Matthew McConaughey has been praised by Wimbledon fans for his sweet gesture to the Royal Family.
The American actor, 55, was among the celebrities who watched on as Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz to the Wimbledon title in the star-studded 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.
In footage shared on X of Kate and William’s arrival into the box, Matthew could be seen in the background. Matthew was then seen standing up for the royals as they made their way to their seats, in a sign of respect.
The gesture went down well with Wimbledon fans, with one sharing the clip and writing: ‘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.
