Wimbledon's Royal Box is known for its lavish guest list and there will be plenty of familiar faces in the stands on Day Six.
Spectators will see Emma Raducanu team up with Andy Murray in mixed doubles, in what could be the two-time Wimbledon champion's final match, while Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Cameron Norrie and Harriet Dart will be looking to reach the fourth round.
Earlier this week, Murray thanked Wimbledon organisers for an “emotional” farewell ceremony after his final appearance at the championship began with a loss in the men's doubles with his brother Jamie.
Fans can expect to see some famous faces popping out above the crowded crowds over the next two weeks. The Royal Box has been the epicenter of celebrity events every year. In 2023, for example, American musician Ariana Grande caused a frenzy among fans when she appeared in the men's singles final without her wedding ring.

Located in the highest grandstand on Centre Court, the Royal Box has been used for the entertainment of Wimbledon's friends and guests since 1922 and has exclusive seating for 74. Invitations are sent by the Chairman of the All England Club, but may also be suggested by members of the Championships Organising Committee or the Lawn Tennis Association.
While many celebrities, such as Beckham and his mother Sandra, are repeat visitors, each year a new generation of actors and celebrities joins Wimbledon's VIP world.
