Members of the royal family and celebrities alike trooped to the royal box to watch their favorites at the latest tennis tournament at Wimbledon. The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, after meeting with some wheelchair athletes along several ballgirls and ballboys at the players’ lawn, proceeded to the members’ dining room for a private lunch, before heading to the royal box for a front row seat to all the tennis action.

According to the official Wimbledon website, the royal box which contains a total of 74 seats is used to entertain “friends and guests of Wimbledon,” including royals from around the world, tennis stars, celebrities, commercial partners, heads of government, prime ministers and more.
