LONDON: Buckingham Palace has shared the first photo of King Charles after the monarch’s brief stay at the hospital amid cancer treatment side effects.
King Charles last week was forced to cancel his appointments after suffering “side effects” from his cancer treatment.
“Following scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer this morning, the king experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital,” Palace said.
Now, as the King has resumed his royal duties, Palace has shared his photos.
“A wonderful morning at Windsor Castle as The King presented honours to recognise incredible people at an Investiture,” the palace captioned the photos posted on Instagram.
During the investiture ceremony, Alan Titchmarsh received a CBE for services to horticulture and to charity. Professor Sir Wayne McGregor received a Knighthood for services to dance and Marianela Nuñez received an OBE for services to dance.
King Charles says “Congratulations to all those who received honours today!”
The monarch, who announced his cancer diagnosis in February 2024 following surgery for an enlarged prostate, is set to attend several events in the coming days, including state duties and private meetings.
He will also participate in celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of Papua New Guinea’s independence and a public event honoring an aviation charity.
His week is expected to conclude with his regular audience with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Meanwhile, Charles and his medical team are planning a health-conscious schedule to ensure he and Queen Camilla can proceed with their visit to Italy next week.
