British tennis player Arthur Fury extended an invitation to the royal children of Prince William and Princess Kate for a match.
The French-born player made his way to the semi finals in the 2026 Wimbledon on Saturday.
The athlete spoke to William, Kate and their children George and Charlotte on Sunday and invited them to play with him.
Speaking to the Princess of Wales, he said “I hear your children play tennis a lot…if you guys want to hit some balls anytime, that would be great.”
Kate praised the 24-year-old for his remarkable performance in the tournament saying he had done a “fantastic” job.
Arthur replied “Thanks a lot, I’m so pleased, it was a great two weeks.”
“I’m so glad that I got to spend so much time here and thank you for coming.”
It was also his 24th birthday on July 12, the day of the final. The future king and queen signed birthday card for him.
After the match, Arthur reflected on his conversation with the royals and said “I know the whole family are all tennis fans, so I told her if her kids ever wanted to hit, I’m free. It would be good to see them again…Let’s see if I get the call up.”
Arthur’s Wimbledon dream ended after German star Alexander Zverev beat him in the semi final.
