Boris Becker was imprisoned in April 2022 for bankruptcy fraud and sent a message to Prince Harry.

The 55-year-old former tennis player was sentenced to two and a half years after being found guilty in a case related to the Insolvency Act. The German sent a message to Prince Harry:

“Don’t forget where you come from, because you may have to go back there. And marriages don’t always last forever, last time I checked.”

The 6-time Grand Slam champion was a commentator for the BBC when he was supposed to begin his sentence at London's notorious HMP Wandsworth.

“It’s a dangerous place. After the first week, I realised that this is survival, and if I spend any time looking back, I’m losing,” said Becker.

“I need all my energy to survive every single day. The moment they come with the keys – you hear it, it’s a noise you never forget.”

Becker was then transferred to Huntercombe Prison in Nuffield and said that he was there "surrounded by murderers, drug dealers, people smugglers," former world No. 1 said.

“At first, you’re scared, because this guy killed two people with his hands, he’s already doing 18 years. Imagine! He becomes your buddy," and added “The British justice system is brutal.”

The former tennis player still denies the charges he was found guilty of:

"It was naivety, it was bad advice. But it wasn’t bad intention . Should I have better advisers? Yes. I’m going to start listening to my common sense, instead of having these tens of advisers and lawyers.”

“We all struggle with our taxes. And the more money you have, the more complicated it gets.”

Becker was released from prison and deported to Germany after seven and a half months, and he is currently living in Munich."
