Everything to know about Wimbledon's exclusive Royal Box

Wimbledon is not only known for its thrilling tennis matches, but also for the prestigious Royal Box, where invitees can watch the action up close. The Royal Box is an invite-only section in the stands of Centre Court, and it has 74 luxury chairs for the royals and elite guests. There is a strict dress code for those sitting in the Royal Box - men must wear a suit or jacket with a tie, while women are asked not to wear hats to ensure an unobstructed view for those behind them.

The tradition of the Royal Box began in 1922, 45 years after the first Wimbledon tournament. Even before its official debut, members of the royal family, including King George V, Queen Mary, and the Prince and Princess of Wales, were regular attendees of the tournament. King George V became the club's president in 1907, solidifying the tradition of a royal presence at Wimbledon.

Every year, the guest list for the Royal Box is carefully selected, with sporting stars, members of the royal family, and A-list celebrities among the invitees. The Royal Box has become a spectacle of its own, and fans eagerly anticipate which VIPs will score an invite. So keep an eye out for the stars in the Royal Box at this year's Wimbledon tournament.
