 Ever wonder what celebs talk about when the sit near each other at public events? Us too! So leave it to Pippa Middleton and "Downton Abbey" star Michelle Dockery to put those gears in motion.

The British ladies were seated near each at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships on Thursday and they seemed to be getting along swimmingly

Middleton, 30, the younger sister of Kate Middleton -- now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge -- and her bearded brother James sat in the Royal Box at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as they took in the fourth day of the tennis matches.

In front of them were Dockery, 32, who plays Lady Mary Crawley in the wildly popular iTV series that airs on PBS in the States, and her boyfriend John Dineen.

The quartet chatted it up just before the match between Spain's Rafael Nadal and Czech Republic's Lukas Rosol and were photographed laughing together a few times.

Oh, to be a seat filler! We have no idea what they were talking about, but we imagine it being totally posh and poised.

Dockery has a bit of history with the Middletons, who previously had visited the set of Julian Fellowes' lavish period drama.

"Pippa Middleton and James Middleton, Kate's sister and brother, came to visit the set a few years ago," Dockery told Vanity Fair in February.

"I think during [season] two . . . it was a long time ago. They are friends of Alastair Bruce who is our historical adviser and the royal correspondent [for Sky News], so he's had a lot of involvement with the royal family," she explained. "That's why they came. And it was shortly after the [royal] wedding. It was amazing talking to them. And I hear that Will and Kate are fans, too, which is great."

Royals watching fictional aristocracy? We are beyond amused!

Gerard Butler 'had no idea Bradley Cooper Wimbledon selfie went viral' Published Monday, Jul 8 2013, 11:17pm EDT | By Daniel Sperling and Kate Goodacre (DIGITAL SPY)

Gerard Butler has expressed surprise that a photograph of himself and Bradley Cooper posing for a self-portrait at the Wimbledon men's singles final has gone viral.

The two actors were in the crowd for Andy Murray's first Wimbledon victory on Sunday, where Cooper was seen taking a 'selfie' of the pair on his smartphone. The image was shared repeatedly on Twitter in the aftermath of the game.

When asked if he knew that the photograph had gone viral, Butler told Digital Spy and other journalists at the Novak Djokovic Foundation gala dinner: "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't go on the internet, so I don't know what [a 'selfie'] is."

The 300 star also joked about the duo's matching suits, saying: "Bradley and I are friends. [The matching outfits] was coincidence. It was a little embarrassing. We didn't mention it at the time.

"We gave each other a hug, then looked down and went, 'Oh, s**t'."

Thor star Tom Hiddleston takes a mystery woman to dinner with Wimbledon champ Andy Murray ... after cosying up to rumoured new love at historic final By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Tom Hiddleston has been a busy man – almost as busy as the player he was watching at Wimbledon on Sunday, Andy Murray.

The 32-year-old British actor was on Centre Court to see Murray win the men’s singles at SW19, in the company of his new rumoured girlfriend Jane Arthy.

Then the following evening he was seen at smart London restaurant Nobu – but with a different, mystery woman.

Hiddleston was seen holding hands with Arthy at the tennis, and the pair clearly enjoyed their day watching Murray land the men’s singles crown.

Rumours started that Tom is dating Jane, a record executive, after Elle UK editor-in-chief Lorraine Candy tweeted about the pair.

‘I sat next to actor Tom Hiddleston and his girlfriend Jane #wimbledonfinal. He’s a very funny man,’ she wrote.
