LONDON - Almost a century has passed since Prince Albert – later crowned King George VI – turned up in his pristine white trousers and collared shirt to compete in the men’s doubles at Wimbledon.
At the age of five, Prince William’s son George is a long way off from joining the Next-Gen pack — a term used for the best 21-and-under competitors on the men’s tour — but he has been lucky enough to have a knockabout with arguably the greatest player to have ever swung a tennis racket. “He’s a cute boy. I love to see that they’re into tennis or into sports. His mum has always enjoyed her tennis,” he added of the Duchess of Cambridge who attended Wimbledon this week.
Federer, who is chasing a 21st major title and ninth at the grasscourt major, is not the only competitor at Wimbledon with royal friends.
