The Princess of Wales urged Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur to 'come back and win' after her shock defeat to Markéta Vondroušová in the ladies' singles final.
Kate consoled the Tunisian world number six, 28, who was widely expected to defeat her unseeded opponent.
Czech's Vondroušová won a 6-4 6-4 victory despite the Centre Court crowd roundly backing Jabeur, who was also runner-up at last year's Wimbledon. The Princess of Wales is reported to have told Jabeur as she fought back tears to "come back and win a Grand Slam, win a Wimbledon".Belarusian tennis player Victoria Azarenka glares as she’s booed off Wimbledon court - before blasting 'drunk' fansKate smiled as she watched the pulsating final alongside Wimbledon legend Billie Jean King.
Last week Kate reminisced about her experience queueing as a child to watch matches at the world-famous tennis tournament. She told members of the British Army, London Ambulance Service, London Fire Brigade and Metropolitan Police present at the event: “I loved it when I was younger. It was part of coming to see Wimbledon and the anticipation.”
