Having already grown up with her as Harry Potter's Hermione, Emma Watson is already considered by many America's to be British royalty, so it makes sense that she might one day truly find herself a bona fide English princess. According to the latest gossip news updates, baby Prince George's Special Forces uncle, Prince Harry, is doing his best to make the UN feminist his new girlfriend following their top secret dating. Emma has already seemingly weighted in on the legitimacy of the rumor on Twitter, but at least the story that Dan Stevens joined Disney's live action movie remake of Beauty and the Beast is real.
Being that she was a part of the world famous Harry Potter movie franchise, Emma Watson has obviously been on Prince Harry's radar for years, but now Diana's youngest is said to be trying to make the British sex-symbol more than just a casual acquaintance.
A source close to the action revealed in the March 16, issue of OK! Magazine that once Harry realized what he wanted he wasted little time reaching out to Emma:
"They'd met each other before at events but never had more than just a casual conversation.
"[But] they have mutual friends, so it was easy to connect...He got her email and reached out to say he'd like to get to know her better."
According to the informant, it took no time at all for the Duke of York to quickly fall head-over-heels for the UN ambassador/actress:
"Harry always thought Emma was beautiful, but once they got to talking, he was suprised to discover how much they have in common.
"He likes that she is an activist like he is. And they've connected over what it's like to live in the public eye.
"He's trying to keep it casual, but he's totally smitten."
As much as fans of the both Harry and Emma might like to see them get together in the future, Emma already put the Twitter kibosh on the this rumor when Australia's Women's Day broke the story a couple of weeks ago:
WORLD ♥ Remember that little talk we had about not believing everything written in the media?!
