Queen Camilla visits Wimbledon and watches quarterfinal match at Centre Court

Posted

Queen Camilla returned to Wimbledon for Wednesday's quarterfinal matches a year after joining in “the wave” with a No. 1 Court crowd.

Camilla, the wife of King Charles III, visited with All England Club chair Debbie Jevans in the morning before play got started at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.

Camilla sat in the Royal Box at Centre Court for the match between No. 7 Mirra Andreeva and unseeded Belinda Bencic.

Earlier, Camilla spoke to seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic and met lead groundsperson Will Brierley, lead gardener Robin Murphy, heritage collections manager Malin Lundin, as well as a ball girl and ball boy.

In the other women's quarterfinal match, No. 8 Iga Swiatek plays No. 19 Liudmila Samsonova.

On the men's side, No. 1 Jannik Sinner faces No. 10 Ben Shelton, and No. 6 Djokovic plays No. 22 Flavio Cobolli.

A year ago, Camilla threw her hands in the air with other fans during a match between Lorenzo Musetti and Taylor Fritz.
