LOS ANGELES AND I ACTUALLY FOUND THE PERFECT HOUSE. HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED THE FRESH
PRINCE OF BEL-AIR? >> YES. >> James: THIS HERE RIGHT

LOT. I THINK WE'RE DONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, WE GOT TO GO. >> SEE YOU SOON. SO WHEN DID YOU KNOW THAT MEGHAN
WAS THE ONE? >> THE SECOND DATE I WAS
STARTING TO THINK WOW, THIS IS PRETTY SPECIAL. >> James: WHY? WHERE DID DID YOU GO? >> IT WASN'T SO MUCH WHERE WE
WENT T WAS JUST THE WAY THAT WE HIT IT OFF WITH EACH OTHER AND
SO COMFORTABLE IN EACH OTHER'S COMPANY. BASICALLY WITH ME OR ANY MEMBER
OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, I GUESS, IT WAS KIND OF FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN. ALL THE DATES BECOME DINNERS OR
WATCHING THE TV OR CHATTING AT HOME. AND THEN EVENTUALLY ONCE YOU
BECOME A COUPLE, THEN YOU VENTURE OUT TO DINNERS SO THE
CINEMA AND EVERYTHING ELSE, SO EVERYTHING WAS DONE BACK TO
FRONT WITH US. SO WE GOT TO SPEND AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF TIME JUST THE TWO OF US, RATHER THAN GOING TO FRIENDS
HOUSES OR OUT TO DINNER WHERE THERE WERE OTHER DISTRACTIONS,
THERE WERE NO DISTRACTIONS, THAT WAS GREAT, TA WAS AN AMAZING
THING. WE WENT FROM 0 TO 60 LIKE IN THE
FIRST TWO MONTHS. SWRZ AND WHAT SAY REGULAR NIGHT
IN LIKE FOR YOU BOTH. >> DEPENDING ON HOW THE DAY HAS
BEEN, HOW BUSY IT HAS BEEN. ARCHIE, GIVE HIM BATH, READ HIM
A BOOK, PUT HIM DOWN, GO DOWN TAIRS, MAKE MY COOK A MALE,
MIGHT ORDER A TAKEAWAY, GO UPSTAIR, SIT IF BED, TURN THE TV
ON, WATCH JEOPARDY, MAYBE A LITTLE NETFLIX. >> James: AND HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THE CROWN. >> THEY DON'T JUST-- IT IS
FICTION LEIGH-- FICTIONALLY BUTS WILL LEIGH BASED ON THE TRUTH. >> James: YOU DO THINK LOOSELY
IT DOES FEEL LIKE. >> IT GIVES YOU A ROUGH IDEA
ABOUT WHAT THAT LIFESTYLE, WHAT THE PRESSURES OF PUTTING DUTY
AND SERVICE ABOVE FAMILY AND EVERYTHING ELSE, WHAT CAN COME
FROM THAT. I AM WAY MORE COMFORTABLE WITH
THE CROWN THAN I AM BEING THE STORIES WRITTEN ABOUT MY FAMILY
OR MY WIFE OR MYSELF. BECAUSE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN,
THAT IS OBVIOUSLY FICTION, TAKE IT HOW YOU WILL. BUT THIS IS BEING REPORTED ON AS
FACT BECAUSE YOU ARE SUPPOSEDLY YOU. I HAVE A REAL ISSUE WITH THAT. >> James: WHO WOULD YOU LIKE
TO SEE PLAY YOU? >> DANIEL LEWIS. >> James: DAMIAN LEWIS, THAT
IS A GREAT SHOUT. I THINK DAMIAN LEWIS IS YOU, AND
ME AS WILLIAM, THAT IS CASTING. >> GREAT-- BUT IT IS-- NOT GREAT
CASTING BUT IT IS CASTING. >> James: HOW ARE YOU FINDING
FATHERHOOD. >> MY SON IS NOW A YEAR AND A
HALF. HE IS HYSTERICAL. HE'S GOT THE MOST AMAZING
PERSONALITY. HE IS ALREADY PUTTING THREE,
FOUR WORDING TO, ALREADY SINGING SONGS. >> James: WHAT WAS HIS WORST
WORD. >> CROCODILE. >> James: CROCODILE, THREE
SYLLABLES. >> James: THAT IS A BIG WORD. >> INTERESTING, MY GRANDMOTHER
ASKED US WHAT ARCHIE WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS. AND THEY SAID A WAFFLE MAKER. SHE SENT A WAFFLE MAKER FOR
ARCHIE, SO BREAKFAST MEG MAKES UP A BEAUTIFUL ORGANIC MIX IN
THE WAFFLE MAKER. FLIP IT, OUT IT COMES, HE LOVES
IT. AND NOW I HAVE WAFFLES FOR
BREAKFAST, BIT OF YOGURT, JAM ON TOP, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS THE
RIGHT THING TO DO, BIT OF BERRIES, HONEY, SYRUP. >> James: SORRY, YOU ARE
GLOSSING OVER THE FACT THAT I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME THE
QUEEN ORDERING A WAFFLE MAKER TO BE SENT TO SANTA BARBARA, I
CAN'T GET MY HEAD AROUND. >> I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO
COMMENT ON THAT. ARCHIE WAKES UP IN THE MORNING,
GOES WAFFLE? >> James: DOES THE QUEEN KNOW
HOW TO USE THE ZOOM. >> YES, BOTH MY GRANDPARENTS DO. WE ZOOMED THEM A FEW TIMES, THEY
HAVE SEEN ARCHIE RUNNING AROUND. MY GRANDFATHER, INSTEAD OF
PRESSING LEAVE MEETING, HE JUST GOES-- IT IS LIKE BYE, BYE, I AM
DONE PRESSING-- OKAY. BYE. >> James: AND THEN NOW THAT
YOU LIVE HERE, WHAT IS LIFE LIKE, OR WHAT ARE YOU EXCITED
FOR IT TO BE OUT OF. >> HAVE I NO IDEA. A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT VERSION OF
WHAT WE WERE DOING IN THE U.K. ANYWAY, THAT IS WHAT OUR LIFE,
MY LIFE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE ABOUT PUBLIC SERVICE AND MEGHAN
SIGNED UP FOR THAT, AND THE TWO OF US ENJOY DOING THAT. TRYING TO BRING SOME COMPASSION
AND YOU KNOW, TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY AND TRY AND CHANGE
THE WORLD IN ANY SMALL WAY THAT WE CAN. >> James: IT IS SUCH A
MONUMENTAL DECISION TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM THE ROYAL
FAMILY. WHY DID YOU FEEL THAT THATS WITH
NECESSARY AND THE RIGHT THING TO DO FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY? >> IT WAS NEVER-- IT WAS NEVER
WALKING AWAY. IT WAS STEPPING BACK RATHER THAN
STEPPING DOWN. >> James: RIGHT. >> YOU KNOW, IT WAS A REALLY
DIFFICULT ENVIRONMENT, AS I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE SAW. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE BRITISH
PRESS CAN BE LIKE. AND IT WAS DESTROYING MY MENTAL
HEALTH. THIS IS-- SO I DID WHAT ANY
HUSBAND AND WHAT ANY FATHER WOULD DO IS I, I NEED TO GET MY
FAMILY OUT OF HERE. BUT WE NEVER WALKED AWAY. AN AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
WHATEVER DECISIONS ARE MADE ON THAT SIDE, I WILL NEVER WALK
AWAY. I WILL ALWAYS BE CONTRIBUTING,
BUT MY LIFE IN PUBLIC SERVICE, WHEREVER I AM IN THE WORLD, IT
IS GOING TO BE THE SAME THING. >> James: NOW BECAUSE I KNOW
WE'RE BOTH A LONG WAY AWAY FROM HOME, YOUR LIFE NOW IS VERY
DIFFERENT TO YOUR LIFE BACK HOME AND PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU ARE IN
THE MILITARY, SO I AM ACTUALLY ARRANGED A LITTLE SOMETHING TO
TAKE YOU BACK TO YOUR ROOTS, A LITTLE TASTE OF MILITARY LIFE. >> OKAY. >> James: AS A GIFT REALLY
FROM ME TO YOU. AND I AM ALREADY REGRETTING
SAYING THAT I WILL BE PART OF IT. BUT IF YOU FOLLOW ME, I'VE GOT A
TREAT FOR YOU. >> WHAT'S GOING ON, GUYSK I'M
SAM, WELCOME TO A MILITARY STYLE OBSTACLE COURSE WE HAVE LAID OUT
FOR YOU TODAY, PRINCE HARRY YOU HAVE ARMY EXPERIENCE, THAT IS
RIGHT. >> YEAH. >> JAMES, YOURSELF. >> James: YEAH, VERY MUCH A
MEMBER OF THE BTS ARMY. TALK US THROUGH THE COURSE, SAM,
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT. >> DOESN'T LOOK VERY SHORT. >> WE'VE GOT EIGHT OBSTACLES OUT
THERE FOR YOU. DESIGNED TO TEST YOU MENTALLY,
PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY. >> YOU LACKER IN VOWSES, ARE YOU
ALL RIGHT. >> James: FEEL COMPLETELY
PUMPED AND READY F ANYTHING I'M TOO JACKED FOR IT. >> ALL RIGHT GUYS, HERE WE GO,
WE WILL EXPLODE OUT OF THE GATE. >> WHAT IS THE COUNT DOWN. >> NORMALLY 321. >> READY, SET, GO. >> READY, SET, GO. >> James: OKAY. >> READY, SET, SWRZ ONE MINUTE,

LOOKING AT ME FOR, GET IN THE MUD. >> THAT IS THERE IS NO WAY TO
GET IN THE MUD. >> YOU HAVE BEEN IN L.A. TOO
LONG, IT IS LIKE A MUD BATH, LIKE A FACIAL. COME ON, COME ON. >> James: AAAHH. THAT IS DISGUSTING. AAAHH. >> COME ON, BIG GUY. >> James: WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. [BLEEP] THAT IS A JOKE. YOU ARE A JOKE, RIGHT, COME ON. HOW HAVE YOU GOT NO MUD ON YOU. >> BECAUSE I DID IT PROPERLY. >> James: THIS ARE MY BEST
CARGO PANTS. AAAHHH. >> I NEED A DRINK. >> James: IN THE-- SHUT UP. NO WAY. THAT IS IMPRESSIVE, THAT IS
RIDICULOUS. THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS. THAT COUNTS FOR BOTH OF US. >> ALL RIGHT, TAKE THEM UP TO

I-- WITHOUT THE LADDER. COME ON. COME ON. COME ON. COME ON.. >> YOU ARE ALL RIGHT, THAT WAS
QUITE FUN, I ENJOYED THAT, SAME TIME TOMORROW? >> James: NEVER AGAIN. PRINCE HARRY, EVERYBODY. BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO.
I think it’s quite telling that Harry doesn’t have a problem with the Crown the way some of the other royals seem to. He’s able to see it for what it is—a story loosely based on real events that depict the struggles of being in the royal family.
I’m also keeping in mind that Harry does have business dealings with Netflix and might not want to rock the boat—but from his previous statements against tabloids I think he would say something if he found the series insulting.
The obstacle course was the best part
Don’t think they’ll go that far into the future
Oh wow I found tea on the bus quite charming
Damian Lewis would have killed it , amazing actor .
My vote is to just dye Josh O’Connor’s hair ginger and film him constantly with the baby filter so we don’t have to say bye to him from the show
The Guardian ran a summary: Prince Harry defends Netflix's The Crown in James Corden interview
Interesting that the obstacle course was set up as a competition, but Harry instead turned it into a team sport and redefined the goal as them both finishing together.
thank you for posting i saw a promo for this and thought it be interesting, omg prince harry is the cutest little cinnamon roll
