Sarah, Duchess of York, diagnosed with skin cancer
The Queen has arrived at The London Clinic, where the King remains on Saturday after receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate.
Camilla was seen entering the hospital’s back entrance in a black Audi car at noon, followed by a Range Rover.
Charles spent the night at a central London hospital after undergoing treatment and was said to be “doing well”.
The monarch 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.
Queen Camilla appeared to be in good spirits as she smiled at reporters while leaving the hospital on Friday.
Buckingham Palace said last week that Charles, 75, would undergo the procedure this week for a benign condition which was common among men over 50.
ICYMI: What is an enlarged prostate?
One in every three men over the age of 50 will have symptoms of an enlarged prostate, which include needing to visit the toilet more frequently, with more urgency, and difficulty emptying the bladder.
An enlarged prostate, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, does not usually pose a serious threat to health, and it is not cancer.
But patients may need to have several tests for the condition to rule out the possibility they have another illness with similar symptoms, such as prostate cancer.
Surgery is usually only recommended for moderate to severe symptoms that have not responded to medicine, the NHS website says.
Treatment can include a number of procedures, including removing part of the prostate gland with a laser, water ablation using the pressure of the water to destroy prostate tissue, or urethral lift implants, which hold the enlarged prostate away from the urethra so it is not blocked.
Other options include a prostate artery embolisation, during which tiny plastic particles are injected into blood vessels to shrink the prostate gland by reducing its blood supply.

What are the symptoms of an enlarged prostate and how is it treated?
The announcement that King Charles III was admitted to a private hospital Friday to undergo a procedure for an enlarged prostate has sparked interest in what is an extremely common condition among older men.
The 75-year-old monarch is in good company. About half of men in their 50s have enlarged prostates and that prevalence climbs to more than 80 per cent of men by the time they reach age 80.
