King Charles III, aged 76, has temporarily stepped back from public engagements due to side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment. After a brief hospitalization for medical observation, he returned to Clarence House to continue his recovery. Buckingham Palace has assured the public that his treatment is progressing well, and his condition remains stable.
The King’s cancer diagnosis was revealed in February 2024 during treatment for an enlarged prostate. Despite health challenges, he has continued to fulfill royal duties when possible. While some engagements have been postponed, major plans, including a scheduled state visit to Italy, remain unchanged, demonstrating his commitment to his role.
