Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall was on Centre Court at Wimbledon to watch Andy Murray take on China’s Yen-Hsun Lu.

The Duchess was joined by Carole and Michael Middleton in the Royal Box on Thursday, to get a good view of the men’s singles as well as top ranked British female player Jo Konta take on Canada's Eugenie Bouchard.

Wearing a black and white polka dot dress and matching white blazer, the Duchess looked ready for a spot of good weather.

Joined by sister Annabel Elliot and Chairman of the All England Lawn Tennis Club Phillip Brook, the group were spotted sharing a joke before the match began.

The Middletons sat one row behind, alongside Tim Henman’s father Anthony and Sebastian Coe.

Kim Sears also looked summery in a floral dress and white jacket as she took her seat to watch her husband take to the court.

Other stars to make an appearance on the fourth day of this year’s tournament included Downton Abbey’s Allan Leech, who looked dapper in a suit and tie.

The Duchess of Cornwall spent time with Oracene Price, the mother of Serena and Venus Williams during a break between matches.

She was also spotted mingling wih some well-known faces from the tennis world including Briton Kyle Edmund and former US player Peter Fleming.

Speaking of Murray's first-round win against Liam Broady, his mother Judy Murray said: "I think he played well. He was very solid, very focused. Hitting the ball well, hitting it hard. He also served well."

She said that it was important for him to save energy during the early stages of the tournament, adding the roof on Centre Court was a big advantage as it meant players could finish their matches.
