Queen Camilla makes surprise appearance at Wimbledon
Queen Camilla made a surprise appearance at Wimbledon on Wednesday to watch the men's and women's quarter-finals, including shaking seven-time champion Novak Djokovic's hand. Aside from wishing Djokovic luck before his last-eight clash with Italy's Flavio Cobolli, Camilla also engaged in conversation with award-winning English actor Hugh Grant on a balmy summer day in London. The Queen's Wimbledon sojourn followed her and King Charles welcoming French president Emmanuel Macron and first lady Brigitte Macron to Windsor Castle on Wednesday morning for the second day of their state visit to England. The King also hosted a state banquet on Tuesday, where Macron paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II in front of about 160 guests. The Princess of Wales made her first appearance at a state banquet in almost two years. She is expected to be at the tennis in the days ahead, but the palace has not confirmed that. Camilla, who sat next to All England club chair Debbie Jevans in the royal box on centre court, continued a long tradition of royals attending Wimbledon. Camilla has visited the grasscourt major to watch the tennis for several years in a row, while Prince William and Princess Kate – who has struck up a friendship with Roger Federer – are also regulars at Wimbledon. The late Princess Diana also used to attend the All England club at this time of year. Princess Beatrice, her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson, Duchess of York, were in the royal box for the opening day of this year's championships.

Wrexham's journey has been ‘unimaginable'. As they roll into Melbourne, they're loving every second
When Colin Henrys joined Wrexham AFC as a volunteer seven years ago, the Welsh club was languishing in the fifth tier of English soccer. He could never have imagined where he'd be in 2025: the club's head of media and communications, visiting Australia on Wrexham's first pre-season tour outside the United States, after a record-breaking three consecutive promotions up to the second tier Championship. 'I was just in the right place at the right time,' Henrys said. 'You can't be a volunteer and do it now, it's such an intense job. It's a 24-hour job.' Things changed for Henrys and the rest of the team at the world's third-oldest professional soccer club when Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 's Rob Mac expressed interest in buying the club, and planned to film a docuseries of the journey to boot. The team's unprecedented meteoric rise in the years that followed was a recipe for a worldwide sensation; Welcome to Wrexham exploded in popularity. Australia is the third-largest audience for the show behind the UK and US. 'I'm loving absolutely every second, as I'm sure the rest of the lads are,' Wrexham captain James McLean said. 'When you're riding the crest of the wave ... you just go along. Where the club has gone in the last few years, it's been unimaginable, I'm guessing even for the owners and everyone involved. It's probably exceeded their wildest expectations.' Henrys said while on the Down Under tour – in which the Red Dragons will take on Melbourne Victory at Marvel Stadium on Friday July 11 before going up against Sydney FC at Allianz Stadium on July 15 – he had been taking calls from the UK at bedtime before waking up to emails from the US. 'There's interest from all over the world,' he said. 'You can always tell when the documentary is launched in different parts … you suddenly get a flurry of emails.'
