Britain’s King Charles III has suspended his planned public visit to Birmingham in England, originally scheduled for Friday, due to side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday.

The King began treatment for cancer in February 2024. According to the palace, the recent side effects required a short hospital stay for observation. He has since returned to Clarence House in London.
