• 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.
