Her Majesty then watched from the royal box as Djokovic – who has never lost when the Queen has been watching him play – completed a four-set win to book his place in Friday's semi-final.
After the match, Djokovic insisted his chat with the Queen, a tennis fan, was 'private' and unrelated to the sport.
But they appeared to discuss a trip to the Balkans, where it is claimed she stayed at one of Djokovic's properties.
A clip of the pair talking on the players' lawn shows Djokovic saying: 'Oh yes, the property in Montenegro. Wonderful. I hope you enjoyed it.'
The Queen, who was accompanied by her sister Annabel Elliot, responded: 'Lovely. It was quite a long time ago. Very nice.'
Camilla also said she had her 'fingers crossed' for the seven-time Wimbledon winner's clash with Flavio Cobolli, which Djokovic took in four sets despite a nasty fall.
Djokovic later said it was an 'honour' to once again meet the Queen, who has watched him six times in 14 years in West London.
He told reporters: 'We had a nice exchange.

'I was actually surprised with her comment and a question that she asked.
'It was non-tennis related. She was very pleasant. Very, very pleasant.

'Of course, it's a great honour and privilege for me to be able to shake hands with the Queen of England. I've had that honour, as well, in 2010 with the late Queen Elizabeth.
'It's obviously a phenomenal occasion for Wimbledon to host the Royal Family.
'Wimbledon has been traditionally attracting the Royal Family. It's beautiful to see there's still an interest for our sport.'
Djokovic and Camilla are thought to be referencing the Queen's trip to Serbia and Montenegro in 2016, where she spent time with representatives from the Novak Djokovic Foundation.
The then Duchess of Cornwall made a trip to the Zvecanska Centre in Belgrade, which Djokovic said was 'of tremendous importance and significance'.
In a video message to Camilla, the tennis star said: 'We all want this project to succeed because we know how much benefit it brings to our society.
'Your presence here today is of tremendous importance and significance, since it brings this issue to the fore and attracts much-valued public attention.'
Djokovic owns multiple properties in the Balkans and is the global representative of island resort Sveti Stefan, which he has lobbied the Montenegrin government to reopen.
It is unclear which villa or resort he may have had the Queen as a guest at.
Debbie Jevans, the All England Club chairwoman, also told Camilla that Djokovic had 'especially wanted to come and meet you' during her surprise visit.

The British 40-year-old had the pace and was on track to finish in seventh, which would have comfortably seen him through to Q2. On his team radio, Hamilton said: "Is everything okay?"

Hamilton prepared documents and held a number of meetings following his fourth-place Silverstone finish. He remains without a Grand Prix podium after 12 races, although he did win the China sprint and finish third in the shorter Miami race.

Hamilton said: "The team have had amazing drivers - Fernando [Alonso], Sebastian [Vettel] - and yet they didn't win a title with Ferrari. "I refuse for that to be the case with me, that's why I am going the extra mile. If you take the same path, you get the same results."

I'm a ‘midlife make-up artist' & swear by a ‘press & roll' tip – it covers eye bags & reduces the appearance of wrinkles
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PROFESSIONAL beauty guru has shared a simple hack to cover eye bags, whilst reducing the appearance of wrinkles. So if you're not sure how to apply concealer correctly, you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A professional make-up artist has shared a top tip to cover up eye bags Credit: tiktok/@primalwoman 2 With this trick, you'll need to ditch your beauty blender and use your fingers to blend in concealer Credit: tiktok/@primalwoman Carina, who is passionate about empowering women in their prime, is a 'midlife make-up artist' who works at a NARS counter in Southampton. Now, the brunette beauty has demonstrated how to ensure concealer sits correctly and in the most flattering way possible under the eyes. Posting on social media and sharing her expert advice, Carina responded to a comment that read: 'I find the concealer goes into my wrinkles and they look worse around the eyes and crows feet.' To this, Carina stressed the importance of using the right product, that is the correct shade for you. According to this make-up pro, to ensure your eyes don't look sunken or wrinkly, you'll need a matte product that matches your skin tone. To demonstrate, she used the Soft Matte Complete Concealer from NARS. But instead of just applying the concealer to the area, Carina explained that it's important to hydrate the area too. As a result, she used a tiny amount of eye cream, the size of a rice grain, with a small amount of concealer and stressed: 'Take your concealer that matches your skin and make a little paste with that.' Once she'd made her paste, Carina applied it lightly under her eye and then shared her simple technique, which involves using your finger, rather than a beauty blender or brush, to blend and smudge in the product. Carina added: 'Then just press and roll, press and roll and press and roll that into the dip.' From banana skins to ear massages - five natural anti-aging hacks revealed Following this, she confirmed: 'You might want to go over that a couple of times, but you can see that by pressing it on and also using that hydrating cream, it does look better. 'But that's because we've gone in with the same colour as our base - you'll never be able to get rid of it completely, but what you can do is try to minimise it.'
