  • Prince Harry appeared on After Hours with James Corden following the World Cup final
  • During their chat, the Duke of Sussex interrupted his fellow Brit with shock when Corden referred to “soccer” instead of football
  • “We’re in the United States, baby!” Corden fired back

Prince Harry may live in California, but he’s sticking with some British words.

The Duke of Sussex, 41, joined After Hours with James Corden following the World Cup final on Sunday, July 19, recapping all the action in Spain’s thrilling victory over Argentina.

At one point, the conversation turned to Harry’s sporting history. Corden, 47, wondered if the prince ever played soccer as a boy.

“I always thought that you went to a school that was too posh for soccer,” the host teased.

“Too posh to play football,” he corrected. “Why are you calling it soccer?”

“Because we’re in the United States, baby!” Corden fired back.

Prince Harry admitted that while he did play, it wasn’t exactly his sport.

“You know what, in prep school, I was in the first team. And then I went to the bigger school, and I ended up in the E team,” he recalled. “A team, down to the E team. So that didn’t feel very good.”

It was clear that Harry was still keeping up with the sport, though, chatting with Corden and legendary English defender Rio Ferdinand about England’s crushing last-minute loss to Argentina in the World Cup semifinal. England led 1-0 until the last five minutes of the match, when the Argentinians shocked them with back-to-back goals, leading to the Three Lions’ elimination instead of their first World Cup final since 1966.

“I think it’s a mindset,” Harry said of the loss. “I think that what we saw was a slight shock value for the team.”

“‘We’re 1-nil up against Argentina, and then there was this immediate temptation to fall into defense…I don’t think that was the plan. It just happened. And you can’t, in 75 minutes, however long it was, try to defend a 1-0 lead against a team like that,” he added.

“You need to come on my podcast and do this with me,” Ferdinand replied.

During his chat with Corden, the Duke of Sussex also weighed in on an ongoing After Hours debate: the definitive ranking of the U.K.’s best Harrys.

Despite protesting that he had a “conflict of interest,” Prince Harry played along, agreeing with Corden and his co-hosts that the top spot went to Harry Styles.

“Great shout!” praised Corden, a longtime pal of the former One Direction singer.

Next came Harry Kane, despite the fact that England’s star striker ultimately failed to advance his team to the World Cup championship. Finally, the prince settled for a tie for third with Harry Potter.

“And we’ll have a Quidditch off,” he joked, to a round of applause.
