<p id=”par-7_35″><a href=”https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/king-charles-experiences-temporary-side-effects-during-scheduled-medical-2025-03-27/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reuters</a> reports that King Charles was briefly hospitalized on Thursday, Mar. 27, 2025, after reportedly experiencing side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment. Engagements scheduled for the subsequent day were canceled as a precautionary measure.</p>
<p id=”par-8_35″>A royal source told Reuters the king experienced a hiccup in his cancer recovery. They told Reuters Charles’ hospitalization was the “most minor bump in the road that’s very much heading in the right direction.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_43″>A palace spokesperson subsequently revealed, “His Majesty was due to receive credentials from the ambassadors of three different nations this afternoon. Tomorrow, he was due to undertake four public engagements in Birmingham and is greatly disappointed to be missing them on this occasion.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_32″>“He very much hopes that they can be rescheduled in due course. He offers his deepest apologies to all those who had worked so hard to make the planned visit possible.” </p>
<p id=”par-11_26″>This health hiccup comes just over a year after Charles was diagnosed with an <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/real-reason-king-charles-never-revealed-type-cancer-diagnosed.html/?swcfpc=1″>undisclosed type of cancer</a>. He has been receiving treatment since February 2024.</p>

<p id=”par-12_34″>King Charles III’s health crisis has been marked by a series of significant medical events and treatments. His struggles began only a year and a half after ascending to the throne in September 2022.</p>
<p id=”par-13_22″>In January 2024, Charles received treatment for an enlarged prostate. He was admitted to the London Clinic and discharged three days later.</p>
<p id=”par-14_30″>In early February 2024, Buckingham Palace revealed that Charles was diagnosed with cancer. However, they emphasized the type of cancer the king had was not directly related to his prostate.</p>
<p id=”par-15_39″>By March, Charles began a series of limited engagements, beginning with an Easter service at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. The king slowly progressed to more public engagements in April 2024 and maintained a busy workload ever since.</p>
<p id=”par-16_44″>Throughout this period, King Charles demonstrated resilience, maintaining his royal responsibilities while undergoing significant medical treatments. Despite the challenges posed by his health, he continued to fulfill his public duties, attending key events and engagements, and offering a reassuring presence to the British people.</p>
<p id=”par-17_45″>Charles’s ability to balance the demands of the monarchy with his personal health struggles has been a testament to his unwavering commitment to his role. As he faces ongoing treatment, King Charles remains focused on his responsibilities, inspiring many with his determination and strength. </p>
