King Charles Photographed After Health Setback Related to Cancer Treatment
King Charles III, aged 76, was seen leaving his residence, Clarence House, in London on March 28, 2025. He was photographed while being driven towards Buckingham Palace, waving to well-wishers despite recent health concerns, PEOPLE reported.
His hospitalization occurred on March 27 due to a negative reaction related to routine cancer treatment. According to a statement from Buckingham Palace, he required a brief observation period at the London Clinic for "temporary side effects." Initially, King Charles planned engagements in Birmingham on March 28. However, due to his health, the meetings with the ambassadors scheduled for March 27 were postponed. The palace issued apologies for any inconvenience these changes caused, citing medical advice as the reason for rescheduling his diary.

Sources indicate that setbacks during treatment can occur, with one royal source describing the incident as "the most minor bump in the road." King Charles has been receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer since February 2024, when he first announced the diagnosis.
After his hospital visit, he returned to Clarence House. He reportedly resumed his duties, addressing state papers and making phone calls.
King Charles was last publicly seen on March 26, visiting the "Soil: The World at Our Feet" exhibition at Somerset House. While his upcoming agenda is being reassessed, aides have confirmed that his anticipated trip to Italy with Queen Camilla on April 7 remains unchanged.
He had previously revealed his cancer diagnosis following a hospital stay on February 6. This procedure did not entail prostate cancer, as clarified by Buckingham Palace.
The King made a conscious choice not to disclose the specific type of his cancer. Buckingham Palace released a statement expressing gratitude towards his medical team for their prompt care, emphasizing his positivity regarding treatment. The announcements aimed to curb speculation and provide clarity for those worldwide affected by cancer.
