Who is in the Royal Box on the fifth day of Wimbledon?

Wimbledon is in its fifth day, with the crowds looking forward to another day of sporting drama.

Today (Friday 7 July), Andy Murray resumes his Wimbledon match against Stefanos Tsitsipas today after the 36-year-old produced a stunning comeback under the lights on Centre Court before the contest was suspended due to the 11pm curfew last night.

The two-time Wimbledon champion was staring at an early elimination as an inspired Tsitsipas took the opening set on a tiebreak, but Murray roared back to win the crucial second-set decider.

On Wednesday (5 July), the biggest tennis tournament was interrupted by Just Stop Oil protesters, with three arrests made for aggravated trespass and criminal damage.

Security at the event has been heightened following the protests, which saw confetti and puzzle pieces scattered across Court 18.

Above the mingling crowds in the Royal Box, fans can expect to see some famous faces over the course of the next two weeks, including members of the royal family as well as celebrities and public figures.

So far, the Royal Box has seen the likes of Wicked star Idina Menzel, former BAFTA chair Krishnendu Majumdar, former prime minister David Cameron, David Beckham, astronaut Tim Peake, Bear Grylls, and retired tennis player Roger Federer in its seats.

Several members of the royal family have also been spotted, including Prince Michael of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess of Wales, who is the royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC).

The Prince and Princess of Wales are regular occupants of the Royal Box during tennis season, as are Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

In contrast, King Charles III and Queen Camilla rarely make an appearance at Wimbledon. As the former Prince of Wales, Charles was last seen at the tournament in 2012 to watch Federer’s match against Fabio Fognini. Prior to that, he had not attended Wimbledon since 1970.
