King Charles is set to resume his public duties this week, following a brief hospital stay . The King's schedule includes a blend of public appearances, state duties, and private meetings, commencing at Windsor Castle. A few appointments have been adjusted to accommodate his recovery, ensuring he is prepared for the upcoming state visit to Italy with the Queen next week.
On Friday, Charles was seen leaving Clarence House in London , accompanied by the Queen, after spending the night there. This followed what was described as a "minor bump" in his cancer treatment journey. He experienced temporary side effects after a treatment session at the London Clinic on Thursday morning, which necessitated a short period of observation in the hospital.
The King then had to cancel a planned visit to Birmingham on Friday to focus on his recovery. Buckingham Palace said the cancellation was a “precautionary measure” taken on medical advice. “His Majesty would like to send his apologies to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.
” Diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024 , Charles returned to public-facing duties in April, while continuing his weekly treatment. It is understood the side effects, of which specifics have not been disclosed, were not uncommon with many medical treatments. The King was said to be in good spirits on Friday, working on state papers and making calls from his study at Clarence House.
