The final day of Wimbledon 2024 has arrived, with a whole host of sports stars, celebrities and royalty flocking to SW19 for the annual tennis tournament.

While all eyes are firmly on the action, we're also doing some star spotting to see which VIPs have been lucky enough to bag a seat in the royal box on Centre Court each day.

We're now into the final day of the two-week tournament and we've seen a number of big names in the royal box, including David Beckham, Sir David Attenborough, Dave Grohl, Dustin Hoffman, Salma Hayek, Dame Mary Berry. 

There's also been royal appearances from Queen Camilla, Princess Beatrice, Prince Michael of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester and Prince Albert of Monaco, as well as the Princess of Wales's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton

The Princess of Wales made a welcome return to the spotlight on Sunday in what is only her second public appearance of the year amid her ongoing cancer treatment. She was joined by her daughter Princess Charlotte and her sister, Pippa Middleton

The much-coveted seats have been used for friends and guests of the tennis tournament since 1922, with 74 spots in total.

Invitations come from the Chairman of the All England Club, taking into account suggestions from members of The Championships' Organising Committee, The Lawn Tennis Association and other relevant sources.

Guests get to watch matches on dark green Lloyd Loom wicker chairs but there's a strict dress code in place.

Gentlemen are required to wear a suit or a jacket and tie, while ladies are asked not to wear hats to avoid obscuring the vision of those seated behind them.

After play is finished for the day, guests in the royal box are then invited to the Clubhouse for lunch, tea and drinks.

Take a look and see who is in the royal box today...
