Emma joined the BBC for an interview, revealing: “It meant everything to get a message from Her Majesty.”
“She’s such a great inspiration and role model for the whole country so to have a note from her… I was extremely honoured and very, very grateful that she took notice of my tennis. I can’t believe it. I’m maybe going to frame that letter or something,” Emma said.
