James - who is currently proving a massive hit on the other side of the pond as the host of ‘The Late Late Show’ - looked dapper in a navy blue suit and matching tie at the Palace, as he was presented with the honour by Princess Anne.

Speaking after the investiture, James said: “It's overwhelming to come back from Los Angeles and then be stood in Buckingham Palace receiving such a thing. I feel very undeserved but grateful nonetheless.”

He then went on to joke that the Royals would be welcome to join him on ‘The Late Late Show’, saying: “I can absolutely say that any member of the royal family, should they wish to, the invitation will always be there to do a Carpool Karaoke.”

“I don't imagine they'll take me up on it, but should they ever wish they are all welcome, yes.”
