Charles, 75, underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate at the London Clinic on Friday.

The monarch was treated at the same hospital where his daughter-in-law the Princess of Wales is staying after undergoing abdominal surgery.

Pictured visiting the King on Sunday, Camilla, 76, appeared sprightly as she made her way to the London Clinic for the third day in a row.

Camilla has visited Charles four times since he was admitted to hospital - making two trips on Friday.

On Sunday, she arrived in a black Audi as she was pictured smiling from the front seat.

It comes after the Queen told reporters "he's fine, thank you" as she left on Friday afternoon.

The King has spent two nights in the hospital so far, it is not known how long he is expected to stay in the clinic but initial reports claimed it was just for the weekend.

It is understood that Charles went in to see Kate this morning before going in for his own treatment.

The King underwent a corrective procedure after being diagnosed with the benign condition - and has postponed his engagements for a recuperation period.

Camilla stayed by Charles’ side as she accompanied him for his morning procedure on Friday.

In a statement last Wednesday 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 understood Charles was keen to share the details of his diagnosis to encourage other men who may be experiencing symptoms to get checked in line with public health advice.

Kensington Palace announced on January 17 that Kate had undergone the surgery, but confirmed it was not related in any way to cancer.

Prince William has visited Kate at the London Clinic every day since the surgery on January 16. It is understood that their three children have not joined him at her bedside.
