James Corden has said Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle was "one of the most beautiful ceremonies" he's ever attended, but he did struggle with one thing on the day – his allergies! The comedian revealed he almost ruined his friend's ceremony, by fighting off a sneezing fit throughout the service. On The Late Late Show, the presenter said: "Here's the thing, the worst part of the ceremony for me was there was flowers everywhere, the most beautiful flowers you've ever seen. I get quite bad allergies if I'm in close proximity to flowers so for a lot of the ceremony I just needed to sneeze."
He continued: "Right at the point when the Archbishop was saying, 'If anyone knows of any reason that these two should not be married...' I was thinking, 'Please don't sneeze, please don't sneeze,' and I had to do one of those internal sneezes." "I think I got away with it," James laughed, doing an impression of his internal sneezing fit.

The Uxbridge-born presenter, who attended the royal wedding with his wife Julia, dished more details about his friend Harry's wedding, saying it was "the most wonderful and inclusive service. I was proud to be British."
James, who acted as a compere at the reception, added: "It was gorgeous, the whole affair. It was happy, it was joyous, it was uplifting. It was Britain at its finest, a picture-perfect day, Windsor Castle, six hundred guests, 30,000 flowers or as Elton John calls it, a Thursday. He was there, he performed some songs in the afternoon which was wonderful."
