The royal couple were joined on their walk to church by the Reverend Canon Paul Williams.
Charles, 75, is staying at Sandringham after leaving hospital on Monday.
He underwent the "corrective procedure" at the London Clinic just off Harley Street last month.
Ahead of the surgery, Buckingham Palace said the monarch would be treated for an "enlarged prostate".

A spokesperson added that Charles will now pause royal duties while he recovers.
Buckingham Palace said: "The King was discharged from hospital following planned medical treatment.
"He has rescheduled forthcoming public engagements to allow for a period of private recuperation.
"The King would like to thank the medical team and all those involved in supporting his hospital visit.

"He is grateful for all the kind messages he has received in recent days."
Earlier this week, Camilla said her husband was "doing his best" as she opened a cancer support centre at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
Charles is understood to have wanted to share the news to encourage other men to get themselves checked.
NHS England said the "enlarged prostate" page on the NHS website received one visit every five seconds on the day the King's diagnosis was announced.
Charles left hospital just hours after Princess Kate was also allowed to head home to Windsor.
Kensington Palace said she "is making good progress" after she underwent abdominal surgery at the clinic.
Sources claimed at the weekend that Kate's commitment to her royal duties will see her get back into work as soon as she can.
She is said to have plans to work from bed now she's back home.
