King Charles admitted to hospital - breaking news

The King has been forced to cancel a string of engagements after being admitted to hospital today over his ongoing cancer treatmen

In and out.

"King Charles released from hospital after experiencing side effects from cancer treatment. The monarch required a "short period of observation," Buckingham Palace said Thursday"

According to Sky he’s not been admitted, but visited there after some side effects from treatment, he’s home and doing as advised.

He’s already back home so hopefully a temporary issue.

it's a relief that he's stabilised and home again.

Quite alarming

Home but it will have been an anxious time for him and his family. Living with cancer is a rollercoaster of emotions. I hope he feels better soon from the side effects. Chemo is brutal.

Thank goodness he is already home.

He’s been doing so well. Hopefully a side effect that’s easily managed.

DH said he thinks he's been doing too much.

I hope this is a temporary blip. Treatment can sometimes be brutal.

Adding my own concern and sincere wishes for his improvement. From being a figure IMO somewhat underestimated- we all thought Queen Elizabeth was an impossible act to follow - I find myself very fond of King Charles and full of admiration for the way he has made the role his own.

Hear hear, RosieandherMaw

RosieandherMaw - well said 👍

Is it normal for chemotherapy to go on for so long? His treatment seems to be very lengthy.

Yes agree with RosiesanderMaw and think he has been doing a great job.

Very fond of Charles, hope he is ‘spared’ (his own words) for many years to come, not least to give William and Catherine more time before they take on the role.

Good post, maw.

I’ve been speculating as to what type of cancer he has developed. I can’t help thinking it’s one of the more difficult types to diagnose, such as pancreatic. I know they are trialing new drugs and treatment all the time.

I wish HM Charles a long life.

Hear hear, RosieandherMaw

I am also very fond of Charles and wish him well. He and William have shown the human side of the monarchy by stripping away the rigid formality we were accustomed to. I like that and hope that he has years ahead of him to carry on his good work.

Wishing HRH well, cancer is a horrible path to be on.

I am another who thinks he is doing an excellent job as King

Charles is now HM, not HRH GrannyGravy.

It’s easy to forget as he was HRH for so long.

We all tend to refer to him as ‘Charles’, but would never have referred to the late Queen as ‘Elizabeth’, would we?

I’m guilty, I usually chat about ‘Charles’ as though he’s a mate!

DD messaged me just as the news was breaking. It read, ‘Charles is in hospital.’

I knew exactly who she meant.

Another big Charles fan here. I have long admired this warm hearted man and do hope he has many more years to reign.
I hope the rumours about pancreatic cancer are wrong, as that's a difficult one to beat.
Long live the King.
