Queen visits King Charles in hospital after surgery on enlarged prostate
The Queen arrived at the London Clinic to visit King Charles, who remains in the hospital following his enlarged prostate procedure.
Camilla was seen entering the hospital's back entrance in a black Audi car at noon, followed by a Range Rover, before leaving this afternoon. Charles arrived at the hospital - the same medical facility where the Princess of Wales is being cared for following her abdominal surgery - on Friday morning with Camilla by his side.
She returned for a second visit lasting around an hour-and-a-half that day and left just before 8pm. The Queen told people inside the clinic that the King was "doing well" after the procedure.

It is not known how long Charles will spend in hospital but reports suggest he could remain there over the weekend.
