Celebrity Showcase at Wimbledon
On Wednesday, Wimbledon’s Royal Box was a veritable showcase of celebrity talent, featuring notable figures such as Olivia Rodrigo, John Cena, Dave Grohl, and the celebrity couple Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. The star-studded presence appeared to rival the excitement unfolding on Centre Court, where two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and top-ranked female player Aryna Sabalenka secured spots in the third round of the prestigious tournament.
Exclusive Royal Box Experience
The Royal Box, which offers exclusive seating by invitation only, was filled with an impressive gathering of famous faces as Wimbledon celebrated Day 3 of its iconic grass-court competition. Sabalenka, who expressed her aim to concentrate solely on her match, admitted that the dazzling array of celebrities made it a challenge.
“I was trying not to look today,” she said. “Later on, I’m going to open social media and ask, ‘OK, who was there?’”
Notable Attendees
Among the crowd, Rodrigo, recently lauded for her performance at the Glastonbury music festival in support of her album GUTS, was spotted engaging in conversation with the former England soccer coach Roy Hodgson. Cena, known for his wrestling and film roles, was also seated nearby. Rock legends Grohl, famous for his work with Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, added to the star lineup, alongside the adored duo Chopra and Jonas.
Other Hollywood personalities in attendance included directors and actors Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, as well as Dominic Cooper. Beyond the world of entertainment, the event also drew British sports icons, notably Olympic gold medalists Sophie Bray (field hockey) and Tom Daley (diving), and Paralympic gold medalist William Ellard (swimming).
Royal Presence
Adding an extra touch of royalty to the day, Princess Michael of Kent was also present, marking her presence at one of the sport’s most prestigious championships.
