Prince Harry and actress Emma Watson are secretly dating and the royal is already “smitten”, Women’s Day Magazine reported.

The romance apparently started shortly after Emma Watson broke up with her rugby player boyfriend Matthew Janney in late 2014.

Prince Harry, according to the report, reached out to Emma Watson via email saying he would “like to get to know her” on a night out.

The royal and the 24-year-old actress, along with a dozen other friends, hung out casually on their first “date.”

“Harry didn’t want her to feel like she was put on the spot,” a source told the magazine.

“A party also shows he’s fun and not stuffy.”
