The glamorous world of Wimbledon recently saw a twist as Meghan Markle reportedly reached out to the US Open, aiming to secure a patron role akin to that of her sister-in-law, Princess Catherine.
The allure of rubbing shoulders with the elite at the prestigious event seemed to have sparked jealousy in Meghan, who yearned for a similar spotlight.
Wimbledon's men's singles finals witnessed a star-studded affair, with notable personalities like Jonathan Bailey, Lewis Capaldi, and Daniel Craig gracing the event.
Among the A-list attendees were Andrew Garfield, Ariana Grande, and Hugh Jackman, creating a buzz that excluded sports icons like Billie Jean King and the King of Spain.
Ariana Grande, capturing the essence of the event, shared a video featuring Princess Catherine on Instagram, showcasing the royal's presence at the iconic tennis tournament.
The crowd's cheers reverberated as Princess Catherine elegantly presented the trophies, solidifying her status as a symbol of Wimbledon's grandeur alongside traditions like strawberries and cream.
Meghan's attempt to secure a patron role at the US Open was met with rejection, as the organization clarified their lack of such positions two years prior.
This move followed Meghan's previous controversial interaction with the US Open staff, where she sought a sponsorship role while expecting a tip in return, highlighting a peculiar irony in her approach.
During her brief stint as a royal, Meghan's actions mirrored a desire for the title without the accompanying responsibilities, reminiscent of the Princess of Wales.
Her reluctance to adhere to protocols or engage in royal duties showcased a lack of discipline and motivation, drawing comparisons to her aspirations versus her actual efforts.
Notably, the young royals, including George and Charlotte, mingled with celebrities and other royals at Wimbledon, adding to the event's allure.
Despite Meghan's attempts to draw attention through Archie and Lily's Independence Day Hotel merchandise photos, the focus remained on the star-studded Wimbledon crowd, reminiscent of an Oscars-like gathering.
The Wimbledon men's singles final witnessed a Hollywood takeover, with Brad Pitt casually snacking alongside director Guy Ritchie and Daniel Craig sharing a rare public appearance with his wife Rachel Weiss in the royal box.
The event exuded glamour, with Sir Cliff Richard's presence overshadowed by new faces like the Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz's thrilling victory over Novak Djokovic.
Amidst the tennis fervor, renowned personalities from various industries flocked to Centre Court, epitomizing the event's cross-section appeal.
Hugh Jackman, a close friend of the seven-time Wimbledon champion, added to the star power, emphasizing the event's allure beyond the sporting realm.
Princess Catherine's evident joy as the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club symbolized a culmination of seven years of dedication to the prestigious event.
