In a recent turn of events, King Charles and Princess Catherine have both been discharged from the London Clinic after undergoing treatment for separate health issues.
The royal family has been under the spotlight, with well-wishers from around the globe sending their prayers and messages of support.
King Charles was admitted to the hospital for a three-night stay due to an enlarged prostate.
Upon his discharge, the 75-year-old monarch was seen waving to the crowds gathered outside the hospital, a reassuring sight for those worried about his health.
Accompanying him was his wife, Queen Camilla, who had been a pillar of support throughout his treatment.
Meanwhile, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, also returned home to Windsor after being hospitalised for abdominal surgery.
The 42-year-old princess, known for her active lifestyle and commitment to public service, underwent the planned surgery on 16 January for an undisclosed condition.
Kensington Palace was quick to reassure the public that her condition was not cancerous but refrained from providing further details, respecting the family's privacy.
The Princess's hospitalisation has led to a temporary pause in her public duties, which are not expected to resume until after Easter.
This has led to a reshuffling of responsibilities within the royal family. Her husband and the heir to the throne, Prince William, has postponed his engagements to look after their three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.
The Princess of Wales has previously been hospitalised due to severe morning sickness during her pregnancies.
In a statement released by the palace, the royal couple expressed their gratitude to the medical team who took care of the Princess of Wales during her stay at the hospital.
'The Prince and Princess wish to say a huge thank you to the entire team at The London Clinic, especially the dedicated nursing staff, for the care they have provided,' the palace said.
‘The Wales family continues to be grateful for the well wishes they have received from around the world.’
