Princess Kate’s ‘surreal’ offer after arriving at Martin Kemp’s home | Royal | News

Roman Kemp has revealed that Princess Kate made a surreal offer shortly after arriving at the home of his parents, Martin Kemp and Shirlie Holliman.

Roman, who got to know the future Queen after she contacted him about a mental health project, explained that their friendship developed through the project and the filming that came with it.

Originally, Kate had suggested they shoot the video at Roman’s own house, but he instead recommended they use his parents’ home.

Roman, 32, said that when Kate, 43, arrived, she immediately offered to take her shoes off because she noticed that no one else was wearing theirs.

He told The Sun: “I remember when she arrived she could see everyone else had taken their shoes off so she offered to take hers off. It was surreal. Somehow you never expect to see a member of the Royal Family in their socks!”

Roman, whose father Martin is currently in the I’m A Celebrity jungle, said that the communication continued even after Kate’s visit.

He explained: “A few weeks later she wrote a lovely letter, which my mum has kept, thanking them and saying that Prince George loved the juice — and asking if there was any chance of more!

“Working with her was amazing. She very kindly wrote me a thank-you note too, which I have framed on my wall at home.”

Roman’s comments come as the Princess of Wales announces an exciting new initiative aimed at supporting parents.

Kate’s Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood has unveiled a new project that will invest £100,000 in research exploring how parents can manage tech-related distractions that can sometimes disrupt family life.

The new project will aim to understand and explore ways to help families build stronger bonds by reducing the impact of digital devices as a source of distraction, reports the Express.

In a statement about the initiative, Christian Guy, executive director of the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, said: “There have been numerous studies about how digital devices impact relationships, but there is currently a lack of evidence about what is causing people to turn to their digital devices at times when it is interrupting family life and, importantly, how to help people reduce this unwanted interference.

“The Centre is seeking to address these gaps in research so we can find the solutions that will make a real difference to families’ lives.”
