The King has now returned to Clarence House, where he was said to be continuing to work on state papers and make calls from his study. He has cancelled a tour of Birmingham on Friday, acting on medical advice. Charles, 76, had planned to travel to the city for a busy schedule of engagements
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said meetings with three ambassadors on Thursday were also affected. "Tomorrow, he was due to undertake four public engagements in Birmingham and is greatly disappointed to be missing them on this occasion," the palace's statement added. "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."
The palace first announced the King's cancer diagnosis in February 2024. The details of his illness have not been disclosed. A palace source described the latest hospital admission as a "most minor bump in a road that is very much heading in the right direction". The palace did not provide further information over what his side effects were or why they required hospital admission.
Queen Camilla attended a reception in Wembley, north London on Thursday and did not join the King during his brief stay at hospital.
