According to officials, it wasn’t an emergency and the King went by car, not an ambulance. Sources
reportedly described the episode as “a most minor bump in a road” and said his treatment is “very much
heading in the right direction.” The Palace added that side effects like these are common.

Following medical advice, Charles postponed four public events in Birmingham and several diplomatic
meetings, including a ceremony to receive credentials from ambassadors of three countries.

The King expressed regret over missing the scheduled engagements. “He very much hopes that they can
be rescheduled in due course and offers his deepest apologies to all those who had worked so hard to
make the planned visit possible,” the spokesperson added.

By Thursday evening, the King had reportedly returned to work, reviewing state papers and making
official calls from his study at Clarence House. Queen Camilla did not accompany him to the hospital and
remained at Clarence House. The Palace gave no further details about her schedule.

Though some adjustments may be made to Charles’s upcoming engagements, the Palace still expects the
State Visit to Italy in April to proceed as planned.

The hospital visit came shortly after senior members of the royal family gathered at Westminster Abbey
for the annual Commonwealth Day service.
