King Charles waves to crowd as he's spotted back out and about following surgery

This comes six days after King Charles was discharged from The London Clinic, following corrective surgery for an enlarged prostate.

The monarch was admitted to the same hospital where Princess Kate was recuperating, on Friday, January 26.

On January 17, Buckingham Palace released a statement confirming the monarch would undergo surgery.

The statement read: "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."

On Monday, January 29, the King was photographed leaving The London Clinic beside his wife, Queen Camilla.

This came as the Queen was frequently updating royal fans with how the King was feeling following his operation.

Every working day this week Queen Camilla has performed a royal engagement, where she would inform the public about her husband's convalescence.

For example, during an engagement in Scotland, Camilla said: “He’s fine, thank you very much. Looking forward to getting back to work.”
