Queen Camilla Visits Wimbledon and Watches Quarterfinal Matches at Centre Court
WINDSOR AND MAIDENHEAD, ENGLAND, JUL 8 – The visit marks the first French state visit to the U.K. in 17 years, featuring formal events at Windsor Castle and efforts to strengthen bilateral relations.
Queen Camilla attended Wimbledon on Wednesday, watching quarter-final matches from the Royal Box at the All England Club in London.
Her visit came after a demanding week that featured hosting the state visit of France’s leader and his wife at Windsor Castle, including a formal banquet on July 8.
At Wimbledon, the Queen wore an emerald green Anna Valentine dress with a flared skirt and matching Philip Treacy hat while being welcomed by club chair Debbie Jevans.
Robin Murphy, a lead gardener celebrating 20 years of service, said meeting the Queen was "slightly nerve-wracking but very privileged," highlighting staff interaction during her visit.
The Queen’s attendance sustained royal engagement with public events and reflected ongoing ties between the monarchy and the Wimbledon Championships.
