Wimbledon Royal Box Wrap: Kate, William, Beckham, McIlroy, Stan Smith

Wimbledon’s Royal Box saw Queen Camilla attend Centre Court on July 8, watching the women’s singles quarterfinal between Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk and Italy’s Jasmine Paolini. Kostyuk advanced in straight sets, winning 6-3, 6-2. The article also focused on the presence of Gus Wenner, identified as a U.S. investor and son of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, seated a row behind the Queen. It described Wenner as not wearing the required jacket-and-tie protocol that Wimbledon has decreed since long ago, noting the club’s insistence on dress rules near the monarchs. The piece says Wenner has dated American actress Elle Fanning for the past two years. It further claims that directors do not permit attire like his in proximity to royal guests, while tying the episode to the broader tennis and spectator backdrop at Wimbledon.
