What Queen Camilla told Arthur Fery after his stunning Wimbledon quarter-final win
Arthur Fery has revealed he shared a ‘special’ exchange with Queen Camilla after his stunning Wimbledon quarter-final win.
Britain’s new number one, who received a wildcard to play at his home Grand Slam, thrashed Flavio Cobolli to storm into the Wimbledon semi-finals.
Queen Camilla was a guest in the Royal Box on Centre Court on Wednesday and bumped into both Fery and Cobolli as they prepared to walk onto court.
The Queen was keen to personally congratulate Fery after the one-sided quarter-final and told the 23-year-old to ‘keep going’ ahead of his semi-final against French Open champion Alexander Zverev.
‘We were getting ready to come on and she came to say hello, she introduced herself to both me and Flavio,’ Fery said in his post-match press conference.
‘It’s obviously an honour to play in front of her and it was great to meet her. She had some really kind words to me at the end, as well.
‘So yeah, playing in front of tennis legends and now the Queen… it’s really special.’
Asked what the Queen said to him after the biggest win of his career, Fery added: ‘She was waiting for me at the end of the match and she congratulated me.
‘I told her how much of an honour it was for me to play in front of her and she said, “congratulations, keep going!”
‘I told her it was my birthday on Sunday, so it would be great to play the Wimbledon final on my birthday.’
