Health challenges lead to the cancellation of long-standing vacation plans and official engagements.
King Charles III has postponed two international trips and reduced his official engagements as he continues treatment for cancer, according to reports from Buckingham Palace.
The monarch, who is 76 years old, has canceled a yearly walking vacation in Romania—an event he has participated in for 45 years—and a planned trip to a health resort in Africa with Queen Camilla.
Sources close to the Royal Family indicate that the King is currently residing at Highgrove, his country home, following an unexpected hospital admission last Thursday.
This hospitalization was primarily due to complications arising from medication, which palace officials characterized as a 'minor setback.' As a result of his health concerns, King Charles has canceled formal appointments scheduled in Birmingham and London.
Despite these setbacks, Buckingham Palace has stated that the King remains in 'good spirits' and is expected to resume his royal duties soon, although with a reduced workload.
Furthermore, it has been revealed that King Charles will not meet with
Pope Francis during his upcoming state visit to Italy in early April, attributed to ongoing health issues.
Officials have not elaborated further on the nature of the King’s health but continue to stress that he is managing the situation.
