Prince Harry recently made a guest appearance on the hit talk show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and let’s just say he did not hold back. The Duke of Sussex shared some spicy details about his life, including a surprising connection to Hollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow.
Harry revealed that there was a brief period in his life when he was Gwyneth Paltrow‘s neighbor in London. While Paltrow was living in a stunning mansion, Harry was humbly residing in a small house next door. The prince humorously admitted that his encounters with Paltrow in the garden were the extent of their interaction. He jokingly acknowledged that this may not be his best anecdote, but it certainly adds a fun twist to their unlikely friendship.
Speaking of friendships, Harry disclosed that Paltrow recently sent him a text message. He excitedly shared the details with James Corden and the audience, revealing that Paltrow expressed her enthusiasm for his appearance on the show and praised his TV show, “Royal Mammals,” which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Harry playfully took the opportunity to suggest starting a lifestyle brand with Paltrow, jokingly proposing the name “Droop” and suggesting they exclusively sell erectile dysfunction products. It seems like these two have a great sense of humor and banter!
During the interview, Corden and Harry also explored the world of celebrities and their ventures into skincare. They discussed Brad Pitt, who apparently has his very own skincare line named after himself. Harry quipped that he would be more interested in a skincare line launched by acclaimed actor Paul Giamatti. The prince even joked about wanting to don Giamatti’s skin over Pitt’s face, creating an amusing hypothetical “Lifestyle brand” with a unique twist.
In addition to all the laughter and light-hearted moments, some news updates were also shared on the show. James Corden briefly touched on President Biden’s visit to Mexico City for a summit with other North American leaders, humorously mentioning how the event is commonly referred to as “The Three Amigos Summit.” Corden couldn’t resist teasing Biden’s probable use of the word “Amigo” throughout the meeting.
The talk then shifted to the dramatic election of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, after several contentious votes and a four-day process. Corden jokingly pointed out the irony of electing someone named Kevin into a position of power, highlighting the chaos that unfolded during the voting process.
Moving on to international news, Corden mentioned the recent unrest in Brazil, where right-wing supporters of the former president caused havoc by ransacking government buildings. He sarcastically remarked on where they may have gotten their inspiration from, hinting at the political turmoil in the United States.
But the real headline of the evening was Prince Harry himself. With his upcoming book “Spare” set to release, he gave a candid interview and shared some personal stories. One surprising tidbit was that Harry had to obtain permission from the royal family to sport a beard at his own wedding. This revelation may come as a surprise to many, as it highlights the royal protocols that even extend to personal grooming choices. Harry reassured the bearded community that he would feel very different without his beard and appealed to all who understand the significance of facial hair.
Not stopping there, Prince Harry went on to discuss losing his virginity in a field behind a pub, leaving the audience in laughter and shock. Attempting to lighten the mood, he acknowledged that this isn’t exactly the best story, but sometimes life throws unexpected experiences at everyone.
Harry also addressed his past drug use in the interview, mentioning marijuana, magic mushrooms, and even cocaine. He jokingly commented on how being high on mushrooms in the royal palace might not be the most ideal situation, with ancestral portraits potentially coming to life and giving directions.
Wrapping up the show, Corden shared a peculiar story about a Japanese man who spent a significant amount of money to fulfill his dream of looking like a real wolf walking on hind legs. While some may find this strange, Corden humorously referred to it as a potential red flag on a dating profile.
Prince Harry‘s appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden certainly provided viewers with laughter, surprises, and interesting insights into his life. Whether he’s sharing hilarious anecdotes, discussing unexpected topics, or simply having fun with the host, it’s evident that the prince knows how to captivate an audience.
