Princess Anne has declined the opportunity to learn how to rap during an investiture at St James's Palace. The offer was made by Bhishma Asare, 34, who created Rap Therapy to help young people develop their creativity and express themselves positively through rap. Mr Asare works as an English teacher at the Royal Russell School in Croydon and has been a long-time rapper. The English teacher explained that rap is a key tool in helping people communicate and express themselves to one another. When you think about rap, rhythm and poetry, what we wanted to do is to break the stigma of rap.
