Prince Harry once made a cheeky jibe at his mate James Corden, leading to David Beckham stepping in as peacemaker between the two.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, and Gavin and Stacey star James, 46, have been pals for years, along with David, 49, after all finding fame both in the UK and stateside.
Back in 2011, it’s said that Harry and David hosted a “pre-Christmas boys’ p**s up” at a private members club in London. James, who was starring in the West End hit One Man, Two Guvnors at the time, arrived late to the party, which was already in full swing.
Upon his arrival, Harry reportedly made a joke at James’ expense, which according to the Mail, left the actor fuming, the Mirror reports.
A source told the outlet: “There was rapture when he arrived. He was a much-loved part of the group and there were hugs and giggles.”
They added: “The group was pretty large. There were some of Harry’s friends, some of James’ friends and some of David’s gang and they all intertwined. Then it all kicked off, James was furious. It quickly emerged that Harry had told a joke and James definitely did not find it funny.”
According to a source, David, a father of four, attempted to mend fences after the altercation, stating: “It fell to David to smooth things over. He is loved by everyone, I mean, who wouldn’t want to do as they were asked by a legend like him?
“He did a great job and managed to talk everyone round. Eventually, James calmed down and the night carried on.”
Years later, the Duke of Sussex is now married to Megan Markle and they have welcomed their son Archie and daughter Lilibet together. The couple relocated to L.A shortly opting to renounce their royal titles.
They were recently spotted in California, offering solace to those affected by the Los Angeles fires as they embraced victims who have lost their homes in the disaster.
Living in Montecito, just 60 miles from the Malibu fires, the Duke and Duchess are at high risk.
In a statement, the couple said: “In the last few days, wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighbourhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centres, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life. A state of emergency has been issued. If you feel compelled to help, here are some resources and ideas.”
They went on to say: “If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do. And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbours to see if they need help evacuating. Some families and people have been left with nothing.
“Please consider donating clothing, children’s toys and clothing, and other essentials. The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.”
