‘I think he is a devoted husband and father’: James Corden reveals he and Prince Harry’s children have play dates
James Corden has praised Prince Harry as a devoted husband and father and revealed their children have play dates together.
The chat show host, 43, has become pals with Harry and his wife Meghan Markle and lives just an hour and a half away from the couple’s sprawling mansion in Montecito, California.
Speaking to The Sun, James revealed he and wife Julia Carey have been for dinner with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their kids also spend time together.

Asked if he had been to the couple’s £11million home, James said: ‘I have. It was more a sort of play date scenario [with the kids]. Then we went out for dinner after, it was lovely.’
James and Julia are parents to children Max, 11, Carey, seven, and Charlotte, four, while Prince Harry and Meghan share Archie, three, and Lilibet, 11 months.
Harry previously appeared as a guest on The Late Late Show shortly after he moved to Los Angeles with Meghan.
Adding that he knows Harry better than Meghan, James said he finds it hard to be ‘judgemental’ of the pair, seemingly referring to their decision to step down as senior members of the royal family and move to the US.

He said: ‘I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for Harry, and anyone who has been around him and spent time with him would feel exactly the same way.
‘I think he is a devoted and loving husband and father and I think what they have done [in turning away from royal life] is incredibly brave and I’ll always be in their corner.’
Although he is quitting his CBS chat show in 2023, James said he is also a big fan of Prince William and Kate Middleton and would love to have them as guests but added he is not ‘holding [his] breath’.
James and his wife Julia are planning to relocate to the UK after his time on his CBS show has come to an end.

The comedian said they will start tentatively house-hunting when he is back in London next month.
The star also said that he would be open to hosting another chat show in the future but thinks it would be ‘odd’ to do something similar to The Late Late Show.
James said he never wanted the show to feel like it had overstayed its welcome and hopes there will still be other things for him to do.
James promised to ‘go out with a bang’ as he informed audiences of his decision to step down as the host of The Late Late Show.

James said the show had ‘changed my life’ and promised there would be ‘lots of tears’ when his tenure came to an end.
‘Seven and half years ago I started hosting this show and there’s no other way to put it, it has changed my life,’ he said.
‘I never saw as it as my final destination, and I never want this show to overstay its welcome, I love making it and I really think in a year from now that will be a good time to move on and see what’s out there.’
He added: ‘We are all determined to make this the best year we have ever had…we are going to go out with a bang.
‘The fact that you watch this…all over the world…is an absolute privilege for me and every single person who makes this show.’
