Celebrities and royalty gathered in the royal box as the Wimbledon Championships drew to a close on on Sunday with the men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Keira Knightley was seated alongside actors Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal and her husband, Klaxon's musician James Righton. The Pirates Of The Caribbean star wore a crisp white belted outfit with black sunglasses and a pearl necklace, while Righton matched in a cream double-breasted suit and tie. Scott, known for his roles in Fleabag and Ripley, opted for a beige light suit with gold-rimmed sunglasses, and was sat next to All Of Us Strangers co-star Paul Mescal. Gladiator II and Normal People star Mescal wore a dark jacket, white shirt and colourful patterned tie. Nicole Kidman was pictured in conversation with Vogue editor-in-chief Dame Anna Wintour. Kidman wore a sharp white blazer and shirt, while Wintour sported her signature dark glasses with a floral-embellished dress and chunky green necklace. Lady Frederick Windsor, wearing a sleeveless green print dress, arrived at the All England Club as the day's play began with her husband, Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Prince Michael of Kent.

Nicole Kidman and Anna Wintour get on famously in the Royal Box at Wimbledon and the actress even gets a smile out of former Vogue editor
Nicole Kidman and Anna Wintour were seen getting on famously on the final day of the Wimbledon 2025 Championships on Sunday. Australian actress Nicole, 58, and former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna, 75, were seated beside one another at the Royal Box in Centre Court. The pair brought the glamour as the beaming sun shone down on them at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. Anna wore a white figure-hugging dress that featured long sleeves, oozing summer with petals stitched on to the frock. Meanwhile, Nicole opted for a cream double-breasted blazer layered over a smart collared shirt. As the games got underway, including the women's doubles final match, Nicole and Anna were engrossed in conversation. Snaps showed the duo even laughing together, as Anna cracked a smile to her Wimbledon pal. On Anna's left-hand side was actress Keira Knightley and her husband James Righton. They were also seen engaging in conversation with Anna and Nicole in the star-studded box. Meanwhile, Keira, 40, was pictured in fits of laughter as she spoke to Irish actors Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. The duo were in good spirits as they brought the fun and laughter for the final day of this year's Wimbledon. It's unclear what was so funny but the trio appeared to be getting on like a house on fire. Elsewhere, the Princess of Wales beamed as she arrived at the All England Club for the men's Wimbledon final this afternoon - and she was accompanied by her tennis-mad children. Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, were dressed in their Sunday best as they greeted officials in SW19 ahead of the men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Janick Sinner. Mother-of-three Kate Middleton has been patron of the All England Lawn and Tennis Club, also known as the AELTC (which organises the day-to-day running of the prestigious tournament), since 2016. While she has brought George and Charlotte to the sporting event, Prince Louis, who is known for his cheeky antics during spectator events, was absent. Louis, who turned seven in April, last delighted royal fans with his funny facial expressions and adorable beaming smile, showing off his new adult front teeth, at Trooping the Colour in June. The Princess looked radiant in a blue dress as she arrived at the All England Club for the second consecutive day this afternoon - after presenting the trophy at the women's final on Saturday.
