King Charles III was briefly hospitalized Thursday amid ongoing medical treatment for cancer, according to Buckingham Palace.

Charles’ hospitalization was a result of “temporary side effects” he experienced after undergoing what the palace described as “scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer” on Thursday morning.

After a “short period of observation” in the hospital, the 76-year-old king returned to Clarence House, his royal residence in London, according to the palace.

As a result of the hospitalization, Charles’s engagements on Thursday afternoon and Friday were postponed.

“His Majesty would like to send his apologies to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result,” the palace said in a statement Thursday evening.
