Roman Kemp, a radio and TV presenter known for his mental health advocacy, shared experiences from his interactions with British royals, including Prince Harry and Kate, Princess of Wales. In an interview with The Times published on May 14, 2024, Kemp described a memorable event where he was asked by the Princess to DJ at an after-party. During this event, he shared the DJ booth with Prince Harry, who advised him to play clean versions of rap songs.
Kemp has actively supported mental health awareness, notably through his 2021 film Our Silent Emergency, focused on the mental health challenges faced by young men. This film is now used as an educational resource in schools.
Additionally, Kemp collaborated with the Princess on a short film about mental health and its importance in early childhood development. He recalled a personal meeting held at his parent's home with the Princess, highlighting a casual moment when she took her shoes off, which he found unusual and surreal for royal encounters.
Kemp also touched upon the Princess's recent public revelation of her cancer diagnosis following rampant speculation about her health, expressing sympathy over her needing to address the public under such scrutiny.
Furthermore, Kemp and his father Martin Kemp have started a new podcast titled "FFS! My Dad is Martin Kemp," where they discuss various sensitive issues, including death and parenting.
