Beckham, Guardiola and the Princess of Wales: Welcome to Wimbledon’s Royal Box

New York Times  

Where might you find Jeff Bezos, David Attenborough, the Princess of Wales, Kylie Minogue, Prince Albert of Monaco, Pep Guardiola, Bear Grylls, David Beckham, Samuel L Jackson, David Cameron, British daytime TV personality Mr Motivator, Sachin Tendulkar, Richard Branson, Alex Ferguson, assorted minor and not so minor members of the Royal Family, scientists, directors of the National Health Service, art historians, captains of industry, professors, doctors and James Bond? GO DEEPER Christopher Eubanks: The 6ft 7in, ace-loving American who is making up for lost time The Royal Box has been at the south end of Centre Court since 1922 and according to the All England Lawn Tennis Club “is used for the entertainment of”, among others, “the Royal Family, the tennis world, individuals of distinction and others who in various ways contribute to the betterment of our lives and society”. Day four was ‘green matters’ — Bear Grylls, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins, for his Green Sport award, not his cap, and actor Niamh Cusack. They were joined by the likes of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola; England women’s football captain Leah Williamson; Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar; Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis; and England test cricket captain Ben Stokes. If he came without a jacket, tie or shoes, he would have had two choices – not staying, or going to get some extra stuff.” Alan Chalmers, who had handled Centre Court VIP security for nearly 40 years and was retiring after the tournament, didn’t hold back.
