King Charles admitted to hospital after suffering side effects of cancer treatment | BBC News
King Charles has spent a short period of time in hospital after experiencing temporary side effects during cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace has said.
The King has now returned to Clarence House, where he was said to be continuing to work on state papers and make calls from his study. He has cancelled a tour of Birmingham on Friday, acting on medical advice. Charles, 76, had planned to travel to the city for a busy schedule of engagements
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said meetings with three ambassadors on Thursday were also affected. “Tomorrow, he was due to undertake four public engagements in Birmingham and is greatly disappointed to be missing them on this occasion,” the palace’s statement added. “He very much hopes that they can be rescheduled in due course and offers his deepest apologies to all those who had worked so hard to make the planned visit possible.”
The palace first announced the King’s cancer diagnosis in February 2024. The details of his illness have not been disclosed. A palace source described the latest hospital admission as a “most minor bump in a road that is very much heading in the right direction”. The palace did not provide further information over what his side effects were or why they required hospital admission.
Queen Camilla attended a reception in Wembley, north London on Thursday and did not join the King during his brief stay at hospital.

What does a drought mean for you and is the UK running out of water?
It’s not just about grass turning brown, some reservoirs have been low on water.
These reservoirs are used to either generate power or sometimes they are treated to provided drinking water.
At this time of year, some of this is expected but summer so far has been exceptionally hot and dry across much of the UK.

US and Iran pause strikes for third night to make space for talks, US ambassador says | BBC News
President Donald Trump has paused attacks on Iran for the third night in a row to give diplomacy more time, the US ambassador to the UN said.
An Iranian army spokesperson said on Sunday that Tehran had halted “retaliatory” attacks in the region in response. The pause follows nearly two weeks of daily US strikes and tit-for-tat attacks, effectively unravelling the ceasefire struck in June.
Meanwhile, Iran and Oman held several rounds of technical talks in Tehran on Friday and Saturday to discuss management of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei.
Elsewhere, Ukraine has dismissed Iranian threats of retaliation, following Kyiv’s targeting of an Iranian cargo vessel in the Caspian Sea on Saturday.
