Wimbledon 2025: Who's Who In The Royal Box And Down On The Grass
Britain's Queen Camilla (center) and her sister Annabel Eliot (left) assume the front row in the Royal Box alongside the Chair of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Board, Deborah Jevans (right). In the row behind, standing until the Queen is seated, British actor Hugh Grant and his wife, Swedish producer Anna Elisabet Eberstein, await the quarter-final tennis match between Russia's Mirra Andreeva and Switzerland's Belinda Bencic on the tenth day of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships at The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, southwest London, on July 9, 2025. (Photo by Glyn KIRK / AFP) / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE (Photo by GLYN KIRK/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images The 2025 Wimbledon women's singles semifinal between Mirra Andreeva of Russia and Switzerland's Belinda Bencic on the afternoon of July 9 was a celestial affair, not just because Bencic powered through the younger Russian in straight sets, to set up a fine final against World No. 1 Iga Świątek. The game bore more than a little extra wattage because, first, the Queen, pictured above settling into the royals' customary front row-on-the-court seats in the Royal Box, flanked on her left by the Chair of the All England Tennis and Croquet Club board Deborah Jevens. In the second row, noted tennis fan Hugh Grant and his wife, Anna Elisabet Eberstein, stand properly for the duration until the Queen and the Chair of the All England board take their seats. The action in the Royal Box is not quite as swift as the action on the court, but over the two-week-long tournament, the Court of St. James does play a cutthroat game of musical chairs in the Royal Box that definitely provides the world at large — well north of 25 million viewers globally in each of the last three years, atop a half-million people who actually attend — with one hellishly fine barometric pressure reading of British society. Grant engaged in a very sociable conversation with the Queen and her sister, then settled in. But the settling in seemed slowly to overtake the esteemed actor. He seemed to nod off for what might be diplomatically described as a moment of altered consciousness, or lapsed attention, or perhaps even a sort of Zen-like power-nap/drift-off — according to CNN. Perhaps a rough night at rehearsals for the chronically employable actor, or, more likely, with them out of school, a long morning with the kids — five in total, three of whom are with Eberstein, two of whom were authored by Grant and his ex-partner, Tinglan Hong. At any rate, a human moment for the dad of those good people. We're naming no names here, but it's arguable whether it's wise to take a nap in public, period, except on a beach or beside a swimming pool, or, say, with your platoon on a long march. Put more directly, to take a nap in the Royal Box during a Wimbledon quarterfinal with the Queen sitting within arm's length seems a parlous choice of lollygagging terrain. What if she turns round and asks you a question? The white-hot global focus by the paparazzi on the occupants of the seats around her is a given. Arguably, Grant is used to bathing in that sort of klieg-lit glare, but, as an Englishman sitting there, technically at her invitation, wouldn't one really rather be nodding off few more rows distant? Admirably, the Queen and the King fight similar biological urges at thousands of obligatory public functions. CNN reported its razor-thin perhaps-a-nap thesis in a three-paragraph digital piece published at 7:53 p.m. EDT (2:53 p.m. British Summer Time). By then, the emoji-rich posting on X (the classic weeping-with-laughter among them) and other platforms was, predictably, viral. For the last couple of centuries we've heard the phrase 'Royal Box' in reference to certain select seating areas in British theatres and at sporting venues such as Wimbledon and Ascot, so the words have become normalized. But in fact the Royal Box at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club is very much an extension of the Court of St. James. The hour of the CNN drop, and the preceeding tsunami of posts on Grant's theoretically soporific lapse matters in that they left scads of afternoon hours in Britain for the London tabloids — who treasure Grant and follow him assiduously for his newsmaking, both accidental and not — to publish their 'gotcha' pieces. Moral of the moment? Such are the microscopic levels of attention on all who enter the Royal Box at Wimbledon. So it goes, absolutely unstoppable. Cream Blazer Duel To The Death: Sir David Beckham waves as he arrives to take his seat in the Royal Box on Centre Court on day one at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Monday, June 30, 2025. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant) Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved Knowing this, and despite his recent planned wrist surgery, England's newest knight of the realm, Sir David Beckham, trotted out his best cream-colored double-breasted to fulfill his invitation to the Royal Box bright and early in the run on June 30, as pictured above. But as summer staples go, a cream double-breasted is fraught with peril. Two pitfalls: First, the 'cream' of the thing has to be just right, which is to say, rich enough not to appear brittle, or bleached-bone-blue. Beckham's jacket does seem to have avoided that. But Pitfall No. 2 lies, in the finely honed parlance of Jermyn Street, in 'the shirtings.' Inter Miami's most fashionable owner has unfortunately chosen (or has had chosen) a blue-tinged white shirt that fights the jacket. A more muscular tone of blue, say, an end-on-end classic cut from a solid Jermyn Street shirtmaker, would have done Sir David and his jacket an enormous favor by calling out the jacket's residual creaminess. Even a more blazing white, as on Hugh Grant. But no. Sir David, the 'best underwear model in the world,' according to Tommy Hilfiger, can apparently manufacture a fashion fail. Who knew? Personally, we're deeply crushed.

All rights reserved None of which is to imply that white is at all bad — as the world knows, at Wimbledon it's the the absolute rule down on the lawns, down to and including your shoes and socks, as stipulated by the All England board for the last 138 years. Here, the extremely entertaining Cameron Norrie (currently No. 61 in the ATP rankings), gets some good air with his studious, yet daring behind-the-butt return to Chilean Nicholas Jarry on July 6. The Darn-Serious-Hair Music/Film Couple: Actor, singer and film producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas watches from the royal box alongside husband Nick Jonas during the Gentlemen's second round match between Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Oliver Tarvet of Great Britain on day three of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 2, 2025 in London, England. (Photo) Visionhaus/Getty Images Back in the Royal Box, Priyanka Chopra (Mrs. Nick Jonas) executes a perfect blaze-white statement in her shoulderless, shirt-collared dress, alongside her very serious husband, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Nick Jonas. Fair shirtings, perhaps even English, on her man as well. Together, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas are winning the (informal) Royal Box best-hair competition hands-down, during the second round Carlos Alcaraz/Oliver Tarvet match on July 2. But no matter their costume, why do the Jonas Brothers always look like they know they are about to receive some demerits from the study-hall proctor and their mom's really gonna be mad about that? It's a fashion and a music-industry mystery. The "Other" Darn-Serious-Hair/Actor-Couple: Musician and Actor Olivia Rodrigo watches from the Royal Box with boyfriend Louis Partridge during the Ladies' Singles second round match between Aryna Sabalenka and Marie Bouzkova of Czechia on day three of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 2, 2025 in London, England. (Photo) Visionhaus/Getty Images Runners-up in that Royal Box race for best-hair-on-a-couple are Louis Partridge and Olivia Rodrigo, who manage to look spanking fresh and somehow, just that little bit more relaxed and at home than Mr. and Mrs. Jonas. Red carpet-wise, that red checked shortsleeved summer dress on Ms. Rodrigo looks picnic-ready — if not actually limning the picnic tablecloth — and it hits the spot in the Royal Box. Life is but a picnic at these things. Kudos to the Rodrigo/Partridge unit. But wait! Who's that Green Lantern-Goes-To-Business-School bloke down on the left. Mystery how he even got that set going, and with the pocket-hankie matching the tie, to boot. Of the seven deadly fashion sins, man has about ten going full blast. The Sportsmen Take A Phone Break: (Right to Left) Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, professional boxer Anthony Joshua, Sports Broadcaster Gary Lineker and Angus Lineker, son of Gary Lineker, interact with their mobile phone in the royal box during the Gentlemen's Singles third round match between Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain and Taylor Fritz of United States on day five of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 4, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Visionhaus via Getty Images) Visionhaus/Getty Images Notable sportsmen from 'other' sports are always welcome in the Royal Box, and they provide a kind of relief from more seriously courtly joustings. They do bring a goodly whiff of lives spent in physical competition up into the stands, and that's the Royal Box's point. Watching the play, you want the ladies and gentlemen of the playing fields up around you. Here, from left, Angus Lineker, son of famous English footballer and broadcaster Gary Lineker, Lineker himself, British heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, and Joshua's promoter, the fast-talking Eddie Hearn, man their mailboxes at Taylor Fritz' third-round men's singles match on July 4. Excellent double-breasted khaki blazer on the big heavyweight. He looks ready to rumble. Serious Actresses Of Note Department: Rebel Wilson and Cate Blanchett chat in the Royal Box prior to Ladies' Singles first round match between Barbora Krejcikova of Czechia and Alexandra Eala of Philippines on day two of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 01, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Getty Images It might seem just another Royal Box odd couple, seeing Rebel Wilson and Cate Blanchett next to each other at a Ladies' Singles first-round match on July 1, but both of these serious ladies are, first, most notable actors and producers, second, tennis fans, and, not least, Australian. Nice man-tailored, peak-lapelled glen plaid on Blanchett, very summery. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 01: Actor Russell Crowe is seen in the Royal Box prior to Ladies' Singles first round match between Barbora Krejcikova of Czechia and Alexandra Eala of Philippines on day two of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 01, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Getty Images It's the really delightful Fraser tartan tie that got the paparazzi's eagle-eyed editors going on this shot by Hannah Peters of Getty. The tie cuts many ways, pun intended. The formidable Russell Crowe explained on X that his direct Fraser ancestry traces to Simon, the 11th Lord Fraser of Lovat, whose Scots rebelliousness led to his becoming the last man beheaded on Tower Hill, in 1747. At the well-attended event, part of the timber spectators' gallery collapsed, causing Crowe's spirited ancestor to break out in a fit of giggles shortly before the axe was wielded on his neck, which gave rise to the idiom: 'laughing (his) head off.' Here, Crowe lets the Fraser tartan do its talking on the canvas of a drop-point collared white shirt, backed by a smart navy suit. Best Cream Blazer On A Man: Actor Eddie Redmayne takes his seat in the royal box during the Gentlemen's Singles first round match between Fabio Fognini of Italy and Carlos Alcaraz of Spain on day one of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on June 30, 2025 in London, England. (Photo) Visionhaus/Getty Images Eddie Redmayne's rich cream suit with black horn buttons does everything that David Beckham's doesn't, and it moves well, to boot. Redmayne also wins on the white shirt, which here manages to create just the right amount of distance from the double-breasted's color so as not to encroach. The actor's laser-focused attention to the action as he takes his seat broadcasts the notion that the man is truly ready for anything. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 2: Actor and former professional wrestler John Cena watches from the Royal Box during the Ladies' Singles second round match between Aryna Sabalenka and Marie Bouzkova of Czechia on day three of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 2, 2025 in London, England. (Photo) Visionhaus/Getty Images Big wrestling dude and somewhat viral star John Cena was, clearly, going for the khaki waistcoat to pick up that orangy/green/brown khaki stripe in the windowpane of his jacket, but that pesky windowpane is just a couple of Pantone numbers out of reach from the waistcoat, which is trying its level best to come up and snag it. But! Any huge dude, and especially the preternaturally cool Cena, can carry off that miss. Why? Because that sky blue windowpane jacket is so excellently nerdy that you want the man wearing it in your amphibious assault team rescue-thriller, stat. Cena is the team ordnance rock. He's the character who gets to schlep the M240 and laying down the ferocious covering fire for the rescue team retrieving the hostages from (name your favorite terrorist group) in their (name your favorite failed state) jungle redoubt. Meanwhile, his wife Shay Shariatzadeh, in a perfect Royal-Box blue-and-white striped sleeveless, looks as if she's having to imagine just how long principal photography will take. The GOAT Reappears: Eight-time Wimbledon Champion Roger Federer looks on from the royal box on day eight of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 7, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Visionhaus via Getty Images) Visionhaus/Getty Images A pensive Roger Federer, once a celebrated resident of the Centre Court grass, has transitioned to the Royal Box perfectly, and he wins the suiting award on July 7 for his awesome peak-lapeled blue herringbone. But it's more than the jacket. It's the knit black silk square-cut tie, set off by a fine blaze white shirt. Federer's the GOAT. Denmark's King Frederik, right, sits in the Royal Box on Centre Court on day eight of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Monday, July 7, 2025. (AP Photo/Kin Cheung) Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved In the box with Federer on July 7, King Frederik of Denmark sports a blazer in an extremely suspicious shade of blue-green. Did he just pop down to town from an early grouse shoot with Charles? Cannot be — it's not August yet. Could there be a kilt under that jacket, with the sporran and the knife in the knee sock? But the Danes don't do kilts. Does Denmark's archipelago actually have enough forest for a unit of royal foresters? Mary, Queen of Denmark, is Australian, so maybe the jacket references an Australian rifle regiment? What code is that jacket speaking in? The richly proportioned collar and tie are working well for the Dane, but that disappears under the infinite number of questions posed by the jacket. One thing is certain: This jacket can drown anything. And maybe that is the Royal Box message.

There's something for everyone at local gallery's summer show
BRONZE swallows, a ceramic chicken and glorious Yorkshire landscapes are among artworks on show at a popular gallery. The Bingley Gallery's annual Summer Exhibition aims to test the public's appetite for artists who have not showed there before, alongside new work from returning and permanent artists. The exhibition will bring something to suit everyone's taste: the walls are decked with a considerable variety of genres, styles and media. As always, the gallery maintains its commitment to promoting local and Yorkshire-based artists. Football Crazy by Andrew Storrie Ian Tothill with his artwork Variants on Five Rise Lock by Heather Swain It is always interesting to learn from the artists the inspiration behind their artworks. For Matthew Duckett, his landscapes can result from local views or even movies - many of the titles are quotes from the 1958 British war film Ice Cold in Alex. Thornton-based Ian Tothill's mixed media/collages result from chance finds or encounters. One, Tumbling Hills, is derived from a chance encounter with an oud-playing car wash owner, who he met while searching for a rare, above ground glimpse of Bradford Beck. Richard Smith's works relate to historic weaving in our region. Some of these are the original artwork, often annotated. After his family's three generations in Bradford's textile design and weaving business, Richard turned to archiving the surviving artefacts of the design process. In a further step he has prepared a range of these artefacts into framed wall art. These include the point papers used as an intermediate step in translating the design to the punched cards used by Jacquard looms to create the woven pattern. Technical perhaps, but beautiful and redolent of the styles of earlier years. Nostalgia and humour run through the characterful watercolours of Andrew Storrie. These reflect northern life, often with a twist of humour and a subtle nod to the Bantams, with claret and amber scarves in evidence. As it states on Andrew's website 'it's not perhaps surprising to learn he has a reverence for the fast disappearing red pillar boxes and telephone booths that can often be seen in his work.' Bev Morton is a Thornton-based mixed-media artist currently painting and creating monotypes in acrylic and collage. Her mixed media artwork beautifully focuses on the forms and colours found in the natural world. Richard Smith's 18 Shades of Flower Malham Cove by Rob Thomson Stella Verity is among the exhibitors Stella Verity and Rob Thomson bring more conventional watercolours, but, for this show, they too are experimenting; Rob with the inclusion of mixed media and Stella with neurographic artwork. This artistic approach uses free-flowing organic lines and is considered as being therapeutic and meditative. An active member of the international group Urban Sketchers, Rob is a former architect who has always enjoyed drawing in his spare time and, now, professionally. Retired teacher Stella turned to watercolour after attending lessons at Shipley College. She has since developed the technique and allowed her enthusiasm for both gardening and cooking to influence her subject matter. There are dreamy land and seascapes from Rachel Hines and big bold abstracted landscapes from Leyla Murr, who works from studios in Bingley and Shipley. In a break with tradition there are charming local scenes, particularly of the canal by the late Alan John Green who lived in Shipley. Alan moved to Bradford after the war and attended Bradford School of Art. He exhibited pictures in the Bradford Biennale at the Cartwright Hall in Lister Park. Swallows in bronze by Victoria Chichinadze Jane Hurford's ceramic hen The Bingley Gallery in Park Road The 3D offering in the exhibition is notable too. Award-winning Ilkley- based Ukrainian sculptor Victoria Chichinadze has four elegant cast bronzes featuring birds, while Mick Kirkby-Geddes' welded steel animals are much more down-to-earth in welded steel. Mick works alone in his workshop at Holmbridge near Holmfirth, sorting through the discarded junk metal of everyday life. Keen to see nothing go to waste, he spends his days cutting metal, before welding it back together with new steel to create his sculptures. For the show, local pottery guru Jane Hurford has restocked, making this the place to visit for a ceramic hen. Jane is a tutor at Hive community arts charity in Shipley and can turn her hand to a range of styles of work, often with an element of fun. Many of her works are designed to be weatherproof for outdoor display There is something to suit a wide range of tastes at the exhibition, and everyone is welcome to come along and have a look. The show runs until September 8 2025 The Bingley Gallery is in Park Road; opening hours are Thursday to Sunday 10am to 5pm.

VIDEO: Pep Guardiola belts out Oasis hit 'Don't Look Back in Anger' as Man City boss attends Heaton Park reunion concert with daughter Maria
Pep pictured with Gallagher family before show Manchester rockers play massive Heaton Park gig City boss belts out smash hit with daughter WHAT HAPPENED? The returning rockers played their first of five Heaton Park shows on Friday night. Guardiola attended the gig with his daughter, taking time to pose alongside the Gallaghers' children for a photo posted to Instagram. The City manager was clearly enjoying himself, belting out the anthem which has become a regular feature of the club's celebrations over recent years. After City's 2021 title victory, a video of Guardiola singing 'Don't Look Back in Anger' while smoking a cigar went viral. Advertisement WATCH THE CLIP THE BIGGER PICTURE Guardiola must have been feeling the love of his adopted hometown last night. Liam showed his appreciation for the Catalan's efforts over the past decade, dedicating a song to the "greatest f*cking manager of all time". Roughly 80,000 people attended the homecoming show, which ended with a massive firework display. WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER CITY? WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER CITY? City may well be tempted to look back on their previous campaign with a dose of anger. The Citizens failed to win a major trophy for the first time in eight years. Pep's preparations for the coming term will start in earnest over the next few weeks, with the Sky Blues kicking off their Premier League season against Wolves on August 16 at Molinuex.
