Prince Harry Had High Tea With James Corden – And These Are The Secrets He Didn’t Tell Oprah
After Megxit, Prince Harry and Meghan did that explosive interview with Oprah in March 2021. But around the same time Harry actually featured in another, much more casual one with James Corden. And during it we learned a whole lot of interesting – and sometimes pretty funny – things about his and Meghan’s everyday lives since stepping away from duties as active members of the royal family.
When Harry joined Corden on a passenger tour vehicle, he revealed something that to most people might seem quite surprising. Turned out, it was the first time he’d ever been on an open-top bus, because usually he “wasn’t really allowed.” He remembered, “When I was in London I would see them cruising around with tourists. I was like: You know, that would be really good fun.”
Are members of the royal family really not allowed to ride in open-top buses? ‘Fraid so. Those tasked with protecting them regard it as just too big a risk for people who tend to receive a lot of death threats. It’s not just the royals, American presidents stopped driving in open-top cars after the Kennedy assassination in 1963.
While riding around Los Angeles, Corden asked Harry, “So when did you know that Meghan was the one?” No later than the second date, it turned out. Harry said, “It wasn’t so much where we went, it was just the way that we hit it off with each other and we were so comfortable in each other’s company.”
According to the 2020 book Finding Freedom by Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie, Harry and Meghan had both their first and second dates at The Dean Street Townhouse in Soho. And things moved just as fast as Harry remembered. After only three months of dating they’d exchanged their first declarations of love.
