Through her social networks, Kate Middleton sent a message to tennis player Andy Murray, whose career at Wimbledon came to an end.
In the midst of her cancer treatment, Kate Middleton “broke into” Wimbledon to send a message to tennis player Andy Murray, who ended his career at that tournament, because he is in the final stage of his career on the courts. . However, the “appearance” of the Princess of Wales was virtual, since she took to her social networks to show her support for the 37-year-old British tennis player.
The Princess of Wales, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy after receiving a cancer diagnosis, shared an exceptional message to the tennis legend on the Prince and Princess of Wales' Instagram account this Saturday, July 6, to demonstrate her admiration and respect for the athlete's career.
“An incredible career at Wimbledon comes to an end. You should be very proud, Andy Murray. “On behalf of all of us, thank you!” wrote Kate, whose most recent public appearance was during the Trooping the Color military parade last June. The message, which appeared in the Instagram Stories section, was signed with a "C" for Catherine, as highlighted by People.
Last Friday, July 5, tennis player Andy Murray, 37, played one of his last matches at the Wimbledon tournament, after which he was moved almost to tears when they paid him a well-deserved tribute.
"It's hard because I would love to continue playing but I can't," he said about the bittersweet goodbye to the sport. "Physically, it's too difficult now. All the injuries have piled up and, like I said, they haven't been insignificant."
Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, and Andy Murray have been friends for several years. In 2023, the tennis player silently greeted Kate, who was in the stands, after the match against Ryan Peniston. Murray pointed out her and Roger Federer in the crowd during her on-court commentary.
Three years earlier, during the pandemic, Kate and Andy teamed up for a surprise video call to young tennis players at Bond Primary School in south London.
On that call, Murray told the students why he pursued a career in tennis. "It was one of the few things he was good at. He did it because he enjoyed it, because it had fun," he assured them as motivation to continue with the sport.
Kate Middleton has attended Wimbledon every year since she married Prince William in 2011, People recalls, except in 2013, when she missed the matches, when she was pregnant with Prince George and due to her doctor's recommendations. .
That year, Andy Murray became the first Briton to win Wimbledon in almost 80 years, finally claiming back-to-back Grand Slam titles. In the current edition, the organizers of the tennis tournament hope that the Princess of Wales will be able to attend, at least, the final to present the trophy to the winner. The last game will take place on Sunday, July 14.
