Former England football captain Sir David Beckham, former Great British Bake Off judge Dame Mary Berry, and ex-Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly were among the celebrities attending the first day of the 2026 Wimbledon Championships at the All England Club.
Celebrity Sightings on Day One
Daly, 57, attended the tennis tournament just months after her split from TV and radio presenter Vernon Kay. She wore a white outfit and was accompanied by her friend Gayle Lawton, who also dressed in white. Dame Mary, 91, opted for a light pink dress and white necklace. Other notable attendees included actor Sir Mark Rylance, who chatted with Dame Mary while wearing a grey suit and light hat, and weather presenter Carol Kirkwood, who wore a white dress. Sir Cliff Richard, 84, was also present, sporting a black suit with silver trousers and dark sunglasses, alongside Pointless presenter Alexander Armstrong, who wore a blue suit, white shirt, and pink tie.
Beckham in the Royal Box Amid Family Feud
Sir David Beckham, 51, watched from the royal box, having recently been spotted attending England matches at the World Cup held in the US, Canada, and Mexico. He wore a grey suit, white shirt, and gold tie. His appearance comes amid a public feud between him and his wife Lady Victoria Beckham, and their son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham. Brooklyn posted an explosive multi-page statement accusing his parents of “trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.” He also alleged that his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, had been “disrespected” by his family, that his parents controlled press narratives, and that they prioritized “Brand Beckham.” In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Lady Beckham addressed the feud for the first time, stating she and Sir David “love our children so much” and have “always tried to be the best parents.” Nicola Peltz Beckham, an amateur photographer, recently referenced the feud in a World Cup-themed advert for US food delivery firm DoorDash.
Monday's Matches
Monday's matches at the championship featured the UK's Cameron Norrie taking on Michael Zheng of the US, and Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia playing the UK's Harriet Dart.
