King Charles III experienced temporary side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment, leading to a brief hospital visit on Thursday, March 27, 2025. Buckingham Palace confirmed the King’s return to Clarence House after the short hospital stay, where he continued to work on state papers and make calls from his study. However, the 76-year-old monarch has canceled his planned tour of Birmingham the following day, in line with medical advice.
In a statement, the palace revealed that several scheduled meetings with ambassadors were also affected. The King expressed regret over missing the Birmingham engagements and hopes they can be rescheduled in the future.
While specific details of the side effects remain undisclosed, the palace reassured the public, describing this setback as a “minor bump” in the King’s recovery. Queen Camilla attended a separate event in Wembley, not accompanying the King during his hospital visit.
Despite this interruption, the palace emphasized that the King’s cancer treatment is progressing well, and he is expected to return to his full schedule soon. In recent weeks, he has remained active, engaging in international diplomacy and attending various public events.
