Elle Fanning, Bear Grylls and Jason Isaacs headlined the celebrity contingent in the Royal Box during the quarter-finals of the 2026 Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday. The US actress, who earned an Oscar nomination for last year's Sentimental Value, attended with her music executive husband Gus Wenner at Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

The stars watched Marta Kostyuk take on Jasmine Paolini, followed by British wildcard sensation Arthur Fery's eagerly anticipated match against Italy's Flavio Cobolli.
Heat Precautions at Wimbledon
Wimbledon organisers urged guests to stay hydrated and keep safe under the sun as the day was expected to be the hottest of the championships so far. Guests fanned themselves and watched matches under parasols due to a lack of shade in the stands. All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton assured that Wimbledon was prepared for the temperature spike, with measures in place to protect guests, staff and players. She told reporters: "We've had a bit of practise, particularly last year, but over the week before the championships (as well), and we've got our usual measures in place. There's the heat rule present for the players, although I think, looking at the temperatures, we don't anticipate getting close to that over these next few days."
Wimbledon's heat rule allows for a 10-minute break during a match when the wet bulb globe temperature reaches 30.1C or higher.
