Shocking Reason Why Buckingham Palace Waited Until 9 PM to Announce King Charles’ Hospitalization
King Charles was hospitalized for several hours yesterday after experiencing side effects from his ongoing cancer treatment. The news broke at exactly 9pm UK time when Buckingham Palace lifted its media embargo, though the King had actually been discharged earlier in the day.
The delayed announcement came as royal officials and medical staff spent hours determining whether Charles could still attend a scheduled engagement. They ultimately decided to postpone all appearances for the next 48 hours on doctors’ orders. A palace insider stressed this was purely precautionary, saying the King’s recovery remains “on positive track” and describing the hospital visit as “routine monitoring.”
In its official statement, the Palace explained: “After this morning’s scheduled cancer treatment, His Majesty experienced temporary side effects requiring brief hospital observation. He has since returned to Clarence House and will reschedule upcoming engagements on medical advice. The King extends his sincere apologies to all affected.”
Charles is said to be disappointed about postponing events but remains determined to resume duties soon. Palace aides emphasized this minor setback hasn’t changed his overall positive prognosis. The 75-year-old monarch continues receiving outpatient treatment while carefully balancing health needs with royal responsibilities.
