London: King Charles III on Tuesday carried out his first public engagement since a short spell in hospital last week for side effects from his cancer treatment.
Charles, 76, on Thursday postponed all his appointments for the rest of the day and for Friday on doctors’ advice after suffering some temporary symptoms, Buckingham Palace said.
Officials regarded the short hospital stay of a few hours as a “minor bump” in his medical journey.
In the first of his engagements for this week, Charles was all smiles as he handed out honours at Windsor Castle west of London to leading figures including reigning world heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson who was recognised with a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for her services to athletics.
Johnson-Thompson said afterwards the monarch “seemed in good spirits. You know it’s long, all day, because so many people are getting honoured today. — AFP
