deepest apologies to all those who had worked so hard to make the planned visit possible."
