The 76-year-old King Charles III, who was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024, was admitted to the hospital due to side effects from treatment. Buckingham Palace announced in a statement that the monarch has already returned to Clarence House, his residence in London. It has not yet been disclosed how long he stayed in the hospital or the type of cancer he has.

"He very much hopes that they can be rescheduled in due course and offers his deepest apologies to all those who had worked so hard to make the planned visit possible", stated the published announcement.

According to a source close to the royal family, King Charles III is in good condition and continues to work remotely, making calls from his office.

Despite the brief hospitalization, the planned visit of King Charles III and Queen Camilla to Italy next month is still expected to proceed as scheduled. Queen Camilla did not accompany her husband to the hospital.
