Palace issues update after King Charles sparks health concern with blood in eye

Buckingham Palace has released an update regarding King Charles's health after he sparked serious concern with blood in eye during a grand reception for French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday.

The 76-year-old monarch left fans worried as he suffered from a visibly bloodshot right eye, sparking health fear during a grand reception for the couple.

Amid speculation about the King's health, a spokesperson confirmed the bloodshot appearance was due to a burst blood vessel that developed overnight.

However, they quashed rumours and speculations about the King's health, adding that it was unrelated to his ongoing cancer treatment and there was no cause for alarm.

The monarch appeared alongside Queen Camilla and First Lady Brigitte Macron to mark the beginning of the three-day diplomatic trip. The visit will focus on celebrating 1,000 years of "shared history and culture" between Britain and France.

The visit marks a significant diplomatic engagement between the two nations, with both heads of state and their spouses participating in the Windsor welcome ceremony.

Following the ceremonial welcome, The King and Queen escorted the French President and his wife into Windsor Castle.

A formal lunch in the State Dining Room will follow, attended by various members of the Royal Family, before the royals show their guests a specially curated exhibition of French-related items from the Royal Collection in the Green Drawing Room.
