Wimbledon’s Centre Court is known not only for world-class tennis but also for its prestigious Royal Box, where members of the British royal family, sporting icons and internationally recognised figures gather throughout The Championships. On Day 10 of Wimbledon 2026, the Royal Box once again attracted a host of notable guests as the tournament reached the quarter-final stage.
Leading the guest list was Queen Camilla, who made her customary visit to Wimbledon for the fourth consecutive year. Dressed in a light blue outfit, the Queen watched the women’s singles quarter-final between Marta Kostyuk and Jasmine Paolini from Centre Court before greeting Britain’s Arthur Fery and Italy’s Flavio Cobolli ahead of their men’s quarter-final match. During her visit, she also met Wimbledon staff members, a ball boy and a ball girl as part of her annual engagement at the tournament.
The Royal Box also featured several well-known names from the entertainment industry. Actress Elle Fanning attended alongside her boyfriend Gus Wenner and was seated directly behind the Queen. Actors Jason Isaacs and Dominic West were also among the invited guests, with West drawing attention as he portrayed King Charles III in the later seasons of The Crown.
Joining them were actors Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola, who were also present in the Royal Box during the day’s play. Television presenter and adventurer Bear Grylls and filmmaker Armando Iannucci were among the other notable invitees.
The Royal Box remains one of the most exclusive hospitality areas in world sport. Located on Centre Court, it contains 74 seats and operates on an invitation-only basis. Guests are invited by the Chair of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and typically include members of the Royal Family, heads of state, distinguished athletes, business leaders and figures from the arts and entertainment.
As Wimbledon 2026 moves into its closing stages, the Royal Box continues to reflect the tournament’s unique blend of sporting tradition and cultural significance, with some of the biggest names from royalty, sport and entertainment gathering to watch the action unfold on Centre Court.
