What's going on? Who is Queen Camilla serving with at Wimbledon? The 76-year-old appeared to be in a good mood with a supposed double in the Royal Box at the traditional British grass tennis tournament.

No time? blue News summarizes for you

  • Queen Camilla visited the traditional lawn tennis tournament at Wimbledon last Wednesday.
  • It is well known that the 76-year-old is a big tennis fan.
  • This time, the Queen was in for another surprise. A double sat next to her in the Royal Box: same hairstyle, same outfit and same smile.

Next Sunday, the traditional grass tennis tournament in Wimbledon comes to an end with the men's final.

After a number of blue bloods and celebrities have already visited the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in the past few days, Queen Camilla herself paid her respects this week.

It has long been known that the 76-year-old loves tennis more than anything. Camilla wore a cream-colored summer dress as she took her place in the Royal Box on Center Court. But she had another ace up her sleeve.

A double took her place next to the Queen: same hairstyle, same outfit.

Who is this double queen?

The two women not only seemed to be on the same page in terms of fashion - they also harmonized wonderfully with each other in other ways. They laughed a lot, clapped often and kept up a lively conversation.

Momoll, what a likeable women's doubles team.

Many a tennis fan at Wimbledon, to whom the members of the British royal family are strangers, was already wondering whether the Queen was perhaps having a joke?

Camilla did not.

The woman seated next to the Queen is her sister Annabel Elliot, who is a year younger than her. Although the two women are rarely seen together in public, they seem to be a well-rehearsed duo.

Insiders say that Annabel Elliot is the calmer of the two sisters. This is said to have been the case since they were children.

In an interview, the now 75-year-old Elliot once said of herself and her famous sister: "I probably wasn't quite as self-confident as she was."
