Dear Gossips
I posted yesterday in this space about the hottest show of the week – a live reality docuseries which, in the end, lasted just two episodes, or four if you count each round of voting. The conclave attracted a large audience around the world and also in person outside the Vatican, including at least one celebrity: Harry Styles, allegedly.
Harry, or pretend Harry, was spotted in the crowd on Thursday in a photo posted to social media. If this isn’t AI it definitely looks like him:
How did Harry Styles end up outside the Vatican on this historic occasion? It’s actually not that uncommon to see Harry in Rome. He spent several weeks in Rome last summer – seen jogging, grocery shopping, hanging out at the pub…
@nssmagazine Harry Styles seems to be fully embracing a normal Italian lifestyle in Rome, from grocery shopping at Coop to exploroing second hand at Porta Portese. Rumors suggest he has even purchased a home in the city center!👀 🎥 @PAPU💎 @valeria :) @californiasunlouis #harrystyles #harrystylesrome #roma #rome #harrystylesvids #italianlife #italia #italy #coop #portaportese #fashion #music

…and there was speculation that he’d bought a home there. And if he did, it would explain how he ended up at the conclave and present for the moment the new pope was confirmed. The pope’s brother, by the way, did an interview yesterday following the news and confirmed that he did indeed watch Conclave, the movie, which I mentioned yesterday after it was reported that cardinals were doing their protocol homework by watching the film, and also he does Wordle every day. Just like us!

Here's Harry last week in Berlin.
Yours in gossip,
