KING Charles has had a “restful” weekend after his hospital drama and is returning to work this week.
Charles, 76, who pulled out a string of engagements due to side effects caused by his cancer treatment, had retired to his country home Highgrove.

Palace aides today say the King is preparing for a “usual working week”.
But some appointments have been postponed ahead of next week’s State Visit to Italy.
He will be seen back at work tomorrow with an investiture at Windsor Castle.
On Wednesday, he will hold meetings at Buckingham Palace and attend his regular meeting with the Prime Minister.
Then on Thursday, exactly a week after his unscheduled visit to The London Clinic, he will return to public duty with engagements in London and Windsor, the palace says.
He will also host credentials with three foreign ambassadors.
And on Friday prepare for next week’s four day trip to Italy with Camilla.
However “one or two” appointments have been rescheduled to “ensure an appropriate balance” ahead of the State Visit.
The King has been having treatment for cancer for more than a year.
He visited hospital last Thursday after side effects from his treatment and pulled out of meetings with ambassadors and day of engagements in Birmingham.
