Ellie Goulding was among the famous faces in Wimbledon’s Royal Box on Thursday as day four of the Championships drew another star-studded crowd to Centre Court. The singer, 39, attended with her partner, Beau Minniear, just months after the couple welcomed their daughter in March.
Musical and Sporting Stars in the Royal Box
They were joined by fellow musicians including Keane frontman Tom Chaplin and his partner, Nat Dive, as well as Sir Cliff Richard, a regular fixture at SW19.

Day 4 Matches and Other Highlights
Among Thursday's headline matches at the championships, defending champion Iga Świątek took on 2021 runner-up Karolína Plíšková, before former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini faced French rising star Arthur Fils.
Elsewhere, The Princess of Wales delighted Wimbledon fans as she joined the famous queue. The Royal posed for selfies, chatting to spectators and even helped staff sell tickets ahead of another packed day of action at The Championships in SW19. Kate, who looked elegant in a tailored blue suit, was all smiles as she met tennis fans who had camped overnight for a chance to secure seats on the famous grass courts.
The princess, patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, also spent time with stewards who welcome thousands of spectators through the gates each year. Kate told two tennis fans to “have a great time” as she handed them a ticket on Thursday morning. In the queue, she could be seen smiling and laughing as she greeted visitors and took pictures with them.
After lending a hand in the ticket office, Kate watched a match on an outside court - Court 18 - alongside former British No.1 Tim Henman and AELTC chair Deborah Jevans.
