Members of England’s Euro 2022 winning soccer team Leah Williamson, Beth Mead and Jill Scott, stand in the Royal Box after being introduced on Centre Court.WIMBLEDON, England—With the Women’s World Cup just a few days away, some of the injured players on England’s national soccer team were treated like royalty at Wimbledon on Saturday.
All three won the Women’s European Championship last year but will miss this year’s World Cup tournament in Australia and New Zealand because of injuries. Plenty of tennis greats were among the guests Saturday, including Billie Jean King, Rosie Casals, Stefan Edberg and Sue Barker. But athletes and former greats from other sports were there as well, like gymnasts, field hockey players and rugby players.
The Royal Box is not just for royalty, but Kate, the Princess of Wales, did make her first appearance at this year’s tournament on Tuesday. She sat next to Roger Federer on a day the now-retired eight-time Wimbledon champion was feted on Centre Court.
