David Beckham was amongst the big names earning an invitation to the exclusive viewing area.

And the Manchester United and England hero brought his mum with him to enjoy the tennis alongside him.

Also in attendance was famous Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins who watched with her husband Andrew Levitas.

Although there could have been some awkward encounters around the hospitality areas after previous tension between Becks and Jenkins.

Back in 2014, leaked emails from Beckham allegedly labelled Jenkins' OBE as "a f*****g joke".

Other stars watching the tennis included pop star Pixie Lott and music icon Sir Cliff Richard.

As well as Sky Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher, pop sensation James Blunt and a number of actors from some of TV's biggest shows.

While Sir David Attenborough was also spotted watching on in the Royal Box.

The environmentalist and broadcasting legend, 98, has a long standing connection to tennis.

Attenborough spearheaded a campaign to change tennis balls to the colour yellow.

In the late 1960's while working for the BBC, Attenborough was tasked with bringing colour to British televisions.

And in a bid to make things easier for viewers at home, he recommended changing the colour of the ball from white to yellow.

All the stars were hoping to watch some good tennis as they took their seats on centre court.

And the opening tie for them to tuck into was Carlos Alcaraz vs Mark Lajal.

While Emma Raducanu will start her campaign against Reneta Zarazua afterwards.

The 2021 US Open champ was due to face Ekaterina Alexandrova, but saw the 22nd seed pull out with illness this morning.

She was swiftly replaced by 'lucky loser' Zarazua.

Stars have to be invited into the Royal Box, with only 74 seats up for grabs for the elite fans.

It's been used for guests of Wimbledon since 1922 and has seen British and overseas Royal Families attend over the years.
