King Charles seen leaving Clarence House as he faces prostate treatment at London Clinic where Kate Middleton is resting
KING Charles has been seen arriving at hospital with Camilla for prostate treatment at the London Clinic where Princess Kate is resting.
The monarch has just entered the private clinic in Marylebone after arriving back in London from Sandringham yesterday.
Charles, 75, has been absent from royal duties while he awaits surgery for an "enlarged prostate".
Buckingham Palace revealed last week that Charles had been forced to cancel engagements for the "corrective procedure".
At the weekend Queen Camilla told well-wishers in Swindon that Charles is "fine".
A statement last week 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."
Charles' scare was revealed the same day Kensington Palace announced Princess Kate had undergone an abdominal surgery.
The Princess of Wales underwent the planned operation on January 16 and is recovering at the private London Clinic.
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.
But it is understood that their three children have not joined him at her bedside.
A source said that William and Kate want her absence to feel as normal as possible for the youngsters.
George, Louis and Charlotte are all understood to have been at school throughout Kate's time in hospital.
It is also understood that the royal children spent Sunday with their doting grandparents on Kate's side in the comfort of the Middleton family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire.
Kensington Palace announced on January 17 that Kate had undergone the surgery, but it is understood that it was not related in any way to cancer.
The princess is expected to stay at the private London Clinic for up to 14 days before going home to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.
She will likely be counting on the support of her close pals, ranging from old school friends to palace insiders.
In another health fright for the royals, it was revealed last week that Sarah Ferguson has been battling an aggressive skin cancer.
