  1. ***The Telegraph Reports:***

    The King was admitted to hospital on Thursday after experiencing adverse side effects connected to his cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace has announced.

    The monarch was discharged following “a short period of observation” but was forced to cancel a series of engagements due to take place in Birmingham on Friday.

    Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Following scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer this morning, The King experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital. 

    “His Majesty’s afternoon engagements were therefore postponed.

    “His Majesty has now returned to Clarence House and as a precautionary measure, acting on medical advice, tomorrow’s diary programme will also be rescheduled.

    “His Majesty would like to send his apologies to all those who may be inconvenienced
    or disappointed as a result.”

    The King was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer last February, following treatment for an enlarged prostate and has undergone weekly treatment ever since.

  2. Hope nothing serious, wishing him a speedy recovery but…. Any excuse for not visiting Birmingham…

  3. I don’t know the guy. Lots of people suffer from cancer and I wish them all well.

  4. Tax sponger gets health treatment paid for him asap while tax payers on waiting lists

  5. Sad to hear, might seem William will be stepping up sooner rather than later. All the best!

  6. Cancer treatment caused my mum to get get sepsis. I didn’t know it was a possibility. Wishing him the best as seeing how it affects first hand is really upsetting to see. I know how brutal the treatment is. Wish I could cure her.

  7. American here. I didn’t realize he was still undergoing cancer treatments at this point. I gotta imagine his prognosis at this point isn’t the greatest? I don’t have any particular hate or love (I like some things about him, don’t like other things) for the guy, but hope he gets better or least not too rough a road ahead. Cancer doesn’t care about money and titles. Cancer doesn’t care if you have the best health care money and influence can buy.

  8. Shame the rest of us cant get equal treatment like the Royal parasites get.

  9. I don’t know if we can afford another state funeral and coronation at the same time we’re cutting benefits so we can buy more guns

    The optics might not be great

  10. They’d better not spend billions on another funeral/coronation again.

  11. It activated his dormant Erdrich genes

  12. He shouldn’t have rushed back to work so soon…..oh wait
