The set of Married At First Sight 2025 was thrown into an unexpected frenzy on Tuesday when Queen Camilla made a surprise appearance just meters from where the hit Channel Nine reality series was being filmed in Sydney.
The moment left the show’s tattooed, shirtless boyfriends and girlfriends confused and excited as they watched the real show unfold next to the reality TV.
As Camilla, 77, wearing a regal blue midi dress, waved to the small crowd gathered for her public appearance, the cast of MAFS watched the Queen’s grand entrance from the balconies of their hotel.
Among those taken by surprise was tattooed groom Dave Hand, along with his girlfriend Jamie Marinos, who, according to experts, is shaping up to be next season’s “king and queen.”
The couple were seen leaning over the glass balcony of One Global Resorts, the luxurious resort that houses the cast of MAFS, carefully watching Camilla’s arrival.
Jamie, with her blonde locks pulled back under a chic headband, beamed as she pointed in the Queen’s direction, while Dave, wearing a backwards cap and showing off his inked arms, filmed the moment on his phone.
Not far behind them were bride Jacqueline Burfoot and her boyfriend Ryan Donnelly, who took the opportunity to film their own reactions to the unexpected royal visit.
Jacqui, dressed in a striking strapless magenta dress, looked elated as she looked towards Camilla’s entrance.

Earlier in the day, bride and groom Paul Antoine and Ryan were spotted in the crowd at Green Square, mingling as they eagerly awaited Camilla’s arrival.
They were both dressed casually, with Ryan sporting a relaxed red button-down shirt, black shorts, and Birkenstock sandals, while Paul kept it simple in gray sweatpants and a black tank top.
Unfortunately, their hopes of catching a royal greeting were dashed when MAFS producers called them back inside to prepare to film an upcoming dinner party.
It is unclear whether Queen Camilla will appear in a future episode of the series, and a producer told Daily Mail Australia that the moment was captured on camera but may not appear in the final edition of the TV megahit.
