Who's in the Royal Box at Wimbledon? Elle Fanning, Bear Grylls and Jason Isaacs lead stars on Day 10

Elle Fanning, Bear Grylls and Jason Isaacs led the celebrities in the Royal Box at the quarter-finals of the 2026 Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday.

US star Fanning - who earned an Oscar nomination in last year’s Sentimental Value - was joined by her music executive husband Gus Wenner at Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

Other VIPs in attendance at SW19 were actors Dominic West and Emily Mortimer, former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne and Queen Camilla.

The stars descended on the tennis tournament to watch Marta Kostyuk take on Jasmine Paolini.

This was being followed by British wildcard sensation Arthur Fery’s eagerly-awaited match against Italy’s Flavio Cobolli.

Wimbledon organisers have urged guests to stay hydrated and keep safe under the sun as guests gear up for what is expected to be the hottest day of the championships so far.

Guests milling around the grounds fanned themselves to keep cool and watched matches under parasols in the absence of any shade in the stands.

All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton insisted Wimbledon is prepared for the spike in temperatures, with plans in place to protect guests, staff and players in the heat.

She told reporters: “We’ve had a bit of practise, particularly last year, but over the week before the championships (as well), and we’ve got our usual measures in place.

“There’s the heat rule present for the players, although I think, looking at the temperatures, we don’t anticipate getting close to that over these next few days.”

Wimbledon’s heat rule allows for a 10-minute break during a match when the wet bulb globe temperature reaches 30.1C or higher.
