Thu Mar 27 22:13:03 UTC 2025: ## King Charles Hospitalized After Experiencing Cancer Treatment Side Effects
**London, March 28, 2025** – King Charles III was hospitalized on Thursday for observation after experiencing temporary side effects related to his ongoing cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace announced. The 76-year-old monarch, who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer over a year ago, has been undergoing treatment while maintaining a busy schedule of royal duties.
His engagements for Thursday afternoon and Friday were cancelled as a precautionary measure, following medical advice. The Palace stated that the King has since returned to Clarence House and that Saturday’s engagements will also be rescheduled. He issued an apology for any inconvenience caused.
The King’s health has been under scrutiny since his diagnosis was revealed last year. Despite undergoing treatment, he has continued to fulfill many of his royal responsibilities, including reviewing government papers and meeting with the Prime Minister. However, the demands of the role, which included 161 days of engagements in his first year, have been taxing.
This news comes as the British monarchy continues to navigate a period of transition following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. King Charles has been working to ensure the institution’s continued relevance in a modern society. The King’s illness also follows a similar diagnosis for his daughter-in-law, Kate, Princess of Wales, who took a six-month leave from public duties before her return in late September.
