No matter how house proud you are, it's a lot of pressure to invite a member of the royal family such as the Princess of Wales to visit.

Captial Breakfast presenter Roman Kemp was faced with a major dilemma when Princess Kate asked to host a meeting in his London bachelor pad amid their discussions on mental health for her Shaping Us campaign. 

Despite describing his modest London flat as his "dream place" when he moved in back in 2020, the BRIT Awards host decided to hold his one-in-a-lifetime meeting with Princess Kate at his parents Martin and Shirlie Kemp's home.

"It was an honour but it was one of the weirdest things. We had a Zoom call, just her and me,” he explained as they discussed mental health amid the royal's Shaping Us campaign. "And she was like, 'Oh, you know, I can come over to your place and do it there.’ And I just said, ‘No, let’s go to my parents’. It’s a bigger house. I don’t want to bring royalty to a flat in Vauxhall.'"

So what's Roman's house really like? The Capital FM DJ debuted his property in a photo with his ex-girlfriend Anne-Sophie Flury, which saw them sitting in the modern kitchen with taupe handleless cabinets, black worktops and integrated appliances including a wine fridge.

The open-plan lounge has been revealed on several occasions, particularly in one of Anne-Sophie's mirror selfies in April 2020. She stood in front of an elaborate gold gilded mirror, with the reflection showing wooden floorboards, white walls, spotlights and a mirrored storage space.

A cream sofa and a black and gold chair were positioned around a glass coffee table, facing towards their TV which rested on a white unit.

This area got a makeover just a few months later, with Roman revealing before and after photos. Now, the TV is integrated into a built-in pale wooden cabinet featuring, mirrors and lights.

It acts as the perfect space for Roman to enjoy a few beers as he watches TV, or to play games with his mother Shirlie! Floor-to-ceiling windows covered with cream curtains shroud the space in privacy, while a grey and white patterned blanket offer warmth on a cool night.

Roman shared a better look at the dining area when he filmed a TikTok video with Anne-Sophie. The circular dining table was surrounded by four neutral cushioned chairs and a Frida Kahlo portrait added a pop of colour to the room.

Showing off his calming bedroom, Roman told his followers: "My new house has become quite the project and couldn't be happier with my new bed and tables from @bensonsforbedshq genuine legends for helping out, thank you!"

He perched on the edge of his double bed, featuring a plush cream headboard and a champagne-coloured silk quilted bedsheet. His white two-drawer bedside tables have gold legs and handles to match the luxurious yet neutral aesthetic of the rest of his flat.
