Charles was pictured sporting a small white plaster on the right-side of the bridge of his nose following the treatment.

Clarence House would not disclose details about the procedure, only stating it was "a routine and minor matter".

It is thought the procedure was performed late on Thursday afternoon after the Prince had met the Dalai Lama at Clarence House in London.

However, Charles showed no signs of discomfort as he performed a tree planting ceremony in the grounds of his home at Highgrove, near Tetbury in Gloucestershire.

The royal family have a history of receiving treatment for growths on their faces.

Charles' father the Duke of Edinburgh underwent a minor procedure in 1996 to erase a small benign growth on his nose.

While in January 2003 the Queen had minor - non-cancerous - growths removed from her face by surgeons.

During the tree planting event Charles - who wore a grey suit, blue shirt, red tie and a white carnation on his lapel - took up a shovel and planted an oak sapling to mark the official end of the Gloucestershire 1,000 Trees campaign.
