Peter is firstborn in the family and he is grandson of late Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh but don?t forget he is also firstborn son of Princess Anne
QuoteFormer press secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Dickie Arbiter, previously revealed to HELLO!: "It's up to Wimbledon. The Wimbledon organisation makes so many tickets available to Buckingham Palace, some of them are in the royal box, some of them are in prime seats within centre court and those are distributed on a ballot basis."
He added: "As far as filling up the royal box, well, it's really up to Wimbledon who they invite. They will be informed in advance if a royal wants to go or they'll send out an open invitation. Certainly, the Princess of Wales will go, she will go to the Ladies Final, she will go to the Men's Final on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
"She might well go on other days as well and her office will alert Wimbledon to the fact that she wants to go and when she will go, and Wimbledon will do the seating plan accordingly, leaving the sort of front row seats available. But Wimbledon likes to fill up the rest of the seats with celebrities and they don't have any difficulty doing that."

That part of the article copied by Sara (and thanks Sara) about the Royal Box at Wimbledon explains it perfectly. It also explains why Lady CC was in the Royal Box recently. It wasnt that she was invited by any member of the RF. She applied to the Wimbledon authorities for a seat there, just like any other celeb or wanna be celeb in London.
Here's some information about the history of Wimbledon's Royal Box.
https://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/about_wimbledon/royal_box.html
QuoteThe Royal Box has been used for the entertainment of friends and guests of Wimbledon since 1922. The Royal Box has 74 seats. They are dark green Lloyd Loom wicker chairs.
British and overseas Royal Families are invited as well as heads of government, people from the world of tennis, commercial partners, British armed forces, prominent media organisations, supporters of British tennis and other walks of life.
Invitations come from the Chairman of the All England Club, taking into account suggestions from members of The Championships? Organising Committee, The Lawn Tennis Association and other relevant sources.
Guests are invited to the Clubhouse for lunch, tea and drinks at the end of the day.
Protocol - dress is smart, suits/jacket and tie, etc. Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them.
Also the tradition of bowing or curtsying to members of the BRF or other royals ended in 2003. The only exception was for Queen Elizabeth II and I would presume that the protocol would now be if the monarch was in attendance.
Who is in the Royal Box at Wimbledon today? | House & Garden (https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/gallery/royal-box-at-wimbledon)
QuoteNot anymore. In 2003, Prince Edward, who's also president of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, asked the practice of bowing and curtseying to members of the royal family to stop ? the only exceptions will be for the Queen.

Gert?s Royals Twitter said
QuotePrince William & Princess Kate will attend the last day of Wimbledon on Sunday for Men's Single Finals and Women's Double Finals.
We should see a number of other royals & extended family join them.
Per Kensington Palace
QuoteOne notable absences from the Royal Box at Wimbledon this year, The Middleton Family.
They have been invited by the Chairman every year since 2012 to attend at least one day in the tournament in the Royal Box.
Usually Carole & Mike would be invited one day and then Pippa & James on another day, with a possible 2nd appearance is they attended with Princess Kate.
Per Wimbledon chairman makes decisions to invite for royalty in the royal box only if not royalty in the box move different seat rows not far from royal box

Princess of Wales Attends Wimbledon Ladies' Singles Final ?? - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGPozZ2i5ks)
QuoteThe prestigious Wimbledon tennis tournament reaches its climax as the #Princess of Wales attends the Ladies' Singles Final today.
The Royal presence adds a touch of regal splendour to this grand slam event, as Ons Jabeur takes on Mark?ta Vondrou?ov?.
It?s well known that Anne is not a fan of tennis just like her mother and father. We all have our favourites. For Anne it was anything to do with horses as it was with the late Queen. However she does like rugby and the late Queen and Duke were quite fond of watching cricket and discussing the results apparently. It?s not compulsory to thoroughly enjoy one sport over another just because you?re royal.
^^^I so agree
@Curryong that people have their favorite sports and viewing shouldn't be compulsory because you are a member of a royal family.
^
That made me chuckle, as those that know me well, my views on a tiny ball being beaten to death by anyone will get me kicked out of any stadium quickly....why im heaven's name are companies paying zillions of dollars to anyone to hit a ball........a ball of all things. Our society is warped big time, teachers, firemen, police, Ems, hospital workers who save lives are all highly underpaid and here the world makes heroes out of some people who are not worth it while paying them millions of dollars.......sports, so not my cup of tea...give me a good history book any day of the week.
The Princess of Wales, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, have arrived at Wimbeldon for the men?s final this afternoon.

Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic at the final.
He beat my fav Daniil Medvedev in SF too, so admittedly the 20 year old kid is a big star. And to me the new Spanish replacement for Nadal.

That was a bot of a shock, but really Djokovic and his generation have had it all their own way for a very long while. It?s about time that the new and upcoming generation made their mark in Grand Slams. It would have been sad and a bit odd if they didn?t. In both the women?s and men?s finals Wimbledon showed the way this year.
A tweet from the Spanish monarchy:
"El Rey felicita, junto a los Principes de Gales y los Principes George y Charlotte, a Carlos Alcaraz tras su primera victoria en la final individual masculina de Wimbledon." -
"The King congratulates, together with the Prince & Princess of Wales and Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Carlos Alcaraz after his first victory in the men's singles final at Wimbledon."

Alcaraz urges Spain's King Felipe to support him more often after Wimbledon glory - CNA (https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sport/alcaraz-urges-spains-king-felipe-support-him-more-often-after-wimbledon-glory-3632921)
QuoteLONDON: Carlos Alcaraz told Spain's King Felipe VI to come to more of his matches after the monarch watched his compatriot end Novak Djokovic's reign as Wimbledon champion in an epic final on Sunday (Jul 16).
Alcaraz defeated seven-time champion Djokovic 1-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 to claim his first Wimbledon title and second at the majors.
The 20-year-old Spaniard's tireless display wore down Djokovic over four hours and 42 minutes, with the champion admitting he took inspiration from the presence of the King in the royal box.
"It's special to play in front of royalty. King Felipe, I am really proud that you are here supporting me," Alcaraz said during his post-match interview on Centre Court.
"When I played in front of you twice, twice I won, I hope you are coming more! It is really special and I have to thank you for coming and supporting."
As well as the King's support, Alcaraz, who won the US Open last year, enjoyed huge backing from the majority of the Centre Court crowd, who roared him to victory in the final set.
Here's a sweet photo of King Felipe speaking with Charlotte and Catherine today.

QuoteHe might just have written his name in the history books of the most famous tennis championship in the world but Carlos Alcaraz appeared overcome as royalty queued up to meet him and celebrate his success.
As he made his way into the Player?s Lounge at Wimbledon, the King of Spain sprung forward to offer a congratulatory hug.
King Felipe couldn?t stop smiling as he chatted with Spain?s latest sporting star.
He then introduced Carlos Alcaraz to Princess Charlotte and Prince George who were standing by to meet the new champion.
Wimbledon is one of the last big events that would see a large gathering of royals before most of the royal houses take a summer break.

So a grown man took a temper tantrum all because he lost a game...sure shows the type of man he is...so what else is new?

He?s frustrated. And about a game! Everybody loses sometimes. That?s life, especially as sports people get older. Years ago didn?t John McEnroe throw his racket around in the same way? And swore at the linesmen to boot.
To me that is still no excuse for bad behavior regardless of who you are. He is a professional tennis, knows the ins and outs of game, he acted like a spoiled brat not getting his own way.
