Buckingham Palace shared in a statement that the hospitalisation came amid "scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer" and that the King "required a short period of observation in hospital" on Thursday morning. His afternoon engagements were postponed "as a precautionary measure" and "acting on medical advice". King Charles has since returned to Clarence House, his residence in London. "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.”.
