Catherine, the Princess of Wales, along with her daughter, Princess Charlotte, met Emma Raducanu before the men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. Raducanu was later spotted in attendance watching the final.

Catherine revealed in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Since then, she has rarely made any public appearances. She was greeted with a standing ovation on Centre Court.

Catherine and Charlotte met several British tennis players including Emma Raducanu, Lucy Shuker, Lily Miyazaki, Sonay Kartal & Flora Johnson ahead of the men’s singles final.

The 2024 Wimbledon Championships final was a rematch of the final last year. Alcaraz and Djokovic met in front of the Centre Court crowd in 2023 as well and it was the Spaniard who came out on top. The result was the same this year also as Alcaraz won his second consecutive Wimbledon title.

Raducanu was also in attendance at the final with several other global celebrities. Her Wimbledon campaign reached its conclusion at the hands of New Zealand-born Lulu Sun.

The Brit was in inspired form as she sailed past her first three opponents in straight sets. The 21-year-old even defeated ninth-seed Maria Sakkari. However, Sun got the better of Raducanu in three sets in the fourth round.

The former US Open champion was also scheduled to take part in the mixed doubles event with Andy Murray. But, she had to withdraw from the event citing a stiff wrist.

Among the former players, former World No. 1 Australian player Lleyton Hewitt, eight-time Grand Slam champion Andre Agassi, and 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert were in attendance on Centre Court.

Several Hollywood superstars also made their way to the All England Club including Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Cruise, Emma D'Arcy, and Julia Roberts.

The Royal Box on Centre Court during the final also included royalty with Catherine, Princess of Wales, along with her daughter Princess Charlotte. London mayor, Sadiq Khan, was also present.

The women's singles final on Saturday, July 13, also attracted star power. 'Challengers' star Zendaya was at the game along with fellow actor Kate Beckinsale, and director Sam Mendes. Further, Hugh Jackman was also there with director Ian Rickson.

Among the former tennis pros, Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova, and Maria Sharapova were there to witness Barbora Krejcikova defeat Jasmine Paolini to win her maiden Wimbledon title.
