The spokesperson added that Charles, 76, had already returned to Clarence House but would be rescheduling all of his engagements for Friday “as a precautionary measure, acting on medical advice.”

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

According to the Sun, the monarch was taken to the hospital by car, not by an emergency vehicle.
