Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott bring the fun to Wimbledon's Royal Box on final day as best pals leave actress Keira Knightley in hysterics

Daily Mail​13-07-2025
Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott brought the fun and laughter to the Royal Box on Sunday at the Wimbledon Championships.
The best pals were snapped as they watched the action of the final day of action from this year's competition at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Paul, 29, and Andrew, 48, were seated ready at Centre Court for the women's doubles final match beside Hollywood actress Keira Knightley.
The two Irish hunks appeared to be dropping jokes on their row as they basked in the heat.
Their humour had Keira, 40, visibly laughing while she oozed glamour in her all white attire for the tournament.
She opted for a befittingly all-white ensemble to watch the championship, looking chic in a button-up shirt and tailored trousers.
The Black Doves star added a string of elegant pearls and a bejewelled belt as she arrived with her husband James Righton, who complemented his wife in a matching white double-breasted suit and a satin tie.
The pair, who have been married since 2013 and share daughters Edie, ten, and six-year-old Delilah, shielded their eyes under oversized shades at they headed to the Royal Box
It's unclear what was so funny but the trio appeared to be getting on like a house on fire.
Seated to Keira's righthand side was Vogue magazine editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Meanwhile, other A-list star pictured on the final day of Wimbledon include Sienna Miller, Nicole Kidman and Henry Cavill.
Also putting on a loved-up display at the tournament were Niall Horan and his girlfriend, Amelia Woolley.
The One Direction singer was typically handsome in a dark blue suit, while Amelia nailed summer chic in a simple white milkmaid style dress.
Yesterday, the Princess of Wales was overwhelmed by a huge chorus of cheers and clapping as she took her seat in the Royal Box for the Wimbledon final.
Seated to Keira's righthand side was Vogue magazine editor-in-chief Anna Wintour who also appeared to be in good spirits
Kate, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, waved to the crowd as she received a standing ovation on her arrival to Centre Court on Saturday.
Dressed in a stunning cream outfit, including a high collared belted top and flowing skirt, she greeted famous faces in the Royal Box on her way to her seat.
The Princess, who is making a steady return to public duties following her cancer diagnosis, also shook the hand of six-time Wimbledon champion Billie Jean King.
At the end of the match, Kate presented the winner's trophy to Iga Swiatek who took just 57 minutes to wipe American Amanda Anisimova off the court 6-0 6-0.

Tempers flare as England and India battle for control of fifth Test

Tempers flared once again as England and India battled for control on day two of a finely balanced fifth Test decider. The hosts reached tea on 215 for seven after Gus Atkinson's five-for knocked the tourists over for 224, with the game almost entirely even as ball dominated bat on a sporty Kia Oval pitch. With the series up for grabs – England chasing a 3-1 win, India eyeing a creditable 2-2 draw away from home – both sides will be wary of emotions bubbling over after more tetchy exchanges. Relations between the two teams have been strained for the past three games and the latest flashpoints came as they tussled in a finely balanced series finale at the Kia Oval. India seamer Akash Deep draped an arm over Ben Duckett after dismissing the opener caught behind off a reverse scoop, a potentially provocative act that could be deemed to breach ICC rules on 'inappropriate physical contact'. Duckett did well not to react as he walked off, despite the bowler interrupting his exit with some unsolicited words from close quarters. Joe Root was less able to keep a lid on things, responding furiously after an exchange with Prasidh Krishna as he ran between the wickets. It is unclear what was said between the pair but Root, who has rarely lost his cool in 13 years of international cricket, was clearly incensed as he shouted indignantly at Krishna. The umpires also saw fit to intervene, having words with the bowler as well as a handful of his team-mates. England began ruthlessly with the ball, taking the last four wickers for six runs before Duckett and Zak Crawley wiped 92 off the deficit in 12 overs of thrillingly cavalier strokeplay. Deep stopped the rot by removing Duckett before lunch and six more scalps in the afternoon session kept India in the fight. After blowing hot and cold on day one Josh Tongue served up more of the same as he kicked things off for England, with three of his first four balls disappearing to the boundary. The pay-off came soon after as the Nottinghamshire quick beat Karun Nair with a fine delivery that zipped through at 91mph and had him lbw. From there it was over to Atkinson, who crushed the tail in ruthless fashion. Washington Sundar was bounced out, taking on a bumper and failing, Mohammed Siraj lost his off stump and Krishna nicked behind for a duck. If the clatter of wickets gave England's openers the jitters it was impossible to tell, Crawley instantly on the offensive as he slapped three of his first nine balls for four. Duckett overcame a couple of early scares, a loud lbw shout shown to be going over and a possible catch landing safe as the fielders at gully and point left it for each other. But his response was emphatic, reversing his hands and launching Deep for six over the slips before hitting the ropes three more times in the seamer's next visit. The runs were raining down on India but Duckett's boldness cost him eventually, feeding a gentle catch behind after flipping his hands and looking for another scoop. India were much improved in the afternoon, seeing their lead dwindle but regularly breaking through. Mohammed Siraj had Ollie Pope (22), Root (29) and Jacob Bethell (six) lbw, just reward for a wholehearted and excellently executed spell of fast bowling. Bethell hit one glorious four through cover point but was pinned off the next ball, cutting short his first Test innings of the year. Krishna returned to remove Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton before the interval but Harry Brook rode his luck to remain in place on 33 not out despite some wild flourishes.

Horse owned by James Milner and Danny Welbeck to target £5m race after Goodwood win

Seagulls Eleven, owned by current and former players of Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion, scored in Group 3 company on Friday Footballers James Milner and Danny Welbeck could be chasing a huge payday with the racehorse they own with current and former players at Brighton & Hove Albion. ‌ The ex-England internationals are among the group named Two Plus Three Two Plus Four which own Seagulls Eleven, trained by Hugo Palmer who is based at Michael Owen's Manor House Stables in Cheshire. ‌ The three-year-old, whose 11 owners also include the likes of Jason Steele, Pascal Gross and Billy Gilmour, has a record of one win from nine starts and first four finishes in two Group 1 races from nine runs in the club's blue and white-striped silks. ‌ On his tenth start Seagulls Eleven scored for the second time in his career at Goodwood on Friday after defeating three others in the Group 3 Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes. Seagulls Eleven ran at the Breeders' Cup in the US last year and has taken connections to the 2,000 Guineas and Royal Ascot in 2025. He could now be campaigned in Australia later this year after he defeated Diego Ventura by three quarters of length. Palmer said: 'We probably over-faced Seagulls Eleven a bit last year – he danced some pretty big dances – but he is a very generous horse and they weren't getting past him. He is quite a handful and not an easy horse to train – gelding him has made a bit of a difference. 'Seagulls Eleven has taken us all around the world and I don't think we are done yet. The Golden Eagle in Sydney has already been mentioned and why not? It is a A$10m dollar race. Where can you say that in England?' ‌ A trip to the Cheltenham Festival by Milner and Owen was the catalyst for putting together a syndicate. 'It actually all started at Cheltenham,' said Palmer. 'There was a mare called Mrs Milner and Michael [Owen] suggested to James Milner that he back it. He did and it went from there. 'They have bought a few horses and James is the ringleader. There are 11 players, who aren't all at Brighton anymore – sadly, half a dozen of them were here yesterday but I think they are in Poland today. 'Maybe we will have one more run [in the UK before Australia]. We could talk about supplementing for the City Of York or maybe the Celebration Mile back here. I haven't really thought about it.'
