Queen Camilla spotted visiting King in hospital for third day after surgery
Queen Camilla has been spotted visiting King Charles for the third day following his prostate surgery.
Earlier this month, the monarch revealed he had suffered an enlarged prostate, and would undergo a corrective procedure. The shocking news came on the same day that Kensington Palace said that Kate, the Princess of Wales, had undergone successful abdominal surgery.
Charles remains at the London Clinic, and today marks the third day Camilla has visited to check in on him. She arrived by black Audi today and seemed in good spirits after she previously seemingly told well-wishers that Charles was doing “fine”. She later left at about 3.10pm.
Camilla visited twice on Friday, first early afternoon, and then later that evening, at the same medical facility where Kate remains. The Queen previously told people inside the clinic that the King was "doing well" after the procedure.
Last week, Buckingham Palace said: "In common with thousands of men each year, The King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate. His Majesty's condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure. The King’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation."

It is believed that Charles visited Kate ahead of his own surgery, and also that the king went public with his diagnosis to encourage other men suffering similar symptoms to come forward too.

finding it difficult to start peeing
straining to pee
having a weak flow of urine
"stop-start" peeing
needing to pee urgently and/or frequently
needing to get up frequently in the night to pee
accidentally leaking urine (urinary incontinence)
The news of Charles’ surgery was revealed barely two hours after Kensington Palace announced Kate had undergone successful abdominal surgery. The 42-year-old future queen underwent the planned procedure and will be in hospital for up to two weeks - and away from public royal duties until Easter.

A previous statement from Kensington Palace said: "Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery. The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery.
"Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter. The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.
"Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness' progress when there is significant new information to share. The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible."
Then, following this, it was revealed that Sarah Ferguson had revealed a malignant melanoma diagnosis. What made the news even tougher was that it came just six months after her breast cancer battle. Prince Andrew’s ex-wife had to undergo an eight-hour operation last July to remove one of her breasts after doctors discovered the disease in a routine mammogram which she nearly missed.
