Queen Camilla visits King in hospital for a third time
Queen Camilla has been spotted smiling warmly as she headed to dote on her husband King Charles in hospital three days after his successful operation.
The Queen also went to see her husband yesterday at a similar time, after he was admitted to the London Clinic on Friday to undergo surgery for an enlarged prostate.
A statement from Buckingham Palace read at the time: "The King was this morning admitted to a London hospital for scheduled treatment.
"His Majesty would like to thank all those who have sent their good wishes over the past week and is delighted to learn that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness."
On January 17 it was confirmed that Charles would be entering hospital for treatment for his prostate condition and he has been open with his diagnosis in order to encourage others to be aware.

The King is expected to be discharged soon and will take some time off from his royal duties to recover, with Queen Camilla set to take the reins at the helm of the Firm.
The London Clinic in Marylebone is also where Princess Kate is recuperating after she underwent abdominal surgery on January 16, with the new coming as a suprise to everyone.
The following day Kensington Palace confirmed the operation had been a success and that the Princess would be following medical advice by not returning to royal duties until after Easter.

Before his own operation the King popped in to his visit his daughter-in-law, who has received regular visits from Prince William but none yet so far from Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Queen Camilla arrived at the clinic with her husband on Friday in what was dubbed an "unusual" move, as royals in the past were generally not accompanied into hospital by their spouse.
ITV's royal editor Chris Ship noted the change in precedent, writing on X: "Queen Camilla has gone into the hospital with King Charles. Whilst this might seem normal for most families, it is very unusual for the Royal Family to accompany their spouse like this (the late Queen and Prince Philip always went into hospital on their own.)"
As her husband recovers Queen Camilla will be even more heavily relied upon to carry out royal engagements and represent the Firm at home.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said: "I think it is clear that with three senior working members of the Royal Family temporarily unable to carry out engagements, that the Queen will both continue her planned engagements and help King Charles recuperate after his operation.
"It is worth remembering that she is extremely tough and for many years remained silent when she was the object of so much criticism. She will help the King, who is her soulmate, regain his strength."
