The king, diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer last year, is undergoing treatment since February but has maintained an active public schedule recently. Despite the recent hospitalization, the palace reassured the public that these side effects are not unusual for patients undergoing such treatments, and Charles is expected to continue his engagement schedule, including a state visit to Italy next month.

While the palace has not shared updates on the specifics of the king's prognosis, they noted he remains on a positive recovery track. His daughter-in-law, Catherine, Princess of Wales, recently announced her own recovery from cancer, contrasting the more private approach of the king regarding his illness.
