Ahead of the quarter final day action, Queen Camilla led royals including Zara and Mike Tindall and Peter Phillips and his girlfriend Harriet Sperling. The Princess of Wales' parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, were also spotted arriving at Wimbledon.
Without the King by her side, Queen Camilla, 76, was greeted at the All England Club by Wimbledon chair Debbie Jevans, who escorted her to Centre Court to meet ball boys and girls.
Wearing a stylish ivory dress adorned with giraffes and matching suede heels, the Queen looked in great spirits as she stopped to chat to each of the pupils tasked with one of the tournament's most vital jobs.
