Prince Harry goes on a tour of L.A. with James Corden, rapping The Fresh Prince theme and discussing leaving the Royal family for his mental health

HuffPost

The Late Late Show aired a 17-minute segment that Corden and Prince Harry shot aboard a double-decker bus earlier this month. Although one report claimed they filmed "Carpool Karaoke," the rapping of The Fresh Prince song was the extent of their singing. Corden gave Harry a tour that included Bruce Willis' and David Schwimmer's house, as well as the mansion used in Fresh Prince. They even talked with Harry's wife Meghan Markle over Facetime. Harry also opened up about leaving the Royal family last year. “It was stepping back rather than stepping down,” Harry said. “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. I was like, ‘This is toxic.’ So I did what any husband and what any father would do and was like, ‘I need to get my family out of here.’” The segment is the first of two CBS appearances for Prince Harry in the next 10 days. He and Markle will sit down win Oprah Winfrey for a CBS special on March 7.

• Prince Harry also weighed in on The Crown, saying he'd love Damian Lewis to play him: "They don’t pretend to be news. It’s fictional, but it’s loosely based on the truth," says Harry, who has a development deal with The Crown streamer Netflix with wife Meghan Markle. "Of course, it’s not strictly accurate.” He added: “It gives you a rough idea of what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that. I’m way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family, or my wife, or myself. It’s the difference between… that is obviously fiction, take it how you will, but this is being reported on as fact because you’re supposedly news. I have a real issue with that.”
