Prince William the first time they met. In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, the Capital FM DJ, 29, spoke about his first time meeting The Duke of Cambridge and how he massively broke royal protocol.

It comes as the star is currently partnered with The National Lottery which has granted £22 million to communities to fund the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.Express.co.uk asked Roman if he had ever met any of the royals as he prepared for his BBC hosting job for the The Platinum Party at the Palace on June 4.He said: "I have been very lucky to meet William, Harry and Kate and I am not just saying it, but they’re really nice."And I’ve appreciated all the work they’ve done around mental health and I have always been very aware and happy for the work they do."I will never forget the first time I met Prince William, I was doing a mental health talk with him and I was given a whole protocol to follow," he added.The star went on: "They were saying to me ‘Learn your highness, how to curtsey' as well as telling us where to stand."You know it was a very regal chat and I was just worrying, am I supposed to bow?Roman continued: "I just remember a football match being on in the corner and it had just finished."It was a bit of a crazy game and Prince William just looked over and then he came walking over to say hello."Everything the person had said to me had gone out the window and the first word I said to our future king was 'F***ing hell mate, that was mad!'"He just laughed!

I remember panicking, 'does he think I was swearing at him?' Roman said.He explained: "After that protocol went out the window we didn’t go back on it.
