Queen Camilla and Hugh Grant are among the famous faces watching the tennis from the Royal Box on Wimbledon’s Centre Court on Wednesday.

The Queen made an unexpected appearance to the All England Club, delighting tennis fans as she arrived at SW19 fresh from a royal engagement at Buckingham Palace.

On Tuesday, she took part in four events during the French State Visit in Windsor, including the evening’s formal state banquet.

The Queen then was back on duty again Wednesday morning for another engagement before joining King Charles at Buckingham Palace before making her way to watch the action unfold on Centre Court.

The Queen was welcomed by All England Club chair Debbie Jevans before settling into the Royal Box to watch the quarter-final clash between rising star Mirra Andreeva, the No. 7 seed, and unseeded Swiss player Belinda Bencic.

Grant was spotted arriving with his wife, Anna Eberstein.

Also in attendance was Olympic gold medallist Katherine Grainger, while former Prime Minister Sir John Major and wife Norma were also seen enjoying the day’s play.

Miller, 43, was among the most photographed arrivals, stepping out in a colourful floral mini-dress alongside her partner, actor and model Oli Green for day nine of the championships.

The couple were joined in the stands by a glittering guest list that included legendary actor Sir Ian McKellen and classical singer Katherine Jenkins.

The A-list turnout came after a weekend marked by patchy rain and glimpses of sun.

But by Tuesday, the skies had cleared, setting the stage for a sun-soaked day of Grand Slam tennis - and celebrity spotting.

The Welsh singer, 45, arrived at the All England Club in a flowing pastel pink floral dress alongside her husband, filmmaker Andrew Levitas, 47, who looked sharp in a tailored three-piece suit.

Also spotted soaking up the tennis action was former England footballer John Terry, 44, who kept things smart in a navy blazer and jeans.

Arsenal footballers Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka were also spotted in SW19 alongside English cricketer Harry Brook.

Transport for London (TfL) has apologised to customers affected by the delays on the ninth day of the championships.

Norrie, a semi-finalist in 2022, is only the third British man to reach the last eight more than once in the last 50 years, after Tim Henman and Sir Andy Murray.

Meanwhile, fans saw tennis legend Roger Federer grace Wimbledon with his presence as the eight-time champion took his seat in the royal box at Centre Court on Monday.

Federer, 43, returned to the hallowed sporting arena where he achieved some of his greatest triumphs as he joined a host of well-known faces watching the action on day eight of the championships.

The Swiss maestro, who retired from professional tennis in 2022, was warmly welcomed by fans and fellow spectators alike as he took his seat alongside with Mirka.

The appearance was especially fitting as the first match on Centre Court saw Federer’s long-time rival, Serbian Novak Djokovic, take on Australia’s Alex de Minaur for a place in the quarter finals of the men’s singles.

Federer’s eight singles titles at SW19 is one more than 28-year-old Djokovic has won. However the Serb edges the Swiss for grand slams, with 24 under his belt compared to Federer’s 20.

Sitting behind Federer was comedian Michael McIntyre, who was dressed in a blue suit, dark blue tie and pink shirt.

The Royal Box was packed with notable guests, including Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, who was seated alongside King Frederik X of Denmark, and Carole and Michael Middleton, parents of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
