The Duchess of Cornwall, Sophie Wessex and Zara Tindall are the latest royals to grace the All England Club at Wimbledon – and they all seemed more than happy to mingle with the crowds and be photographed.
Zara, 38, put on an affectionate display with husband Mike Tindall, 40, as they took their seats on Centre Court. The mother-of-two dressed casually in a £369 blue-and-white striped dress, donning a pair of glasses to keep out the Wimbledon glare.
And Camilla, 71, looked delighted to have an afternoon of spectating ahead of her as she took her seat in the royal box for men’s quarter-final day.
Recycling a favourite dress for her trip to south-west London, she sported the same elegant v-necked Fiona Clare dress that she wore to Prince Louis’ christening back in July 2018.

The slogan is popular on the small business website Etsy, appearing on products including T-shirts, mugs and towels.
