The Queen revealed she once worked as a ball girl as she made a surprise visit to Wimbledon on Day 10 of the tournament. Camilla, who was joined by her sister Annabel Elliot, met and spoke to a ball boy and two ball girls, as well as staff working at the grounds before heading to the Royal Box to watch the tennis on Centre Court on Wednesday.The Queen asked Larissa, 15, Sean, 16, and Cassie, 16, whose surnames were not given, if they had previously worked at the tennis tournament and if they were enjoying the role.
She said: "You have to be very agile. I remember doing it 100 years ago at Queen’s [Club]. It is quite difficult." The Queen asked Sean if he was working across all of the courts for the Grand Slam championship, adding: "You must be feeling very fit." When Cassie said she had worked at a previous championship, Camilla replied: “So you are a bit of an expert?” The Queen also met dog handler Mark Mills, 59, and his dog Flo, who are part of the security team at Wimbledon.
Camilla smiled as she leaned down to pat Flo. Mark told the PA news agency: "(Flo) was lying down. She wasn’t going to get up for Her Majesty – Her Majesty had to get down for her.
