Prince Harry has appeared on US television to talk about the World Cup, being interviewed by long-time pal, James Corden. James was hosting a show called After Hours on Fox, dedicated to post-World Cup match debriefs with celebrity guests. Did this special gig indicate James Corden's U-turn on his big UK move?

I get to go home, actually, this weekend because I had something I was already booked to do before this arrived, so ... it's okay, we're getting through it."
Trouble in paradise?

The family purchased a £11.5 million townhouse in the coveted North London area of Belsize Park, Hampstead, and ever since moving in, they have warred with locals. There has been back-and-forth with the council over new paving installed on James' property, and the size of their proposed extensions caused even more of an uproar locally, but the plans have been approve
