Well, wishes are broken in for King Charles after he was admitted to the hospital in the midst of his cancer treatment.
Charles, 76, was forced to cancel a series of engines in Birmingham today after the suffering of 'temporary side effects' that require a short period of observation in the London Clinic.
But he returned to Clarence House and worked 'away as usual' last night, with sources that describe it as a 'most small bump in a road that goes a lot in the right direction'.
The king has been able to undertake a full program of public and national tasks, and that position remains unchanged, sources emphasized. It is, however, understood that the state visit to Italy with the queen is expected on 7 April, will still continue as planned.
It will be Charles' first overseas trip of the year after a debilitating two -week foreign tour to Australia and Samoa in October, in which he temporarily pauses the treatment of cancer.
There was an outpouring of good wishes after the king's health update, who comes more than a year after his Majesty started treatment in February 2024 for an unknown form of cancer.
A spokeswoman for Sir Keir Starmer said that the Prime Minister 'wishes his Majesty the King, all the best' shortly after the announcement of the palace last night.
Royal commentator Angela Levin also sent her greetings to the king and wrote on social media: “He is a great man and I wish him the best.”

Buckingham Palace said on Thursday: 'After the planned and continuous medical treatment for cancer this morning, the king experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in the hospital.
'The afternoon assignments of his Majesty were therefore postponed. His Majesty has now returned to Clarence House and as a precautionary measure tomorrow's diary program is also planned again.

Sources insisted that there was' no drama 'and described the' short 'trip to the hospital as' connected to [his] Treatment program '.
But it is a caring reminder that, more than a year after his announcement was diagnosed with an unknown form of cancer, the king is still being treated while taking a busy diary of public assignments.
A source added: “As many can be responsible, such things are not unexpected with these types of conditions.”
Buckingham Palace has never revealed what cancer the king has – except that he was not connected to the prostate surgery that he underwent in January last year, which led to doctors discovering the disease – nor details of his treatment.

“He very much hopes that they can be moved in due course and offers his deepest apologies to anyone who had worked so hard to make the planned visit possible.”
Charles has hardly removed any time in the past year, apart from the first few weeks after his diagnosis and resumed the public tasks, first private and then in public, as quickly as possible, as quickly as possible.
Last fall he even undertook a debilitating foreign tour of two weeks to Australia and Samoa.
Sources believe that undertaking public and national tasks has been of great advantage for the overall well -being of the king and Charles is 'deeply grateful' for all the support, encouragement and friendly words of the many thousands he has met with it.
Buckingham Palace has indicated that there are probably no further updates, because what happened is 'no major development', but will advise on some small changes in next week's diary that may be needed in due course.
