Kate Middleton, according to Roman Kemp, walked into the home of his parents, Martin Kemp and Shirlie Holliman, moments later, and made a bizarre offer.
The future Queen and the radio presenter, who met him after she approached him about a mental health project, said their friendship developed as a result of the project and the accompanying filming.
Roman’s house was the location of Kate’s proposal, but he later suggested using his parents’ property as a backdrop.
Roman, 32, recalled that upon Kate’s arrival, 43, she immediately volunteered to remove her shoes after noticing everyone else had done so,reports the Express.
He claimed that when she arrived, she noticed that everyone else had removed their shoes, so she offered to take them off. It was unbelievable. You never, in fact, anticipate a member of the Royal Family wearing a pair of socks! “
Roman, whose father Martin is currently competing in the I’m A Celebrity jungle, revealed the correspondence did not end following Kate’s visit.
He continued, “A few weeks later she wrote a lovely letter thanking them and asking if there was any chance of more, which my mother has kept.” “
It was fantastic to work with her. She also kindly gave me a thank-you note, which I have framed on my home wall. “
Roman’s revelations come as the Princess of Wales launches a new initiative aimed at supporting parents. Kate’s Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood has invested £100,000 into research examining how parents can better manage technology-related distractions that often interfere with family life.
According to the Express, the program aims to minimize disruptions caused by digital devices, helping families strengthen their relationships.

There are numerous studies on how digital devices impact relationships, but there is currently no conclusive evidence about how people turn to their digital devices when it interferes with family life, according to Christian Guy, executive director of the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.

Ed Sheeran may be a multi award winning Grammy musician, his young daughters would rather listen to Disney’s Moana soundtrack than his hit songs. The musician shares daughters, Lyra, five, and Jupiter, three, with his wife Cherry Seaborn and reveals he does test out new material on them, but they appear to be his harshest critics. Ed, 34, said: “They like certain songs. When I sing the Moana soundtrack it goes down well. Yesterday I sang them a new song and they were like ‘can you sing Moana’.”

The artist has produced some of the most well-known songs, including the number one hits Shape of You, Thinking Out Loud, and Perfect.
His revelation comes as it was reported that Taylor Swift has fallen out with her ‘second brother’ Ed after releasing her new album close to Ed’s own new project.
Since 2012, the two have been friends, and they have frequently performed on stage together. Due to Ed’s ignorance of Taylor’s release of The Life Of A Showgirl album, the friendship is now referred to as “strained.”
On September 12, Ed announced that his eighth studio album, Play, would be released, and months later, Taylor made it known that she would be releasing her own album on October 3, just weeks after Ed’s announcement.
According to an insider, Ed “takes these things seriously and carefully plans his album releases.” He gave four months’ notice for his album, but Taylor gave just two weeks’ notice for hers.
His team had to work overtime to get as much attention as possible before hers dropped. He was incredibly shy and, it is understandable, irritable. They asserted that Taylor’s “pulling a similar move” wasn’t the first time he did it.
Despite being close friends, Taylor also revealed that Ed learned about her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce through an Instagram post.
While promoting her album, The Life Of A Showgirl, Taylor took to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to discuss her music and engagement.
During a fun question-and-answer session, host Jimmy inquired about whether the rumors about her were true and false.
Before the songstress attempted to explain herself, the presenter fell to the floor in shock as Taylor admitted, “That’s so true.”
She continued, “I have a perfect explanation. He lacks access to a phone. He is required to find an iPad, which they will give him as he grows up, and you must email or FaceTime him.
“This is one of my absolute favourite people on the planet. When the news came out, I was like, ‘We forgot to call Ed!”Ed backed this up while shooting down any claims of a rift, he said, “I have actually got rid of the iPad was well . I am not on anything anymore.
I think Taylor and I are mates, which is how I do it. And we immediately caught up with one another, which was a four-hour catch-up that went on in also happens when we see each other when we interact. And we resume where we left off.

South Africa 489: Muthusamy 109, Jansen 93, Kuldeep 4-115
India 9-0: Jaiswal 7*
By 480, India is in the lead.
After South Africa scored 489 on day two of the second Test in Guwahati, India must now face a difficult task to prevent a further home Test series defeat.
Senuran Muthusamy and Marco Jansen, who are 1-0 up in the two-match series, frustrated the hosts by keeping them on the field for the majority of the day, while Marco Jansen, who is a career-best 93, scored their first Test century.
Muthusamy returned with a 25-run lead after splitting a stand of 88 with Verreyne and 97 with Jansen before being dismissed for 109 from 206 balls.
Jansen scored the winning run with seven sixes in his 91-ball knock, Muthusamy ducked in.
No team has ever conceded a Test run in the opening innings of a match in India before losing.
After just 6.1 overs of their reply, the umpires’ frustration was made even worse by. They were 9-0.
India hasn’t lost a Test series away from home for 12 years, until New Zealand defeated them 3-3 last year.

After New Zealand defeated a spirited Wales side once more at the Principality Stadium, the story was strange to follow.
On Saturday night, there was undoubtedly a difference in opinion across the social media divide and on the streets of Cardiff.
On the one hand, there was the perception that Steve Tandy’s side’s 52-26 defeat was less bad than many people had anticipated and that there were positive signs.
After all, the majority of Welsh supporters would have taken the ball before a 26-point deficit was thrown.
After Tom Rogers scored the third try of his historic hat-trick, there was a sense that only trailing by three points in the second half should have been seen as a moral victory and evidence that progress was being made under the new regime.
In summary, despite defeat, hope was resurrected.
There was, however, a different viewpoint. One that questioned whether it was ever acceptable to give up more than 50 points at home against what was essentially a second-string New Zealand side should ever be.
That assertion exposed how underwhelming Welsh rugby has become, making it almost impossible to celebrate this sort of outcome.
reasons to believe optimism
Picture agency for Huw Evans
Just after half-time, the country’s supporters dared to imagine a surprise as Wales only lost by 24-21.
Dewi Lake, the captain of Wales, said, “We believe in our ability.
“We weren’t given a lot of hope from the outside, but we were supported by ourselves inside.”
We believed we could accomplish that because we set expectations for ourselves every week to go prove a point and accomplish a task.
Only the second time Wales have been successful in scoring four tries against the All Blacks.
In Cardiff, Wales also recorded their highest total points scored against New Zealand, as evidenced by one outstanding long pass from returning centre Joe Hawkins.
“A lot of what we want to do and what we’ve been working on has shined through,” Lake said.
Our physicality was evident in the way we attacked.
The first Welshman to record a hat-trick against New Zealand was Wing Rogers.
Following his return from American Football and the NFL, Louis Rees-Zammit impressed as he continued to ease his way back into rugby union.
Rees-Zammit scored a try and a towering high-ball catch that also gave Rogers its first try.
Wales’ Harri Deaves and Morgan Morse and Dragons hooker Brodie Coghlan won three new caps in the back-row, while Exeter lock Dafydd Jenkins, who is only 22, won one of his Test matches.

Character shines through
Wales’ recent 22 Test appearances since the 2023 World Cup have resulted in 20 losses, but Saturday’s success demonstrated how unquestionable the character of this squad is.
“The effort the boys put in is incredible proud,” Lake remarked.
It demonstrates the character of this group and how we talked about not giving up.
“We made them work until the very end,” he said. After the match, we discussed how it demonstrates the level of education available to boys. Sometimes you don’t realize until you’re made to go there.
Lake insists that the squad is a formidable force that will push opposing teams.
He continued, “We have expanded on what we promised to do, and it’s time to move forward.”
Wearing a red jersey, “there is always motivation.” You are giving it everything when you wear this badge, and this group clearly shows this.
Powerhouse New Zealand demonstrate their physical dominance
Picture agency for Huw Evans
In international rugby circles, character and combat only lead to character, and New Zealand’s standing in both class and quality.
This victory extended the All Blacks’ winning streak against Wales to 34 games, which dates back to 1953.
Wales conceded 50 points at home for the third time this year, despite having played their 50th opponent for 50 minutes, despite England and Argentina also scoring a 50th.
In Cardiff, the All Blacks also collected more than 50 points for the third straight game.
Although Wales missed 38 tackles, New Zealand still managed seven tries thanks to Damian McKenzie’s kick, which was defiant and steadfast home defense, despite this.
New Zealand dominance was demonstrated by the match statistics. Wales’ 593 yards and 362 meters were accounted for by the All Blacks, who managed 1, 362 meters from 167 carries. Compared to 85 tackles made by New Zealand, Tandem’s team recorded 223 tackles.
Despite all of Wales’ efforts, the All Blacks repeatedly crossed the gainline with imposing winger Caleb Clarke and dynamic eighth-ranked Wallace Sititi, who both emphasized how the visitors appeared bigger, faster, and stronger.
Our power game was strong, said All Blacks coach Robertson.
We are ranked one and two in the world in many different ways, and one of them is our power game.
“We anticipated that their breakdown would take a while, and they would be in it at 50 or 60 minutes,” said one employee. “But fatigue would set in and we could make the most of it.”
Wales is plagued by bad behavior.
Wales eventually conceded penalties for their transgressions, going against the law, 14 times, compared to four New Zealand attacks.
Gareth Thomas and number eight Taine Plumtree were sent yellow cards in the final quarter for Wales.
In the end, Lake said, “We have to evaluate our discipline in this campaign over the last few games.”
It’s difficult to stop the team from succeeding if you give them the same level of talent as the All Blacks in your 22 attempts.
It’s difficult when you have to back that up five or six times in a row, even though we did well in a few defense sets.
Springboks travel to Cardiff to play a test.
When the Springboks arrive in Cardiff, Wales will now face the top team and the world champions after falling to the second-ranked team.
South Africa finally came out in Dublin after a 13-year wait for victory in Wales’ most recent defeat with a 24-13 victory over Ireland.
South Africa is now gearing up for their final Test match of the year in preparation for their subsequent victories against France and Italy on this tour.
Wales will be without 13 of its English and French rugby league counterparts. Next weekend will be the last of no other international competitions.
Non-Welsh based players are not available for the match because the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has organized the game outside of World Rugby’s international window.
Due to financial considerations, the match will clash with a weekend of United Rugby Championship (URC) games, with the four professional Welsh teams playing league games.
Next weekend’s club schedule will be the only international games that are scheduled.
Following the All Blacks’ deft defeat, Welsh rugby managed to maintain a sense of optimism.
