Lewis Hamilton was banned from the Royal Box at the Wimbledon final after he turned up not wearing a shirt and tie while Pippa Middleton and her mother Carole Middleton were relegated to standard seats when they arrived too late.
There are 74 seats situated in a prime location on Centre Court that is reserved for the royal family and special guests.
The Formula One champion was said to have arrived late at the All England Club and without having dressed appropriately, despite the strict dress code.
The racing driver, 38, made the fashion faux pas back in 2015 when he was shown the red flag at the men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
“Lewis turned up an hour late and wasn’t wearing a tie,” a source said at the time. “He was told he would need to put one on to enter the box but he threw a bit of hissy fit, which lasted a couple of minutes, and then left.

However, things didn’t exactly go to plan for the royal’s younger sister Pippa, 39, and their mother Carole, 68.
The mother and daughter duo often get VIP seats in the Royal Box or the players’ box at Wimbledon.
Back in 2017, Carole and Pippa had to take standard seats after the pair were shunned from the Royal Box when they arrived too late for Andy Murray’s match against Benoit Paire.
Kate’s younger sister and mother were pictured sitting separately, just outside of the players’ box, which is usually reserved for athletes and their families, and VIP guests.
