Wimbledon Day Four: From Bear Grylls to Celia Imrie – Who Stole the Spotlight in the Royal Box?

Wimbledon 2025 day four is underway and the royal box is already packed with a star-studded guest list made up of TV presenters, actors and sports stars.

Day four of the world-famous tennis tournament features a packed schedule with a raft of British players in action, including Jack Draper and Dan Evans , the latter taking on Novak Djokovic on Centre Court .

Yesterday, Emma Raducanu headlined a brilliant day for British tennis at Wimbledon that also saw wins for Sonay Kartal and Cameron Norrie.

Beyond the tennis, there have been plenty of famous faces for fans to spot, with the likes of Dave Grohl , Olivia Rodrigo and John Cena showing up on day three . The opening day at SW19 saw England football icons Sir David Beckham and Gareth Southgate rub shoulders with actors Eddie Redmayne and Jason Isaacs.

Perhaps the biggest draw on day four is Bear Grylls , the infamous adventurer and TV presenter.

The royal box, situated in the prime-viewing slot at Centre Court, has been used for the entertainment of friends and guests of Wimbledon since 1922, and it has 74 exclusive seats.

Invitations are sent by the Chairman of the All England Club, but members of The Championships’ Organising Committee and The Lawn Tennis Association can make suggestions.

Many celebrities are returning faces each year, like David Beckham and his mother Sandra, while newer celebrities and actors are inducted into the Wimbledon world each year.
