Hugh Grant was the talk of the town on social media this Wednesday. The reason? An impromptu nap in the Royal Box at Wimbledon. Yes, the 64-year-old actor seemed to have fallen asleep while Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic took on Italian Flavio Cobolli. Sunglasses on, head down and tie askew with his wife Anna Elisabet Eberstein sitting next to him.

Wimbledon is an institution for Britons and tennis fans alike. A veritable crossroads between sport and a certain social milieu where a host of influential personalities flock. So, every year, the grandstands of London’s Grand Slam tournament are treated to a veritable parade of celebrities, particularly the royal box which, in addition to hosting the family of King Charles’s family, actors, singers and politicians are also among the guests. David Beckham, Cate Blanchett, Tom Holland and even Sienna Miller were all photographed on Wimbledon’s Center Court.
Queen Camilla also chatted with Djokovic before his match (which he won) against the world No. 22. Representing the Royal Family on the tenth day of competition last Wednesday, Queen Camilla was accompanied by Debbie Jevans, a former British tennis player, and therefore had no choice but, in addition to her royal duties, to follow the match attentively, as her daughter-in-law Kate Middleton who, for her part, is a true tennis enthusiast, often does. The proof: William has never managed to beat her in a match (according to the Daily Mail). In short, never doze off at Wimbledon, because you never know who could be taking your photo.
