The King “required a short period of observation in hospital” on Thursday after experiencing side effects from his cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace has said.
Charles, 76, cancelled his engagements in Birmingham on Friday on medical advice to prioritise his recovery and is now back at Clarence House.
Palace sources emphasised that there is “no drama” and the move was described as a precaution to “protect and prioritize his continued very positive recovery.”
One described it as a "most minor bump in a road that is very much heading in the right direction".
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 palace did not provide further information over what his side effects were.
The King was taken to the London Clinic on Thursday morning that has cared for him previously and he travelled to and from the hospital by car in the usual way.
The Queen did not join The King during his brief visit to hospital.
