Wimbledon's VERY star-filled Royal Box! Olivia Rodrigo, Dave Grohl and Tom Daley lead the celebs and royals enjoying the best seats at Centre Court
Proper news from Britain - News from Britain you won’t find anywhere else. Not the tosh the big media force-feed you every day!
The first three days of Wimbledon have seen plenty of action in SW19 at the All Lawn and Tennis Club - and plenty of famous faces have been spotted with hot seats to the court.
On Wednesday, the famous Royal Box hosted royals, singers and an Olympian as Carlos Alcaraz returned to Centre Court in a head-to-head with Brit Oliver Tarvet after his thrilling first round match against Fabio Fognini.
As the third day of play opened, Olivia Rodrigo enjoyed an intimate moment with boyfriend Louis Partridge as the couple held hands and cuddled up close.
Fresh from her headlining slot at Glastonbury, Olivia, 22, was dressed to impress in a red and cream checkered dress, while Enola Holmes star Louis, also 22, was sartorially in sync with his girlfriend in a scarlet tie and navy suit.
The couple - who first sparked dating rumors in October 2023 - looked completely smitten as they cosied up to one another in the stands.
They weren't the only cute couple in attendance, with Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas looking more loved-up than ever.
The couple only had eyes for each other before watching the action at the star-studded tournament, which was also attended by the likes of Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum; Tom Daley and Princess Michael of Kent.
Dave and his wife Jordyn returned to Wimbledon in their first public appearance together since it was revealed he has fathered a secret child with another woman.
In a full circle moment, the pair had not been seen in public together since last July's outing at the tennis tournament - when fans noted the rocker appeared 'snappy and irritated'.
Unbeknownst to onlookers at the time, the rocker had recently cheated on his wife.
The following month, the Foo Fighters frontman, 56, welcomed a baby girl with Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old LA-based, rock-and-roll fan - leading him to post a public mea culpa admitting his affair in September.
Since Dave's shock admission, the couple have been trying to get their marriage back on track, with sources sharing in February that Jordyn, 49, has 'forgiven' her husband.
And the couple put on an united front as they joined a slew of stars for day three of the Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday, taking their seats in the famed Royal Box.

In 1997, a year after The Cable Guy came out, the couple married in Hawaii. Their first child Maude was born six months later and in 2002 Iris completed their family.
