Harry Styles spotted in crowd at the Vatican for new Pope announcement

Harry Styles has been spotted among the crowds in the Vatican City this week to witness the election of the new Pope.

In a photograph that has gone viral online, the former One Direction star appears to have been captured among the thousands in attendance in Saint Peter’s Square on Thursday (May 8) for the moment when Pope Leo XIV was unveiled as the successor to the late Pope Francis.

The photo shows Styles wearing sunglasses and a grey baseball cap with the slogan: “Techno is my boyfriend”. His attendance at the historic event was later confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter.
