Week two of Wimbledon<\/a> kicks off today (Monday 6 July), and while all but one of Britain\u2019s tennis hopefuls are out of the tournament, plenty of homegrown stars are watching on from the Royal Box. <\/p>\n

The likes of David Beckham<\/a>, Celia Imrie and Chris Hoy enjoyed the ultimate VIP treatment<\/a> in SW19 last week, and for day eight, James Norton<\/a> and Ncuti Gatwa are among those who have bagged an invite. <\/p>\n

Situated in a prime viewing spot, the exclusive Royal Box has been used to welcome friends and guests of Wimbledon<\/a> since 1922. <\/p>\n

The Royals themselves also often stop by to watch the action, with tennis fan Kate Middleton \u2013 who has been patron of the All England Club since 2016 \u2013 attending last week<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Three fourth-round clashes are taking place on Centre Court today, with Italy\u2019s Jasmine Paolini going up against Alexandra Eala, from the Philippines. <\/p>\n

The one remaining British star, Arthur Fery, then faces Bulgaria\u2019s Grigor Dimitrov, before the action concludes with Jiri Lehecka, from the Czech Republic, versus the men\u2019s second seed, Germany\u2019s Alexander Zverev. <\/p>\n

Here are all the celebrities in the Royal Box today (6 July)… <\/p>\n

James Norton <\/p>\n

Eight-time Wimbledon<\/a> champion Roger Federer<\/a> was rightly given a front row seat. <\/p>\n

Former tennis stars Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss proved winning Wimbledon<\/a> fashion doesn\u2019t always mean wearing white. <\/p>\n

The couple met when they were both on the playing circuit and have been together for more than 40 years. In her 2021 memoir, All In, King revealed they had secretly married three years prior. <\/p>\n

Lenny Henry <\/p>\n

\"\"(AP)<\/p>\n

Much-loved comedian and Comic Relief co-founder Lenny Henry<\/a> is one of the many Wimbledon guests to have met the Royals on multiple previous occasions. <\/p>\n

The actor was given a knighthood for services to drama and charity by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2015. <\/p>\n

Frequent Guy Ritchie collaborator Jason Flemyng was among the first arrivals of the day. <\/p>\n

The actor has teamed up with the director for multiple projects over the years, appearing in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. His small screen credits include the 2004 adaptation of Enid Blyton\u2019s The Famous Five, Sky Atlantic\u2019s Save Me and, most recently, Trigger Point. <\/p>\n

Claudia Winkleman <\/p>\n

\"\"(PA)<\/p>\n

Claudia Winkleman (inexplicably) didn\u2019t make the cut for the Royal Box, with The Traitors host instead enjoying the \u2013 still super luxe \u2013 regular VIP area instead. <\/p>\n
