The Princess of Wales paid tribute to Sir Andy Murray, saying he should be "so very proud" after he missed out on a final chance at Wimbledon.
In a personally-signed message on social media, the princess wrote: "An incredible #Wimbledon career comes to an end. You should be so very proud @andy_murray. On behalf of all of us, thank you! C."
Sir Andy was due to play mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu but the former US Open champion pulled out of the clash, citing stiffness in her right wrist.
