James Corden has revealed
that he and his wife Julia Carey have visited Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle’s £11million Montecito home and that their children have enjoyed a
playdate.
The Gavin & Stacey star
made the rare comments about the couple after being asked if he had been to
their home.
“I have. It was more
a sort of play date scenario [with the kids]. Then we went out for dinner
after, it was lovely,” he told the Sun.
He also confessed he had
“a huge amount of respect and admiration for Harry” before adding
that he will “always be in their corner”.

James and Julia attended the couple’s royal wedding in 2018
The presenter and Julia are
parents to three children: Max, 11, Carey, seven, and four-year-old Charlotte,
while Prince Harry and Meghan share Archie, three, and Lilibet, who turns 1
next month.
Sadly, for the Duke and
Duchess, their playdates could come to an end next year as James recently
revealed that he will be leaving The Late Late Show, which he has hosted
since 2015, next year. It is thought the actor wants to move back to the
UK with his family.
James and Harry have a good
relationship – so much so, that the royal appeared on his show last
year.

Harry and Meghan recently celebrated Archie’s third birthday
In the interview, which was
aired a month before Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah, Harry got candid
about family life, revealing Archie’s first word – crocodile – and
the unique gift the Queen sent his nearly two-year-old for Christmas – a
waffle maker.
“My son is now over a
year and a half, he is hysterical, he’s got the most amazing personality, he’s
already putting two, three words together, he’s already singing songs. His
first word was ‘crocodile’, three syllables,” he told James at the time when asked about fatherhood.
He later added:
“Interestingly, my grandmother asked us what Archie wanted for Christmas
and Meg said a waffle maker, she sent us a waffle maker for Archie so breakfast
now, Meg makes up a beautiful organic mix, in the waffle maker, flip it, out it
comes, he loves it. Archie literally wakes up in the morning and says
‘waffle’.”
