Harry Styles ‘grows close to friend and The Crown’s rising star Emma Corrin’

Harry Styles has reportedly formed a “close friendship” with rising star Emma Corrin.

The former One Direction heartthrob is rumoured to have gotten close to the actress as she is set to hit the height of stardom with her role as Princess Diana in The Crown.

She has been a huge fan of the ex-boy band and she was introduced to Harry last year when she went to one of his gigs.

It seems the pair have formed an unlikely bond after she went to him for advice ahead of her debut on the hit Netflix drama.

They also share a lot of mutual friends.

A source told The Sun : “There’s nothing romantic between Harry and Emma but they became friends because they know loads of the same people.

“She is expecting her life to change dramatically when The Crown airs, because suddenly everyone will be interested in who she is, so it’s nice to have pals like Harry who know how to deal with fame.

“As well as having mutual friends, she has the same stylist as Harry, so it’s quite a nice link between them.”

It’s claimed the pair are both “very private” so no one realises the pair are actually good pals.

Emma will become famous overnight in November as she’ll play Princess Diana on the big screen for season four of The Crown.

Her part as Princess Diana has been a huge talking point of the excitement surrounding the upcoming series.

Harry is chilling out during lockdown as he takes time out of his solo singing career following the success of his album Fine Line.

It’s reported the star will tour next year if restrictions on concerts are eased amid the coronavirus pandemic.

His former bandmate Liam Payne has just got engaged to fiancée Maya Henry.

Harry remains single.

He has not had a serious relationship since splitting from Camille Rowe in 2018.

Mirror Online has contacted Harry Styles’ representative for comment.
