Overview

  • Buckingham Palace said King Charles’s bloodshot eye was due to a subconjunctival hemorrhage, a harmless rupture of blood vessels.
  • Medical experts say such hemorrhages typically resolve on their own within one to two weeks without treatment.
  • Palace officials emphasized that the condition is unrelated to the king’s ongoing cancer treatment.
  • The 76-year-old monarch did not appear in discomfort and carried out the Windsor Castle ceremony and state banquet as scheduled.
  • Macron’s visit represents the first state trip by an EU head of state since Brexit and underscores efforts to reset UK–EU relations.
