King Charles Resumes Public Duties After Brief Hospitalization
The monarch returned to work at Windsor Castle following treatment side effects as preparations continue for next week’s state visit to Italy.
- King Charles presided over an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on April 1, marking his return to public engagements after a brief hospital stay on March 27.

- The King spent a restful weekend at Highgrove before resuming duties, with his medical team closely monitoring his health and adjusting his schedule as needed.
- Some engagements have been rescheduled to prioritize his recovery ahead of a state visit to Italy starting April 7, though a planned Vatican visit has been postponed due to Pope Francis' health.
- The King is expected to carry out regular duties this week, including his weekly meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other official engagements at Buckingham Palace.
