The Queen on Wednesday went to Wimbledon to watch the men’s and women’s quarter finals on Centre Court.
Camilla sat in the Royal Box on Centre Court to watch the ladies’ quarter final between Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina - a rematch of the 2023 final. Later on the same court, Spanish world number one Carlos Alcaraz was set to play Denmark’s Holger Rune.
Arriving about midday, the Queen - who was joined by her sister, Annabel Elliot - made her way around the All England club.
She first spoke to a ball boy and two ball girls.
Camilla asked Larissa, 15, Sean, 16, and Cassie, 16, whose surnames were not given, if they had previously worked at the tennis tournament and if they were enjoying the role.
She said: “You have to be very agile. I remember doing it one hundred years ago at Queen’s (Club). It is quite difficult.”
The Queen asked Sean if he was working across all of the courts for the Grand Slam championship, adding: “You must be feeling very fit.”
When Cassie said she had worked at a previous championship, Camilla joked: “So you are a bit of an expert?”
The Queen also met dog handler Mark Mills, 59, and his dog Flo, who are part of the security team at Wimbledon.
Camilla smiled as she leaned down to pat Flo.
Mr Mills told the PA news agency: “(Flo) was lying down. She wasn’t going to get up for Her Majesty – Her Majesty had to get down for her.
“I suddenly thought ‘Oh my gosh, I made Her Majesty bend down to stroke her rather than she sit up for her Majesty’.
“I’m just pleased (Flo) stayed as she was. She’s very greedy this one, and can be temperamental.”
The Queen then met British former number one Johanna Konta.
Konta, who is now retired, told Camilla she had been awake throughout the night with her 10-month-old baby and explained she had had to get dressed in the dark on Wednesday morning.
The Queen asked if she was playing in the tournament and Konta said she would be part of a ladies’ invitation doubles game.
