This has been Week 1 of Wimbledon. I’ve been enjoying it – I got to see both Serena Williams and Venus Williams play some of their matches on Wednesday while I was at the gym. In the early matches, there usually aren’t a lot of big-name guests. I suspect the Duchess Kate and Prince William – who have already let it be known that they will attend some matches this year – will wait until next week, probably the men’s and women’s singles finals. But on Thursday, the Wimbledon crowd did get a special royal visitor: HRH Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. I didn’t know she was really into tennis, but as it turns out, she is! She got to meet Rafael Nadal – before he got his ass handed to him by a qualifier in the second round!!! – on Thursday, and she watched Andy Murray’s win over Robin Haase. Murray even gave Camilla a souvenir!

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, got a special surprise when she attended Wimbledon on Thursday – Andy Murray’s wristband! The Scottish tennis champion tossed his wristband to Camilla, 67, as she watched him secure a win over Robin Haase in the second round of the men’s singles at the famed tennis tournament.

Clarence House, which manages the official Twitter account for Camilla and her husband, Prince Charles, had a little fun with the candid moment, writing, “Thank you for your wrist band Andy!”

While Murray may have gifted Camilla with a souvenir, the tennis fan has already shown her support for one of Murray’s rivals, Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal. Camilla met with the 14-time grand slam champion at the All England Club on Thursday ahead of Murray’s match, where she told Nadal that she hopes he wins, according to The Daily Telegraph.

After the match, Murray told reporters that he had kind of thrown his wristband to the crowd, to no one in particular. As it turns out, the chairman of Wimbledon – who was sitting to Camilla’s left – caught it and gave it to Camilla. Murray said: “I heard she was coming today and then I saw her briefly after the match. The wrist band actually hit the chairman of Wimbledon because he was there with her. Normally you see who catches it. Then the Duchess opened up her bag and my wristband was in there, so he obviously had given it to her.”

I think it’s sweet that Camilla cared enough to want Nadal to win. She proved herself to be a harbinger of doom for him though! But maybe she’s a good luck charm for Murray. I’ve heard some royal-adjacent sources say that Kate and William aren’t even all that into Murray. I know the Middletons have a close relationship with Roger Federer though – I think Federer has even been to the Middleton’s Berkshire home. Speaking of, guess who was in the royal box during Murray’s match? That’s right, Carole and Michael Middleton. Huh. I’m including some pics of the Middletons too.
