King Charles is getting ready for his usual workweek just days after having to postpone engagements due to side effects from his cancer treatment. After experiencing “temporary side effects,” which Charles called a “bump in the road,” Charles decided to make a busy day off to Birmingham on Friday to focus on his recovery.
The King has arrived at Windsor Castle to begin his workweek, which includes a mix of public appearances, state obligations, and private meetings. He spent a restful weekend at Highgrove. According to what sources, one or two additional appointments for this week have been rescheduled to maintain a healthy balance in advance of the state visit to Italy the following week.
Since being diagnosed with cancer in February of last year, Charles, 76, has been receiving weekly hospital care. On Thursday, he was taken to the London Clinic for a number of hours for observation, but he later made his way home. He rested up at his Highgrove home on Friday, which is scheduled to hold a number of engagements, including Windsor Castle investitures, as well as other events. Highgrove has been described by King’s friends as “a place of great comfort” for Charles during his battle with cancer.
The King last seen leaving Clarence House on Friday morning as he was being driven to Highgrove, where he was last seen, and waved to residents of his London residence as he left.
Buckingham Palace has made an effort to ease tensions following the King’s hospital admission, with royal sources describing it as “a bump in the road” and insisting Charles’ treatment is still “very much headed in the right direction.” According to what sources, Charles’s planned overseas trip with the Queen from April 7 to April 10 is expected to go as planned. He will become the first British sovereign to address both houses of the Italian parliament.
After the royals’ scheduled visit to the Vatican, where they were scheduled to meet the Pope, the trip had to be rearranged. Pope Francis was discharged from the hospital last week after suffering from double pneumonia. He will need time to recover and recover.
Following a devastating earthquake in Myanmar on Saturday, the King sent a message to “the people of Myanmar” while recovering from his hospital visit. A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar at midday local time on Friday, claiming more than 1, 000 lives and injuring 2, 376 people, was Charles’ and the Queen’s shock and sadness in a message posted on social media.
“My wife and I were most heartbreakingly shocked and depressed when we learned of the devastating earthquake in Myanmar, which tragically caused thousands of lives to be lost, horrifying property damage, and other places of worship were destroyed,” Charles said. I have long admired your extraordinary resilience and spirit, and I am aware that Myanmar’s citizens are still dealing with a lot of hardship and tragedy in their lives.
Meanwhile, according to Downing Street, US President Donald Trump reportedly called PRIME Minister Keir Starmer and gave the King his “best wishes” yesterday. The president wished Charles “good health” during the discussion on Sunday evening, which covered the UK-US trade deal and the conflict in Ukraine, according to a Downing Street spokesman.
Trump was hosted by the late Queen during a state visit in 2019 by the King, who in an unprecedented gesture toward a US leader invited him to a second state visit to the UK at the end of February.
