King Charles is returning to a typical working week after he was taken to hospital to treat side effects from his cancer treatment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace announced the King is staying at Windsor Castle today after a ‘restful’ weekend at the family residence at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n

Charles will have a fully fledged diary of investitures, meetings, credentials and public engagements, with only one or two minor tweaks.<\/p>\n

The monarch \u2018required a short period of observation\u2019 before returning to Clarence House, Buckingham Palace said last week.<\/p>\n

He had to cancel an away day to Birmingham<\/a> in order to prioritise his recovery as a precautionary measure.<\/p>\n

Charles was last seen leaving his London residence at around 10.30am on Friday following the hospital stay.<\/p>\n

He appeared in good spirits as he sat in the back of a black Audi, wound down the window, smiled and waved at well-wishers.<\/p>\n

The King, 76, was said to be on good form at his London home where he is working on state papers and making calls from his study.<\/p>\n

A source described it as a \u2018most minor bump in a road that is very much heading in the right direction\u2019.<\/p>\n

The King’s return to normal scheduling comes as he gears up for a state visit to Italy on Monday next week.<\/p>\n

The King visited the London Clinic on Thursday morning and travelled to and from the hospital by car. He was not joined by the Queen during his brief stay.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace said in a statement: \u2018Following scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer, the King experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital.<\/p>\n

\u2018His Majesty\u2019s afternoon engagements were therefore postponed.<\/p>\n

\u2018His Majesty has now returned to Clarence House and as a precautionary measure, acting on medical advice, tomorrow;’s diary programme will also be rescheduled.<\/p>\n

\u2018His Majesty would like to send his apologies to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.\u2019<\/p>\n

Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer<\/a> in February 2024 and returned to public-facing duties in April despite still undergoing weekly treatment.<\/p>\n

He has had a busy run of engagements this month, including a reception for media on Wednesday evening after a visit to a soil exhibition in the day, and is due to make a historic state visit to Italy in 10 days\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

It is understood the overseas tour with the Queen from April 7-10, which will see Charles become the first British sovereign to address both houses of the Italian parliament, is expected to go ahead as planned.<\/p>\n

Last week, the King made a whirlwind three-day visit to Northern Ireland with Camilla, and earlier in March hosted high-profile audiences with key political figures including Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a>, outgoing Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and new Canadian PM Mark Carney.<\/p>\n

Charles, who is known for being a workaholic, is said to have thrived on carrying out public and state duties in recent months, seeing them as being of great benefit to his overall wellbeing.<\/p>\n

His long-haul visit to Australia and Samoa last autumn was described at the time as the \u2018perfect tonic\u2019 for the monarch.<\/p>\n

Since his diagnosis last year, the King\u2019s diary of engagements is understood to have been developed in full consultation with his medical team at all stages to protect and prioritise his recovery.<\/p>\n

Sources stressed the hospital visit was not a major development and no further updates are expected on the King\u2019s health, with any minor alterations to his diary that may be required next week being announced in due course.<\/p>\n

The King was due to meet ambassadors in audiences at Buckingham Palace on Thursday afternoon but these were postponed due to his stay in hospital.<\/p>\n

He also had a busy day planned in Birmingham on Friday, with four engagements back to back.<\/p>\n

The London Clinic was the same hospital where he was treated for an enlarged prostate in January last year, and also where the Princess of Wales had abdominal surgery the same month.<\/p>\n

The specifics of the King\u2019s side effects have not been disclosed but they are understood to be temporary and not uncommon with many medical treatments.<\/p>\n
