The Middleton Family’s Love for Wimbledon
Listen up, everyone. The Middleton family is absolutely nuts about Wimbledon. Every single year, they make it a point to be there, taking their seats at some of the most high-profile matches. Now, here's the deal: etiquette says that Kate Middleton’s parents, Carole Middleton and Michael Middleton, along with her siblings, Pippa Middleton and James Middleton, should have access to the royal box when they're watching the matches. It's like their VIP pass to the coolest spot in the tennis world.
This royal box, folks, is no ordinary section. It's reserved for the crème de la crème—royalty, top athletes, and celebrities. You know, the kind of people who make headlines just by showing up. Think Anna Wintour from Vogue, David Beckham, and Kim Sears, Andy Murray’s wife. The Middletons, as relatives of the future King and Queen of England, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are usually right up there in the VIP area. But last week, something interesting happened.

Why Were Carole and Pippa Sitting Outside?
Here's the scoop: Even though Carole and Pippa have been in the royal box before, last week, they were seen outside of it, sitting with the regular folks in the stands. People were buzzing, wondering why they weren't in their usual spot. Well, according to Hello! magazine, the reason is pretty straightforward—they were late to the match. That's right, folks. The stewards at the royal box are super strict about timing, and if you're late, you're out of luck (unless, of course, you're the Queen).
Now, you might think this would be a bummer, but Carole and Pippa didn’t seem to mind one bit. They were caught on camera clapping and laughing together, clearly enjoying the match just as much as everyone else. It's like they were saying, "Hey, no big deal. We’re still having a great time!"
What About Kate and William?
Interestingly, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who have been to Wimbledon several times this year, didn’t seem to face the same issue. Whether that's because they're just better at being on time or because they're considered more important VIPs is anyone's guess. But hey, let's not speculate too much, right?
Other Royal Box Mishaps
Carole and Pippa aren’t the only ones who’ve had trouble with the royal box rules. Back in 2015, F1 champion Lewis Hamilton got turned away from the box during the men's final. Why? Because he was wearing a flowery shirt instead of a suit and jacket. His spokesperson chalked it up to an “unfortunate misunderstanding regarding the dress code at Wimbledon.” So, it seems like the royal box has a reputation for being pretty picky about its rules.
