King Charles Resumes Duties After Hospitalization, Palace Communication Under Scrutiny

The monarch's brief hospital stay for cancer treatment side effects was not directly communicated to Prince Harry, highlighting a shift in royal family communication practices.

  • King Charles III was briefly hospitalized on March 27 due to temporary side effects from ongoing cancer treatment, leading to postponed royal engagements.
  • The King has since returned to Clarence House and resumed his duties as of April 1 while continuing his treatment regimen.
  • Prince Harry reportedly learned of his father's hospitalization through media reports rather than direct communication from Buckingham Palace.
  • Sources indicate the decision to withhold information from Prince Harry was made to avoid unnecessary drama and concerns about the King’s health.
  • This marks a notable departure from previous practices, as Prince Harry was promptly informed during King Charles' initial cancer diagnosis in February 2024.
