During an appearance on the Fast and Curious podcast, Albon told the hosts to refer to Russell as 'Princess George' and chastised him for standing him up in Monaco.

Russell laughed then joked: "I've text Alex on numerous occasions to make plans, and he just pies me off all the time, especially when his girlfriend Lily is around. He's one of those that wouldn't get back to you in weeks, and then the girlfriend leaves, he's like 'hey mate, you fancy a coffee?' So I'm like 'oh, now you want me!' So I just presumed he wouldn't be around."

It's all good fun.
