Charles (75) was admitted to The London Clinic on Friday after officials took the unusual step of disclosing that he had an enlarged prostate, although the condition was benign.

Camilla left the hospital in a black Audi at around 3:10 PM local time. A small crowd of well-wishers gathered on the pavement as she departed.

The king's daughter-in-law is also currently at the clinic following abdominal surgery.

Catherine, Princess of Wales (42), who is the wife of heir to the throne Prince William, is on her 13th day of an expected two-week stay.

The king's announcement has prompted a surge in internet searches for the term "enlarged prostate" on the state-run National Health Service (NHS) website.

The charity Prostate Cancer UK said it had seen a more than 100 percent increase in people using its online risk checker on Thursday compared with Wednesday.

"The nature of these things [is] if it becomes public knowledge, it will lead to more men seeking help. That's a good thing," said consultant urological surgeon Ian Eardley.
