King Charles has arrived back in London ahead of his imminent hospital operation.
The 75-year-old awaits hospital treatment after being diagnosed with an "enlarged prostate" last Wednesday.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement last week that Charles had been forced to cancel engagements for the "corrective procedure".
The statement read: "In common with thousands of men each year, The King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate.
