Buckingham Palace has said Britain's King Charles “required a short period of observation in a medical facility” after experiencing side effects from cancer treatment.
Charles cancelled a planned trip to Birmingham on Friday to focus on his recovery and is now back at Clarence House.
The source described it as “a minor setback on a path that is moving in the right direction.”
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Following planned and ongoing treatment for cancer this morning, The King experienced temporary side effects which required short-term observation in hospital.
“His Majesty's daytime activities were therefore postponed.
“His Majesty is now back at Clarence House and as a precaution, following medical advice, tomorrow's day programme will also be postponed.
“His Majesty would like to apologise to anyone who may have experienced inconvenience or disappointment as a result.”
Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024 and resumed public duties in April despite continuing weekly treatment.
He has had a host of events this week, including a press reception, a visit to a soils exhibition, and is due to make a historic state visit to Italy in just 10 days.
King Charles was due to meet ambassadors at an audience at Buckingham Palace on Thursday afternoon, but the event has been postponed.
