Wimbledon 2018 - Royal Attendance

2018 is set to be an exciting year for Royal Watching at the Wimbledon! 

Wimbledon (AKA the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club) will be celebrating two important milestones this year: the club's 150th Anniversary & the Duke of Kent's 50th year as President.

Royal attendance is not usually announced in advance (except for those there in an official capacity). But look out for: 

President/Patron: Duke of Kent (President of Wimbledon), Duchess of Gloucester (Honorary President of LTA), & Duchess Kate (Patron of Wimbledon & LTA)

Other Royals: Camilla, Sussexs (hopefully), Wessexs, Yorks, Prince & Princess Micheal of Kent, etc. with a few Foreign Royals (varies each year)

Extended Family: Phillips/Tindalls?, The Kent & Gloucester's children, Middletons/Matthews, Camilla's sister, etc.

The Royals almost always sit in the Royal Box at Centre Court. The day's matches in the Centre Court usually begin at 1 PM.
