Royal Box Rule Breaker at Wimbledon?
13 Jul
Summary
- Gus Wenner, Rolling Stone heir, removed his jacket in the Royal Box.
- Queen Camilla and sister Annabel Elliot were present at the match.
- Arthur Fery, a British wildcard, reached the semifinals.
Queen Camilla attended Wimbledon on July 8, observing the women's singles quarterfinal where Marta Kostyuk defeated Jasmine Paolini. Her presence highlighted a protocol breach by Gus Wenner, an American and Rolling Stone heir, who was seated behind her without a jacket. This action contrasted sharply with Wimbledon's strict dress code, which mandates jackets and ties.
Wenner, reportedly dating actress Elle Fanning, has been a subject of press attention. His attire choice was noted as a departure from typical Wimbledon protocol, particularly for non-British attendees. The article suggests this could impact future invitations for his girlfriend.
In a separate highlight, British wildcard Arthur Fery progressed to the semifinals, becoming a crowd favorite. Féry's dual nationality and upbringing near Wimbledon contributed to his popularity. Despite a semifinal loss to Alexander Zverev on July 10, Féry's performance and engaging personality have made him a notable figure of the tournament.
