James became friendly with Harry and Meghan after moving to the States, revealing an interview last year that their kids are also close.

Speaking to The Sun, James revealed he and his family had had ‘a sort of play date scenario [with the kids],’ art Meghan and Harry’s ‘then we went out for dinner after, it was lovely.’

James and Julia are parents to children Max, 11, Carey, eight, and Charlotte, four, while Prince Harry and Meghan share Archie, four, and Lilibet, 21 months.

Harry previously appeared as a guest on The Late Late Show shortly after he moved to Los Angeles with Meghan.

Adding that he knows Harry better than Meghan, James said he finds it hard to be ‘judgemental’ of the pair, seemingly referring to their decision to step down as senior members of the royal family and move to the US.

He said: ‘I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for Harry, and anyone who has been around him and spent time with him would feel exactly the same way.

‘I think he is a devoted and loving husband and father and I think what they have done [in turning away from royal life] is incredibly brave and I’ll always be in their corner.’

James’ visit back stateside comes after he sold his lavish Brentwood property for $17.1million (£13.6million), according to reports by The Messenger.

 It entered the public market at $22million (£17.5million) in February after James and his wife Julia made it available to qualified buyers in October 2022, according to reports .

The married couple, who tied the knot in 2012, originally bought the New England-style property for $9.7million (£8.1million) back in 2017.

The actor and presenter, 44, joined Zoe Ball on Radio 2 on the eve of the last show in the US where he opened up on how he was feeling about wrapping on the programme that’s been a huge part of his life for so many years.

He explained: ‘It’s a strange one, I haven’t really felt like this before. I remember when we did last episode of Gavin and Stacey, I remember sitting with Ruth Jones and crying, but that was done in blocks, we’d film it, go off and then come again.

‘But the Late Late show has been a pretty consistent, it’s been 8 years, tomorrow will be 1,200th show – crazy!’

The TV personality went on to share the pivotal catalyst behind his decision to leave before admitting that he didn’t want to spend the day sobbing about the end but to instead take the time to ‘cherish’ the journey he’d been on.

He said: ‘I feel good about it, I just know in my core its right thing to do for so many personal and professional reasons.’

‘There are people who are getting older in Britain, and we want [our kids]  to experience spending time together.’
