Matthew McConaughey has been praised by Wimbledon fans for his sweet gesture to the Royal Family. 

At age 55, the American actor was among the celebrities present to witness Jannik Sinner defeat Carlos Alcaraz for the Wimbledon title from the exclusive royal box on Sunday.

And Matthew has now been praised as a ‘lovely southern gentleman’ after his touching tribute to the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Footage circulating on X captured Kate and William as they entered the box, where Matthew could be seen in the background. He was observed standing up for the royal couple as they proceeded to their seats, demonstrating a respectful gesture.

This gesture was well-received by Wimbledon fans, with one individual sharing the video and commenting, ‘Matthew McConaughey standing to applaud the Prince & Princess of Wales. What a lovely southern gentleman.’

The Etiquette School Of New York states that only British people are required to curtsy and bow to royalty, yet Americans are not required to do so.

For the outing Matthew swore a bright two-piece suit which he layered over a crisp white shirt and a green tie.

Camila looked elegant for the event as she wore a pair of white flared trousers which she paired with an elegant jacket. 

In keeping with her look, she slipped her two-piece over a white top and heels.

Last month Matthew and Emma Roberts ignored an A-list star seated between them at the Jacquemus fashion show.

During Paris Men’s Fashion Week on Sunday, they were deep in conversation while actress Gillian Anderson was sandwiched between them.

Matthew was spotted leaning over Gillian to talk to Emma, who made a shocked expression as they seemingly talked about something funny.

The encounter was seen in a TikTok clip posted by Jacquemus.

Meanwhile, Gillian had a stoic expression with a slight grin on her face as she sat awkwardly between them.

At one point, the Scream Queens star dramatically dropped her jaw in response to something Matthew told her.
