King Charles spent a second night at a central London hospital as he continued his recovery from surgery for an enlarged prostate.
Queen Camilla visited the monarch yesterday and was seen entering The London Clinic’s back entrance in a black Audi car at noon, followed by a Range Rover.
Charles was admitted on Friday and visited his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, who is also at the hospital recovering from successful abdominal surgery.
It is not known how long the monarch will stay at The London Clinic, although reports suggest he could remain there throughout the weekend.
Buckingham Palace said last week that Charles, 75, would undergo the procedure for a benign condition which was common among men over 50.

Harry calls for action over allegations of abuse at his African charity
Prince Harry has raised concerns about alleged human rights abuses committed by park rangers working for a conservation organisation he has links to.
The Duke of Sussex has “escalated” the “serious allegations” of abuses by guards who work for African Parks, a conservation NGO on whose board of directors the duke serves, after they were made to him in May by Survival International, a human rights organisation.
A Mail on Sunday investigation alleges guards working for the organisation have subjected indigenous peoples to a range of human rights abuses.

From polo injuries to puffy digits: The King’s health over the years
The King, who is in hospital receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate, has generally enjoyed good health – although he has been injured during sporting pursuits.
His condition is benign and he is set to have a corrective procedure, the Palace has previously said.
Previous health issues have included contracting coronavirus at the beginning of the pandemic and being knocked unconscious after being thrown from his horse at the polo, while he narrowly escaped an avalanche which killed a close friend.
In March 2020, Charles, then 71, caught Covid-19 before vaccinations were available but only suffered mild symptoms.
He caught Covid for a second time in February 2022 but was triple-vaccinated.
In 2008, he had a non-cancerous growth removed from the bridge of his nose in a minor, routine procedure and in 2003 had a hernia operation at the private King Edward VII’s Hospital in London, the medical institution favoured by the royals.
In 1980, the prince was thrown and kicked by his pony during a polo match at Windsor and needed six stitches.
A two-inch crescent scar on his left cheek bore witness to the incident.
On another occasion, he was hit in the throat, causing him to lose his voice for 10 days.
