As much as we love watching the world’s greatest tennis players going head to head on the grass at the All England Club there’s no denying that spectating the spectators is half the fun of the Wimbledon Championships (June 28-July 11).

From royals to Hollywood A-listers, celebrities can always be counted on to smash it on Centre Court (in the stands, that is), serving ace outfits and lots of Wimbledon whites.

Duchess of Cambridge

Duchess of Sussex
