While the lucky guests at theroyal weddingwere taking in the beauty of the day,James Cordenwas focused on not letting a sneeze ruin a quiet moment.
The host reflected on his exciting weekend onThe Late Late Show, Monday, after being one of the 600 attendees to witnessPrince HarryandMeghan Markleexchange vows in person at St. George’s Chapel on Saturday. However, theornate flower arrangementsalmost led to Corden accidentally objecting to the couple’s marriage.
“The worst part of the ceremony for me was there was flowers everywhere, the most beautiful flowers you’ve ever seen. And I get quite bad allergies if I’m in such close proximity to flowers, so for a lot of the ceremony, I just needed to sneeze,” he explained. “Right at the point when the archbishop was saying, ‘If anyone knows of any reason…’ and I was like, ‘Please don’t sneeze. Please don’t sneeze.’ ”
Luckily, Corden was able to control his impulse.
“I had to do one of those internal sneezes,” he recalled. “I think I got away with it.”
The sniffles also may have contributed to Corden’s somber expression during the ceremony.
“In my defense, what face do you make whilst you’re watching a cellist in a church?” he asked while showing a photo of his grimace.
