The King was discharged on January 29 in London following treatment for an enlarged prostate, but will remain away from public duties for "a period of private recuperation", a statement from Buckingham Palace said.
Leaving the hospital with his wife Camilla, the King waved at onlookers who had congregated on the street before being driven away.
"His Majesty would like to thank the medical team and all those involved in supporting his hospital visit, and is grateful for all the kind messages he has received in recent days," the statement said.
Meanwhile Kensington Palace has confirmed Princess Kate has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery two weeks on from planned abdominal surgery.
The Princess of Wales was admitted to hospital on January 17 for the procedure at private hospital The London Clinic.
The statement from Kensington Palace said she was "making good progress" and the family were grateful to the medical staff and for the well wishes they received from around the world.
The Princess is not expected to return to public duties until after Easter.
