King Charles was hospitalized yesterday due to side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment, but the news didn’t become public until 9 pm. The reason for the delay lies with his medical team and staff at Buckingham Palace. They were working together to decide whether a planned royal engagement should go ahead or be postponed.
According to a royal source, the decision was made to postpone the event to prioritize King Charles’ recovery. The palace also issued a statement saying that the king experienced temporary side effects after undergoing cancer treatment in the morning and required observation in hospital.
The King has since returned to Clarence House, but tomorrow’s engagements have been rescheduled as a precautionary measure on medical advice. In a gesture of goodwill, he apologized for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by the postponements.
