Rob Brydon and Usain Bolt are among the famous faces getting the ultimate VIP treatment in Wimbledon’s Royal Box today (Friday 3 July). After the Princess of Wales made her first appearance at the 2026 tournament on Thursday (2 July), a fresh batch of stars are in the exclusive seats for what promises to be another exciting day on Centre Court. Located in a prime viewing spot, the exclusive Royal Box has been used to welcome friends and guests of Wimbledon since 1922. Those lucky enough to have bagged invites are today watching back-to-back third round clashes, starting with France’s Arthur Rinderknech up against seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic. Jelena Ostapenko will then be hoping to cause an upset in her match against women’s number one Aryna Sabalenka, before the USA’s Michael Zheng – who knocked out British hopeful Cameron Norrie in round one – takes on the men’s third seed, Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime.
