‘Source' Shares Why Hugh Grant Has Been Banned From Wimbledon's Royal Box
Rob Shuter exclusively learned about Hugh Grant's 'humiliating' napping incident at Wimbledon that got him banned from the Royal Box. On Wednesday, he appeared to be struggling to keep his eyes open during the Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli quarter-final match. A photo showed Grant wearing black shades, while his hands were clasped together. He was also slouched on his right side, seemingly dozing off in his seat behind Queen Camilla.
A source described the actor sleeping during one of the biggest matches as 'mortifying,' revealing that it occurred right behind the Queen consort. A second insider claimed it looked like Grant was 'watching late-night cable,' with his 'eyes closed' and 'slumped to one side.' Press photos that surfaced following the incident fit the description. They further called it 'absolutely humiliating.'
Shuter then disclosed why Hugh Grant was banned from the Royal Box at Wimbledon. The napping situation left the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club officials 'deeply unimpressed.' One source claimed that Grant's falling asleep 'was seen as totally disrespectful to the tradition, the players — and the royal family,' which is why he was 'quietly blacklisted' from future invites to the Royal Box.
The source continued that Grant 'blew' the honor of watching tennis from the Royal Box. They argued that the tournament 'isn't a place to nap.' The insider continued that getting to watch a match from those seats is 'an honor,' and he 'blew it.'

Offord wants 'more days like' this after hat-trick
Linfield striker Kieran Offord said he was "buzzing" to contribute after his hat-trick helped the Blues beat Dungannon Swifts 3-0. Offord's three goals came in the second half as Linfield began their title defence with a comfortable win at Windsor Park. And the striker, who joined the Blues in January, hopes his treble can kickstart his career at the south Belfast club. "It's the perfect day, three points and three goals," he told BBC Sport NI. "Second half we kept doing the right thing and eventually it came. the difference was we had three chances, and we took them. "I have a few personal targets and when you start to tick them off in one game it gives you confidence. I want more days like today where my goals help the team get three points."

Tottenham Hotspur Have Set Their Sights On This Manchester City Playmaker: Good Option For Frank?
In a recent report, journalists Daniel Feliciano and Dean Jones stated that Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Manchester City playmaker James McAtee. It has been claimed that Spurs are eager to get a deal done for the English talent this summer. McAtee's Impressive Form In English Football McAtee managed to shine at times for Man City in the previous campaign when he put in a handful of eye-catching displays for them in the final third. The 22-year-old found the back of the net seven times in 27 matches for the Mancunian club last season across all fronts. The English attacker gave a good account of himself in the opposition half as he averaged 3.09 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 33.3% of his attempts on target. McAtee was even accurate when distributing the ball from midfield after making 80% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via His current contract at the Etihad Stadium will run out in the summer of 2026. Thus, Tottenham could potentially land him on a cut-price deal this off-season. BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA – JUNE 28: James McAtee of U21 England reacts during the UEFA European Under-21 Championship 2025 Final match between England and Germany at National Football stadium on June 28, 2025 in Bratislava, Slovakia. (Photo by) Is McAtee A Good Option For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank? McAtee is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the vision to create a few meaningful openings for his teammates in the final third. He can shoot the ball with venom from long range and can chip in by scoring a few important goals for his team. The English sensation is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also operate as a box-to-box midfielder or as a right-sided wide player if told to do so by his manager. He has already got some experience in the Premier League and won't take much time to adjust to life at Tottenham. McAtee would undoubtedly enhance the quality of Spurs boss Thomas Frank's frontline in the long run. He has what it takes to fight for regular first-team football at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season. At 22, McAtee has the potential to be a future star in English football as long as he continues to improve with each year. Therefore, he would be an excellent option for the North London club to pursue in this summer transfer window.
