Duchess Bags Murray Souvenir

LONDON — Every fan visiting Wimbledon hopes to be lucky enough to walk out of the All England Club with more than just a memory of watching a tennis hero -- and Britain's royal family is no different.

The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Charles's wife, opted to shun her usual place in the Centre Court's Royal Box on Thursday to watch Andy Murray play his second-round match on Court One alongside Wimbledon chairman Philip Brook.

When she stood up to give the British number one a standing ovation for his command performance against Robin Haase, little did she know that seconds later she would be the proud owner of a sweaty Murray wristband.
