Tennis darling Bouchard said it would be “amazing” to meet the person she was named after – and her dream is set to come true.

The Canadian, who faces Petra Kvitova, is named after the princess, while her twin sister Beatrice is also named after a British royal, and her brother is called William.

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said: “Princess Eugenie has decided to attend Wimbledon today at the last minute. She is going to support her.”
