Carole Radziwill Breaks Silence on Viral Harry Styles Wedding Photo: ‘He Was a Prince’

The former ‘Real Housewives’ star is finally sharing the backstory of the iconic photo.

Real Housewives alum Carole Radziwill is breaking her silence after a photo of her and Harry Styles at a wedding went viral online.

Radziwill, 62, appeared on the Reality Checked podcast on Tuesday, Sept. 16, where she told the story behind the iconic photo, which was taken at Charles Porch and Robert Denning‘s star-studded wedding on Sept. 1.

In the photo, Radziwill is seen linking arms with Styles, 31, as they climb a flight of stairs.

“Harry came over. He’s really actually such a lovely person, and if I didn’t know he was going to be at the wedding… I don’t know if I would’ve recognized him,” she said. “He was lovely and he said, ‘How can I help you?’… I was like, ‘You know, take my arm.’ And he did. And it was really sweet.”

Radziwill referred to the incident as a “fairytale” moment, saying, “He was my prince.”

In the original post, which was shared by wedding guest Cassandra Grey, the caption reveals more details of how Styles came to Radziwill’s rescue.

“I saw @caroleradziwill struggling to get her rather large @giambattistavalliparis dress up the grand stairwell. Naturally and quickly, I managed to get my iPhone out of my dinner clutch to document what could have been fashion Parisian castle roadkill,” Grey wrote. “Then a stranger to Carole and I, a handsome @harrystyles, seemingly out of nowhere, graciously lent her his arm like Cinderella’s prince.”

Grey, who shared the photo during a flight, has said her phone “was blowing up” and “went nuclear” after she posted the pair together.

Despite romance rumors circulating between the two, Styles has recently been linked to Zoë Kravitz, with the pair being spotted together on several occasions across Europe as the actress promotes her new film Caught Stealing.
