Colaboradores
Wimbledon 2025 is in full swing, and the Royal Box is once again the hottest ticket in town! Forget battling for ground passes; this is where the A-list action is. But how do celebs and sporting legends snag a spot in this exclusive enclosure?
The Royal Box: More Than Just a View
Since 1922, the Royal Box has been a Wimbledon institution, offering prime viewing from Centre Court. With only 74 seats, it's an intimate space usually reserved for royalty, heads of state, and tennis bigwigs. However, a sprinkling of Hollywood stars, musicians, and other famous faces always adds to the buzz.
Who's Been Spotted?
This year, the Royal Box has already welcomed a host of celebrities, including sports stars like Jamie Redknapp and Fran Kirby. Last year saw Tom Cruise, Benedict Cumberbatch, and even the Princess of Wales gracing the seats. The allure of Wimbledon clearly transcends sporting boundaries.
The Invitation Game: How to Get In
So, how does one become Royal Box-worthy? It's all about the invitation. The Chairman of the All England Club personally extends invitations, often consulting with The Championships’ Organising Committee and The Lawn Tennis Association. There's no paying your way in; it's purely about who's deemed a worthy guest.
- Royal Connections: Members of the British and overseas royal families are always on the list.
- Government and Institutions: Heads of government, representatives from the armed forces, and media organisations are also regular attendees.
- Tennis Royalty: Naturally, tennis stars both past and present are given priority.
- Celebrity Status: And then there's the celebrity factor. A-list actors, musicians, and influencers add to the glamour and prestige of the event.
