The U.K. is facing another heat wave this week, and when you’re taking in the tennis action at Wimbledon<\/a> on a 90-degree day, there’s only one accessory that’s absolutely essential. Peter Phillips and his new wife<\/a>, Harriet Sperling, made their first Wimbledon appearance as a married couple<\/a> on Wednesday, July 8, with Harriet fanning herself with an old-school paper fan. But Queen Camilla<\/a> took the cooling action up a notch as she was pictured using a battery-operated plastic fan<\/a>\u2014 and it turns out her purse-sized device was a bargain buy from Amazon.<\/p>\n

Wearing a long-sleeved turquoise Anna Valentine dress and a sentimental pair of turquoise drop earrings, Queen Camilla looked fresh and summery\u2014if not slightly overheated\u2014as she enjoyed a day of tennis<\/a> in the royal box. Although she was pictured using her paper fan at one point, it didn’t seem to be doing the trick, and she clutched her white fan throughout the afternoon as the temperatures soared.<\/p>\n

The Queen’s fan, designed by Tecknet, retails for under $20 on Amazon<\/a> U.K. and features multiple speeds, and it seems like she might have been using the highest one based on a hilarious meme<\/a> shared on Instagram by the Archbishop of Banterbury.<\/p>\n

As for her other accessories, Camilla wore the turquoise drop earrings that King Charles<\/a> gifted her ahead of their 2005 wedding, with jewelry expert Oliver Hobart, founder of 925E<\/a>, commenting that the jewels “a beautiful example of late Victorian and Edwardian craftsmanship.”<\/p>\n

“Turquoise also carries a rich symbolism,” Hobart adds. “Historically, it has been associated with protection, prosperity and enduring love, making it an especially meaningful choice for a gift between the then Prince Charles and Camilla before their marriage in 2005.”<\/p>\n
