Prince Harry's takedown of James Corden that left David Beckham building bridges

Prince Harry once took a cheeky swipe at his pal James Corden, which reportedly left David Beckham forced to play peacemaker between the pair, according to reports. Gavin and Stacey star, James, 46, has been friends with the Duke of Sussex, 40, and David, 49, for years after shooting to fame in the UK and then across the pond in Los Angeles.
Back in 2011, David and Prince Harry are said to have held a get-together at a private members club in London for their pals, in what is reported to have been billed as a "pre-Christmas boys' p**s up". James was starring in the award-winning One Man, Two Guvnors in the West End at the time and so arrived several hours after the party had begun - with all attendees in high spirits.
Upon the Fat Friends' star's arrival, Harry is said to have made a jibe at the actor, which - according to the Mail - reportedly left James fuming. A source told the outlet - which has chosen not to reveal what the Royal said - : "There was rapture when he arrived. He was a much-loved part of the group and there were hugs and giggles.
"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.".
The source claims that father-of-four David tried to build bridges after the skirmish, saying: "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.".
