What is the royal box at Wimbledon?
The royal box has the best seats at Wimbledon and is reserved for members of the royal family and invited guests of the All England Club.
It's always full of famous faces from the world of showbiz and high society.
Perched above Centre Court, the royal box is reserved for use by the Royal Family and other distinguished guests who want to watch the tennis during the Wimbledon Championships.
Each day there is space for 74 guests to take their place on the dark green Lloyd Loom wicker chairs.
Anybody who is invited to watch the tennis from the royal box must stick to a strict dress code that includes a demure dress for ladies and a jacket, tie and proper shoes for men.
How can you get a ticket to sit in the royal box at Wimbledon?
There are no tickets on sale for the Royal Box and guests have to be invited by the All England Club.
Each year, there is an open invitation to all of the Royal Family as well as high ranking members of the government, armed forces and the church – including the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Also encouraged to attend are ambassadors, diplomats and members of foreign royal families and senior figures from the media world.
It is believed that the All England Club and the Lawn Tennis Association take suggestions on who would be suitable to ask to attend.

How can you get tickets for the tournament?
The ballot for tickets for Wimbledon 2019 has now closed.
But even if you've missed out, that doesn't mean that you can't take part in the action.
Wimbledon remains one of the only major sporting events in the UK that still sells tickets on the day of play.
All you have to do is get down to the All England Club and, in true British style, get in the queue.
A limited number of tickets are available daily for Centre Court, No.1 Court and No.2 Court - except for the last four days on Centre Court, when all are sold in advance.
Each day there are also several thousand ground passes available.
These allow the user unlimited access to the outside courts and cost just £25 throughout the opening week of the tournament.
