Who's in the Royal Box at Wimbledon? Mollie King and Greg James among stars watching the action on Day 2

Mollie King and Greg James are among the lucky celebrities watching day two of the 2026 Wimbledon Championships from the Royal Box.

The former Saturdays singer, 39, looked chic in a cream skirt suit alongside her cricketer husband Stuart Broad at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Tuesday.

King - who suffered a health scare earlier this month - completed her look with a pair of square-frame sunglasses and pumps.

Radio 1 DJ James, meanwhile, was dapper in a navy blazer, chinos and a pair of dark brown suede loafers. He was joined by comedian and Thursday Murder Club author Richard Osman, who brought his wife Ingrid Oliver.

Actress Celia Imrie was also seen in the Royal Box.

The stars descended on Centre Court to watch Taylor Townsend take on Iga Świątek, Alexander Blockx versus Alexander Zverev and Serena Williams against Maya Joint.

It comes after a star-studded turnout for day one of the tennis tournament on Monday, with Sir David Beckham bringing his mother Sandra to watch the action.

Tess Daly, fresh from her split from Vernon Kay, was also in attendance yesterday with a friend, rubbing shoulders with Westlife star Ronan Keating in the Royal Box.

Wimbledon may be all about Centre Court, but some of the best seats in SW19 were found in the Champagne Lanson suite.

As the tournament got underway on Tuesday, Cat Burns, Dermot O'Leary, Henry Holland, Chris Robshaw and Camilla Kerslake were among the familiar faces raising a glass to the 49th year of the French champagne house's partnership with The Championships.

Away from the action on court, six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek traded tennis for literature as she hosted an intimate Coach Story Session ahead of the tournament.

The afternoon combined a book club with cultural conversation, as guests explored the stories that have shaped the Polish star on and off the court.

Reflecting on her return to the All England Club following last year's triumph, Swiatek admitted the emotions feel different.

“The emotions are for sure different, there's a bit more pressure but also you can feel grateful for what happened here before,” she said. “The first time wasn't that easy, but later on I learned how to manage all of that and take as much experience, confidence and power from the year before.

“Honestly, last year my dream came true. I can say that because I wasn't even dreaming about that. It seemed really abstract to win Wimbledon, so it was a really great and magnificent experience.”
