# King Charles required a short period of observation in hospital on Thursday, after experiencing temporary side-effects due to his ongoing medical treatment for cancer. The 76-year-old monarch was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February last year. Buckingham Palace says as a precautionary measure and acting on medical advice, the King’s diary programme for today will be rescheduled. King Charles and Queen Camilla are set for a state visit to Italy in just over a week.
