Brugnon and Cochet defeated Howard Kinsey and Vincent Richards in the final, 7–5, 4–6, 6–3, 6–2 to win the gentlemen's doubles tennis title at the 1926 Wimbledon Championship.[1][2]

The Duke of York, the future King George VI, remains the only member of the British royal family to ever compete at Wimbledon after competing in the men's doubles tournament. Partnering with his mentor and advisor Louis Greig, the pair were eliminated in the first round by former champions Herbert Roper Barrett and Arthur Gore.[3]
