Fans Reckon They Spotted Harry Styles In The Vatican As The New Pope Was Unveiled And... Sorry, What?!

Harry Styles and Pope Leo XIVIt’s probably just the post-Conclave effect, but does anyone else feel like the buzz around the electing of the new Pope has been on steroids this time around?As well as the usual near-constant updates on the TV and online news outlets, the Conclave-adjacent memes have been coming in thick and fast over the last few days, with stan accounts like @PopeCrave even being set up on social media to keep everyone up to speed with the latest goings on in the Vatican.But one thing we weren’t expecting was for even pop superstar Harry Styles to get in on the fun.On Thursday, when Pope Leo XIV was unveiled as the new leader of the Catholic church, a figure who looked suspiciously like the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter was snapped watching the historic moment in St. Peter’s Square.The moustachioed singer was caught on camera sporting dark sunglasses and a navy blue cap, as well as a baseball cap emblazoned with the message: “Techno is my boyfriend.”papa’nın ilanını San Pietro meydanında izlerken yanımdan Harry Styles geçti göz göze geldik hemen fotoğrafladım bu anıyı what a day ya pic.twitter.com/XhkyaY3UYR— niss (@NisaKanat18) May 8, 2025Harry Styles spotted in Rome for the new Pope announcement. pic.twitter.com/LqERgA7FNL— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) May 8, 2025harry styles is so random, one day he's at the grammys winning album of the year, then he's running a marathon in japan, but he could also be in rome waiting for the announcement of the new pope, i love being his fan pic.twitter.com/fIRlOfvuFJ— anna bea (@axlsugar) May 8, 2025harry really lives the never let them know ur next move life cuz wdym he was at the saint peter’s basilica in rome watching the new pope being announced … 😭 pic.twitter.com/zRQytvRoDk— ☆ (@harrysangelsue) May 8, 2025little did the pope know he was waving to harry styles😭 https://t.co/7pm5XMlmoi— 🕯️hs4 🕯️ (@stacheharry) May 8, 2025Naturally, the hat in question has now sold out from the online retailer Idea.HuffPost UK has contacted Harry Styles’ team for clarification about his supposed visit to the Vatican.If reports are to be believed, though, Harry has been spending a lot of time in mainland Europe lately, while he works on his fourth album, the follow-up to 2022’s Harry’s House.Last month, The Sun reported that the former One Direction singer was following in the footsteps of David Bowie and had been working on new music in Berlin.Prior to that, one fan in the German capital reported that the chart-topper had stepped in to cover her taxi fare after she ran out of Euros, while pictures of him allegedly checking into a Berlin hotel while sporting some very short shorts also generated a lot of conversation on social media.READ MORE:This Is Why Harry Styles Was 'Devastated' By This SNL Comedian's Impersonation Of HimJade Thirlwall Opens Up About Being Ghosted By Harry Styles During Their X Factor DaysSimon Cowell Claims Harry Styles Got In Touch After His Comments About One Direction Upset Many Fans
