Amidst Prince William's visit to Cornwall, Kate Middleton and her family mourn the loss of a cherished family friend, as reported by Mirror.
The Middletons, particularly Carole and Michael, shared a deep bond with Mr. Tony Henman, father of former British tennis star Tim Henman, who passed away at the age of 84.
Mr. Henman and his wife Jane graced the wedding of Prince William and Kate at Westminster Abbey in 2011, underscoring their close relationship. The two families frequented Wimbledon together over the years, fostering a warm friendship.
During Kate's Wimbledon visits, she often enjoyed the company of Tim Henman, a four-time semi-finalist at the prestigious tournament. The Middleton family, including Kate and her sister Pippa, are avid tennis enthusiasts and regular attendees at SW19.
Kate once shared an amusing yet cringe-worthy anecdote during a 2017 BBC documentary, recounting her father Michael's embarrassing mix-up with Tim Henman. She recalled how her father mistakenly greeted Henman as Pete Sampras, leaving her feeling mortified.
The sorrowful news coincides with Prince William's excursion to Fistral Beach, following his estranged brother Prince Harry's recent appearance at St. Paul's Cathedral for the Invictus Games.
