Camilla's Wimbledon delay

Britain's Duchess of Cornwall was so excited to watch tennis at Wimbledon on Wednesday (22.06.11) she stayed two hours later than planned.

Britain's Duchess of Cornwall enjoyed her visit to Wimbledon so much this week, she stayed two-and-a-half hours later than planned.

The duchess - who is married to heir to the throne Prince Charles - made her first visit to the All England tennis club since her wedding in 2005 on Wednesday (22.06.11) where she watched superstars Venus Williams and Rafal Nadal in action.

British tennis player Elena Baltacha said: "I asked her if she'd enjoyed herself and she said she'd had a great day. I don't think she wanted to go home."

Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge is expected to visit Wimbledon before leaving for her first official overseas visit with husband Prince William to Canada on June 30.

The royal is a huge tennis fan as evidenced by a letter she wrote in 2008 after visiting the All England Club which was made public earlier this week.

The letter - which is one of only a few samples of her handwriting to be published - reveals the future queen mingled with other fans as she watched the giant screen outside the grounds before being invited in to watch from Centre Court.
