Andy Murray has labelled tennis star Liam Broady a ‘spanner’ during the pair’s latest social media spat.

The duo are no strangers to an online disagreement, with Murray and Broady having locked horns online several times before

Their latest exchange focused on a post sent by Broady about a child playing on their tablet during a flight.

Broady said on X: “There’s a kid on this flight with an iPad, watching a tv show in the top left corner of the screen with subtitles on.

“All whilst playing a video game on the full screen. Is this me getting old thinking that’s unhealthy for their brain?”

Murray, sensing an opportunity to get one over on Broady, replied: “I remember once seeing this kid playing a computer game in the lobby of a hotel in Antwerp on his laptop, headphones on with microphone attached.”

Before finishing off with a subtle dig aimed Broady’s way: “Speaking to his friends whilst using WhatsApp with his free hand. His name was Liam broady and look how he turned out… Spanner.”

Broady did appear to take it in good humour though, responding: “Guilty as charged,” accompanied by a tongue-sticking-out emoji for good measure.

It comes after Broady claimed Murray has ‘five people to wipe your bum’ earlier in the year.

This time the pair were arguing over the breakfast options at the Atlanta Open, with Broady posting: “First match at 10am today so have to warm up at 8:30. Breakfast doesn’t open till 9am? Walked into player area and we’ve got… bagels. Really good for a high standard of tennis and tennis tournament in Atlanta.”

Murray, unimpressed by Broady’s criticisms, replied: “Hope you are okay mate. That sounds terrible. Surprised you hadn’t checked the breakfast situation ahead of time like most professionals would have done.”

The online duel continued, with Broady claiming: “You have five people just to wipe your bum for you man. You’ve never checked a situation ahead of time in your life, we are not the same.”

Murray’s next response was short and sweet, with the three-time Grand Slam winner issuing a simple fishing rod emoji – a suggestion Broady had fallen for his bait.

King Charles celebrated his 75th birthday a day early on Monday (13 November) when he was presented with a three-tiered cake at a party staged in his honour.

Charles joined a host of people, from community stalwarts nominated by friends and family who are also turning 75 this year, to representatives from organisations marking the same milestone, from the NHS to members of the Windrush generation.

Among the famous faces at the event in the grounds of the King’s Highgrove home in Gloucestershire were

celebrity chef Raymond Blanc, The Repair Shop host Jay Blades, and singer Leee John from the 1980s group Imagination.

Prince Harry simply “doesn’t care” about not being invited to his dad King Charles’ birthday celebration, according to a royal expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly didn’t make it on to the guest list for His Majesty’s upcoming 75th birthday gathering at Clarence House on November 14.

But according to Buckingham Palace expert and commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, Harry won’t be losing sleep over the apparent snub.

“I really don’t think Harry cares about not being invited to his father’s 75th. The rift runs deep,” Fitzwilliams told the

“The Sussexes reportedly still want an apology from the royal family,” he continued.

“What the future holds is uncertain. It is not a pleasant prospect for King Charles to deal with.”

Fitzwilliams said it would “take years” for Harry and the royals to reconcile, hinting that the Firm no longer trusts the Sussexes and their intentions.

“Who would trust Harry and Meghan, especially after their timing releasing the news about not hearing anything about an invite to King Charles’ 75th birthday celebrations hours before the King’s first speech opening Parliament as Monarch,” he added.

Fitzwilliams this week slammed the couple over their “inappropriate timing” in speaking out about the monarch’s upcoming birthday on the same day he made the first King’s Speech in over 70 years.
