A professional rapper praised the Princess of Wales as a 'brilliant role model'

Princess Kate left a professional rapper so starstruck that he felt like a "prawn" while sitting next to her, it has been claimed.

Professor Green is known for his successful music career, but in recent years he founded Aguulp, his vitamin company.


Through this, the rapper, whose real name is Stephen Marsden, has got the opportunity to work with the Princess of Wales.

Kate, 41, and Marsden, 39, visited a London school for a children's mental health talk in May this year.

The rapper said: "It’s impossible not to feel starstruck by Kate.

"She’s got such incredible posture - I looked like a prawn when I was sat next to her!

"I looked all curled up, even though I’m taller than her with her heels on, the way she holds herself is magnificent."

The Read All About It rapper worked with Heads Together, a campaign coordinated by the Prince and Princess of Wales, which explains how he got to know Princess Kate.

Marsden added: "The touch of the Royal Family has never felt normal.

"The work she’s doing to help kids out there these days is absolutely incredible, she’s a brilliant role model.

"It was great to get behind a curtain and learn more about why she’s so invested in young people," he told OK!.

The 39-year-old previously appeared on Good Morning Britain, where he spoke about introducing the princess to his grandfather.

He said: "She was 80 a little less than two weeks ago and she was nervous, excited and made sure she got a new blouse the day before.

"[She] had my Aunty Karen doing her hair the morning of.

"She loved it, she was lovely. The [princess] was so kind to her."
