Who's in the Royal Box at Wimbledon? Bear Grylls, Feargal Sharkey and William Hague among famous faces on Centre Court on day four

Bear Grylls and Feargul Sharkey were among the celebrities watching the tennis from the Royal Box at Wimbledon’s Centre Court on Thursday.

TV adventurer Grylls watched the early action with his wife Shara as Britain’s Dan Evans took on the seven-times champions Novak Djokovic in the men’s second round.

Also in the Royal Box was the Undertones singer and environmentalist Feargal Sharkey, Bridget Jones and Calendar Girls actress Celia Imrie and former prime minister William Hague.

The stars joined thousands of tennis fans watching the Centre Court action a day after US pop star Olivia Rodrigo turned heads as she brought her actor boyfriend Louis Partridge along to SW19.

The couple were seen chatting and joking with Team GB diver and Olympic gold medallist Tom Daley in the Royal Box.

Actress and producer Priyanka Chopra was also a guest at the All England Club, where she was seen with musician husband Nick Jonas.

Chopra mingled with guests despite the overcast skies and light rain showers, which brought a welcome relief from the stifling temperatures that have gripped the capital this past week.

Music icon Dave Grohl, 56, made a stylish appearance in a blue suit, contrasting patterned tie, and black sunglasses, appearing alongside his wife Jordyn Blum who wore a cream jacket and trousers.

The pair, were seen at SW19 together for the first time since the rock star admitted last year to fathering a love-child with another woman.

The couple were sat together in front of England manager Thomas Tuchel.

Earlier in week Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett took in Centre Court action from the Royal Box.

The Tár and Blue Jasmine star, dressed elegantly in a pale summer suit and dark sunglassesm, took her seat among the crowd alongside her mother June on Tuesday - sat next to fellow Australian actress Rebel Wilson.

The stars’ presence followed a high-profile opening day, which saw Sir David Beckham take in the tournament alongside his mum, Sandra Beckham.

The 50-year-old looked effortlessly stylish on Monday in a full-canvas, double-breasted suit in off-white silk-linen, styled with a blue micro-stripe cotton shirt and a dark brown knitted silk-linen tie from his BECKHAM x BOSS collection.

He also posed for a selfie with tennis legend Maria Sharapova, which was shared on X account OneTennis.

“Sharapova. Beckham. #Wimbledon. Enough said.” the accompanying caption said, along with a tennis ball and strawberry emoji.”
