Why the Royal Box Still Matters
Only 80 seats exist inside Wimbledon’s Royal Box, and invitations remain famously exclusive. The All England Club handpicks guests each year, mixing sporting legends with film stars and political figures.

Ratings for the men’s and women’s finals broadcasts are expected to climb too, fueled partly by the celebrity buzz surrounding SW19 this year.
