Queen Camilla makes ‘expression of disgust’ at Wimbledon, expert claims

Queen Camilla, 75, attended day 10 of the Championships at Wimbledon 2023 wearing a beautiful Fiona Clare dress.

The Queen made a range of facial expressions during the tennis match, which a body language expert spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk to analyse.

Judi James said: “Perhaps it was the proximity of her sister or the fact that she was watching some thrilling tennis.

“But – while Mary Berry sat behind her performing a masterclass of regally stoic body language – Camilla seemed to decide to treat the fans to a range of what looked like overkill facial expressions.

“Camilla isn’t known for demonstrative behaviour in public and being the wife of a man for whom a pat on the shoulder rates as a PDA, she has had little encouragement to let her hair down a bit since becoming Queen.

“The late Queen did and would treat us to some moments of more expressive behaviour but those moments were restricted to the odd uproarious laugh at the highland games each year or some expressions of high excitement when her horses were racing at Ascot.”

Judi suggested why Queen Camilla made “unusual” facial expressions during the tennis game.

She claimed: “Camilla may have felt less inhibited without Charles beside her and less worried about upstaging him.

“Her facial expressions are varied and also rather unusual though, mainly because decades of suppressing her emotions in public seems to have left her with the trait of the upturned smile, where the corners of her mouth turn down dramatically, rather than up.

“She looks totally immersed in the match to the point where she seems to have forgotten the fact that being royal means always being snapped by the press, especially when you’re in the royal box at Wimbledon.

“Her expression of disgust might have been prompted by a lost point as she looks down and puffs in a rather emphatic way.

“The way she throws her hands up and looks to the skies could have been about another lost point or maybe it was frustration at some drops of rain that threatened to stop play.

“Some of her expressions with an open mouth look as though she was being quite vocal with her responses, too.

“It might be a good thing that tennis is her sport rather than football then, (like William).

“Or her spontaneous-looking enthusiasm could mean we see her getting up to join in the chanting from the terraces during a thrilling game.”

Queen Camilla wore a couture dress from Fiona Clare, which she paired with a Bottega Veneta handbag and Izipizi sunglasses.

In addition, the Queen wore her Kiki McDonough topaz and diamond pendant and her Van Cleef and Arpels bracelet.
