Matthew McConaughey is praised for standing up and applauding Princess at Wimbledon
In footage shared on X of Kate and William's arrival into the box Matthew was seen standing up for the royals as they made their way to their seats, in a sign of respect.
The American actor, 55, was among the celebrities who watched on as Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz to the Wimbledon title in the star-studded royal box on Sunday.
Matthew's gesture went down well with Wimbledon fans, with one sharing the clip and writing: 'Matthew McConaughey standing to applaud the Prince & Princess of Wales. What a lovely southern gentleman.'
The Etiquette School Of New York states that only British people are required to curtsy and bow to royalty, yet Americans are not required to do so.
Responding to the message, a host of other fans praised his respect, writing: 'McConaughey surely respects everyone he encounters.'
'Real class... Beautiful family and prayers for princess Kate to stay healthy after all she's been through. She's so beautiful.'
'Don't forget perfectly dress for the occasion... He's a gentleman... Matthew was raised right.
Always something I have always admired.'

Nicolas Jackson: Manchester United monitoring Chelsea forward
Manchester United are monitoring the situation of Nicolas Jackson as the forward weighs up his future after Chelsea's summer spending spree, which included the acquisition of strikers Liam Delap and João Pedro. Pedro scored three times for Chelsea having joined up with them during their victorious Club World Cup triumph after his £60million move from Brighton & Hove Albion while Delap, who joined from Ipswich Town last month for £30million, scored in the group stage win over Espérance de Tunis. Jackson failed to score in the tournament in the United States and the 24-year-old Senegalese was banned for two matches for a studs-up challenge on Flamengo defender Lucas Ayrton. Chelsea are not actively looking to sell Jackson, who cost them £32million two years ago when they bought him from Villarreal, but there is a feeling that they could end up cashing in on the player if they receive a decent offer for him, and United are among a number of interested clubs. AC Milan and Aston Villa are also monitoring events. Chelsea also spent an initial fee of £48.5million on Jamie Gittens, the winger from Borussia Dortmund, a fortnight ago. United want to bolster their attack after they scored only 44 Premier League goals last season, their worst total for a single league campaign since 1973-74 (38 goals) — when they were relegated. Jackson celebrates Chelsea's Club World Cup success, a competition in which he made one start, scored no goals and was sent off four minutes into another substitute appearance GETTY IMAGES After their signing of attacker Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £62.5million last month, United are in talks with Brentford over a deal for forward Bryan Mbeumo, who is valued at a similar price by the London club. United have so far failed to get rid of wantaway players like Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia and Alejandro Garnacho, but they are still set to make up to about £18million from sell-on clauses in the contracts of Anthony Elanga, Maxi Oyedele and Álvaro Carreras, the latter of who joined Real Madrid in a £37million deal from Benfica on Tuesday.

I know the real Helena and the truth about her being a ‘good time girl' – Love Island have set her up to look bad
SHE has been cruelly trolled for letting Harry Cooksley walk all over her in the Love Island villa, for 'being open' and even for laughing too much. The reaction has left those close to Helena Ford shocked and saddened, and determined to clear her name. 5 5 5 One person who thinks Helena has been unfairly treated is her close friend and long time hairdresser, who says: 'She's had a rough time in there - the way that people are portraying her on social media, it's just so unfair.' Natalie Clayton, who owns NCWeave in Merseyside, has been doing Helena's hair for the last four years and did it just before she entered the villa. She has explained why people might think Helena is a 'good time girl', after Harry branded her that. She told us: 'I think she knows what Harry is like, and she's never been in a relationship before, and that's what people are forgetting, because she's just, she's just having fun. 'She doesn't take life too seriously. She is one for just having fun and living her best life.' The 29-year-old has been open about the fact she's never had a relationship before and Natalie thinks she's just embracing it all - rather than being bogged down in the details of relationships. 'Because of her job and her lifestyle, I don't think she's just ever thought about settling down yet,' Natalie told us. 'She loves travelling, she loves going out with her friends. So I think she's just never met that right person where she's wanted to settle down with them.' On Love Island Helena has mostly been coupled up with Harry but has gained the reputation of someone who is very flirty with the opposite sex. Bella Rose Hair & Beauty owner Natalie believes that Helena, who travels three hours just to get her extensions there, has been edited to look a certain way. She said: 'I think maybe the clips that have been heard have made it worse because I do think that Shakira has been worse with her than Helena has with Shakira and I don't understand why people can't see that coming across. 'At the end of the day they've just got a similar type and they've both gone for the same person and then she's been portrayed like she keeps going for her men. 'But you can see Helena was shocked at that because she's not even realised and just been like we've got the same type and she was joking about it. 'And then I think Shakira, from what's been heard, she's been talking about Helena a hell of a lot more.' Natalie said her reaction to laugh at so many things is because she isn't a fan of confrontation. 'She just likes to keep herself to herself in her own little bubble and she just wants to be friends with everyone and get on with everyone,' she told us. 'I know people are saying she said this and that, but you can see by the things that she's done, she just doesn't take life seriously.' And Natalie thinks she has what it takes to win the show, telling us: 'I would absolutely love her to win the show because it has been great TV. 'Whether people have liked her or not liked her, I think if she hadn't been in there it could have been very boring!'

Tottenham and Nottingham Forest locked in Morgan Gibbs-White standoff as dispute over £60m release clause explained
TOTTENHAM and Nottingham Forest are engaged in a battle of brinkmanship over Morgan Gibbs-White. Forest issued legal complaints to Spurs and Gibbs-White's representatives after the North Londoners thought they had triggered a £60million release clause to buy the England man. 4 The Tricky Trees are arguing they did not give permission to approach their talisman. While they all cite breach of confidentiality of the release clause, given they did not tell Tottenham of its existence. They are yet to take their formal complaint to the Premier League, who would be obliged to investigate any objection they receive. The fact that Gibbs-White is still a Forest player raises the question as to whether all the conditions of the release clause have been met. Some release clauses are not as simple as paying a specific figure. For example, they can also have conditions involving the payment plan or stipulations involving who the buying club is. Theoretically, if Spurs have not met those conditions but suddenly now do, it would add further weight to Forest 's breach of confidentiality argument, which could explain why the move is currently in limbo. Having already sold key winger Anthony Elanga to Newcastle for £55m, Forest are not under financial pressure to sell and would prefer to keep Gibbs-White. They have been attempting to extend his contract for the last year, but it is understood that MGW and his representatives have thus far not been interested in entering negotiations. Gibbs-White, 25, trained today as normal during Forest's pre-season. What's next in Gibbs-White to Tottenham saga? | Transfers Exposed The belief is that he is still likely to become a Spurs player this summer, but it is a matter of who blinks first between Forest and Tottenham. 4 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW 4
