The cast of the popular reality show were left in shock as they spotted the Queen outside their filming location in Sydney.
Shirtless grooms and their brides were seen peering over balconies as they realised who was passing by. Dressed in a royal blue midi dress, Queen Camilla graciously waved to the excited onlookers.

Earlier in the day, grooms Paul Antoine and Ryan had been spotted among the public crowd at Green Square, eagerly awaiting Queen Camilla’s arrival.
However, their MAFS duties reportedly interfered with a potential sighting, as producers called them back inside to prepare for an upcoming dinner party filming.
The moment of Camilla’s arrival near the set was captured by Channel Nine cameras, according to a producer who spoke to Daily Mail Australia. It remains unclear whether these scenes will make the final cut of the show amidst all the drama.
