Royal approval as Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla pockets Andy Murray sweatband

London: Some devour strawberries and cream, others splash out on a Pimm`s or an official towel, but Prince Charles` wife Camilla went home from Wimbledon on Thursday with an Andy Murray sweatband.

British star Murray was celebrating his 6-1, 6-1, 6-4 second round win over Dutchman Robin Haase when he threw his sodden wristband into the VIP area on Court One where it was caught by All England Club chairman Phillip Brook.

The official then handed it as a gift to the Duchess of Cornwall who was sitting next to him.

"I heard that she was coming today. I saw her briefly after the match," said former Wimbledon champion Murray.

"But the wristband actually hit the chairman of Wimbledon. He was there with her.

"Normally you see who catches it. Then the Duchess opened up her bag and my wristband was in there, so he obviously had given it to her."
