King Charles Hosts First Event Post-Hospital Stay Amid Cancer Treatment

King Charles III has resumed public engagements following a brief hospital stay due to side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment. He presided over an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, where he honored notable individuals such as gardener Alan Titchmarsh and athlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson. The King, who is 76 years old, had to cancel a busy day of engagements to prioritize his recovery but has plans for several upcoming duties, including a state visit to Italy. His recent health scare sparked concern among the public, but he quickly reassured them by appearing in good spirits following his hospital observation. Charles has been managing his cancer diagnosis, which was made public in early 2024, alongside the health challenges faced by his family. While specifics about his cancer remain private, Buckingham Palace noted that he has been receiving outpatient treatment since his diagnosis.
