Beckhams join royals at Wimbledon

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in the star-studded Royal Box with David and Victoria Beckham at Wimbledon today to watch the men’s final.

The power couples are sitting in the exclusive enclosure with Hollywood stars Bradley Cooper and Samuel L Jackson as tennis aces Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic battle it out to be crowned king of SW19.

Adding to the star power on Centre Court are Hugh Jackman, and Kate’s family – Pippa, Carole and Michael Middleton.

Cyclist Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Cliff Richard, and snooker legend Ken Doherty are also taking in the tournament’s finale.

Bookmakers’ favourite Djokovic will try to prevent a resurgent Federer win an unprecedented eighth Wimbledon crown 11 years after his first.

But Andy Murray’s mother Judy left the grounds less than an hour before the match, and when asked if she would be watching, she said: “No, I’m going shopping.”

Ms Murray, rumoured to be starring in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing, just laughed when she was asked how her dance training was coming along.

It is Kate and William’s second day out at the All England Club this week, after the pair watched Murray crash out of the Grand Slam on Wednesday.

Kate is wearing what is believed to be a green and blue printed Jonathan Saunders dress which she wore during the couple’s trip to the Solomon Islands in 2012.

It is also Beckham’s second time in the Royal Box after he and his mother Sandra were among the celebrated sporting guests last Saturday.

Today, Victoria and David – dubbed Posh and Becks – arrived in a black Range Rover, with the football superstar in the driving seat. He smiled as he got out of the vehicle.

Designer Victoria is wearing a dark-coloured dress which has orange and white panels at the front.

Hollywood star Hugh Jackman is also enjoying his second day out at Wimbledon this summer. He said: “I feel very lucky.”

The Wolverine star added: “This is probably in my top five sporting events in the world.”

He said he loves both Federer and Djokovic.

Pippa Middleton and her parents Carole and Michael Middleton arrived together at the All England Club.

Pippa is wearing a grey and white dress, sunglasses and wedges.

Hangover heartthrob Cooper was set to be joined by his girlfriend Suki Waterhouse’s father Norman who is a plastic surgeon.

Cooper and model Suki sat next to each other in the Royal Box on Friday.

At last year’s final, Cooper sat next to actor and fellow pin-up Gerard Butler and they were photographed taking a selfie.

Thor actor Chris Hemsworth is also on the Royal Box guest-list today.
