As Wimbledon reaches the semi-finals, everyone is desperate to catch a glimpse of the legends on the court.

But it’s not just players drawing people’s attention at one of the world’s most popular sporting events.

The tennis competition is known for attracting an A-list audience, who have become almost as much of a spectacle as the sport itself.

And this year is no different. Wimbledon 2019 has seen some of Britain’s biggest stars don their smartest outfits and head to the Royal Box, the seats above Centre Court reserved for the royal family and invited guests of the All England Club.

As the men's semi-finals concludes, with Roger Federer winning against old rival Rafael Nadal, here are some of the familiar faces from day 11 of Wimbledon:

Earlier in the week, Meghan Markle made an appearance at the Wimbledon Championship to watch friend Serena Williams play.

The Duchess of Sussex chose a casual look for the outing, dressed in jeans, a white striped L'Agence blazer, a black Lavender Hill top, and a pair of Finlay and Co sunglasses.

The new mother accessorised with a gold necklace with an “A” charm, likely a nod to two-month-old son Archie Harrison.

This year’s Royal Box has also seen Kate Middleton, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Sir Richard Branson, and Twiggy among those in attendance.

On Saturday, both the Duchess of Sussex and the Duchess of Cambridge will attend the Wimbledon women’s singles final, the palace announced.

The outing will mark the second time the pair attend the women’s singles final at Wimbledon together, having done so for the first time last year.
