Another royal has made a surprise appearance at Wimbledon. 

This time around, it’s Queen Camilla, who attended the quarter-final matchup between Belinda Bencic and Mirra Andreeva. Earlier in the day, she was seen meeting with All England Club chair Debbie Jevans and reportedly spoke with Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic. For the occasion, the Queen was spotted wearing a colorful animal print shirt dress from Fiona Clare, which she has previously been seen wearing on several occasions, including her visit to Australia last year.

According to Buckingham Palace, which posted a short clip of the day’s activities on its official Instagram, the Queen also met with lead groundsperson Will Brierley before the match began. They captioned the post, "What a day at @Wimbledon! Congratulations @djokernole on your Quarter Final success - and thank you to all at The Championships who work to deliver such a fantastic tournament each year."

Queen Camilla isn’t the only one who has made a surprise appearance during this year’s Wimbledon. Last week, the Duchess of Gloucester was seen sharing a warm welcome with Kate Middleton’s mom, Carole. On the first day of the tournament, Duchess Sarah Ferguson popped up with daughter Princess Beatrice to watch Carlos Alcaraz take on Fabio Fognini. It was just Duchess Fergie’s third time attending the tournament after her first appearance with her best friend, Princess Diana, in the 1990s, and her second appearance in 2000.

Let’s keep the surprise royal appearances coming, please.
