Escalation at party: Prince Harry makes presenter angry - David Beckham has to mediate!
London/England - The plan was for a happy party evening, but Prince Harry (40) upset James Corden (46) so much with a joke that David Beckham (49) had to intervene to keep the peace!
The prince and the British presenter have been close for over ten years, but their friendship has not always gone smoothly.
As the Daily Mail reported, the Duke of Sussex organized a "pre-Christmas booze cruise" through London in 2011.
Numerous celebrity friends took part, including David Beckham.
The now 46-year-old joined the boisterous group later, as he had previously been on stage in a theater performance.
But as soon as he arrived, the already buzzed Harry allegedly made a "joke" about Corden's appearance.
James Corden was a guest at Prince Harry's wedding
Corden is said to have been "completely beside himself" as a result. However, it remains unclear exactly what remark the now 40-year-old made.
A source revealed: "James was furious. It soon emerged that Harry had told a joke that James definitely didn't find funny."
David Beckham acted quickly and realized that he had to intervene as a mediator. He spoke to both sides and reassured Corden that the joke was not meant to be malicious.
The tense atmosphere quickly subsided and a reconciliation was reached. Harry and James remain close friends to this day.
In 2018, the 46-year-old was even invited as a guest to the wedding of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle (43).
