  1. George VI played doubles in 1922 (he was Prince Albert at the time). His team lost in the 1st round.

    Edward VIII was never officially crowned before he abdicated to marry Wallace Simpson.


  2. Two kings:Edward VIII and his brother George VI:"When in 1922 King George V, accompanied by Queen Mary, opened the Church Road ground, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor) and Prince Albert (later Duke of York and King George VI) were present. In 1926, on the occasion of The Jubilee Championships, the latter competed in the Gentlemen’s Doubles event in partnership with L. Greig (later Sir Louis Greig, Chairman of The All England Lawn Tennis Club), but they were well beaten in the first round by H.R. Barrett and A.W. Gore."
