Martin Kemp<\/a> and his wife Shirlie Kemp enjoyed “tea and biscuits” with Catherine, Princess of Wales, and gave her a surprise gift when she visited their home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Catherine, Princess of Wales<\/p>\n
In 2023, the couple’s 32-year-old son, Roman Kemp, got to know the future Queen, 43, well when the pair fronted the mental health campaign Shaping Us – which aims to raise awareness of how vital early childhood is in shaping adulthood.<\/p>\n
Roman recalled to The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “A member of the palace team asked me if they could set up a Zoom call to discuss the details.<\/p>\n
“I was expecting a load of people on the call and couldn\u2019t believe it when it turned out to be just me and her.<\/p>\n
“She asked whether we could do the filming at my house. I was like, \u2018My parents\u2019 house is much nicer, let\u2019s do it there.’<\/p>\n
\n“So my mum raced out and got a load of nice things in, and suddenly the future Queen is having tea and biscuits with her and my dad!”<\/p>\n
\nThe Kemps could not believe it when Princess Catherine took off her shoes and roamed around their house in her socks.<\/p>\n
\nRoman continued: “I remember when she arrived, she could see everyone else had taken their shoes off, so she offered to take hers off.<\/p>\n
\n“It was surreal. Somehow you never expect to see a member of the Royal Family in their socks!”<\/p>\n
\nFormer Spandau Ballet bassist Martin, 64, and ex-Wham! backing vocalist Shirlie, 63, gifted the Princess of Wales fresh apple juice – which the Kemps press in their garden – and it got the royal seal of approval from Princess Catherine and her eldest child, 12 year old Prince George.<\/p>\n
\nRoman remembered: “Later, my parents gave her some of the apple juice which they press in their garden to take home as a little gift.<\/p>\n
\n“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 is there any chance of more!”<\/p>\n
\nThe TV presenter loved working with Princess Catherine – who sent Roman a thank you note, which he framed and displays on his wall at home.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “Working with her was amazing. She very kindly wrote me a thank-you note, too, which I have framed on my wall at home.”<\/p>\n
