"WORLD Remember that little talk we had about not believing everything written in the media?!" the “Beauty and the Beast” star wrote on Twitter. “Also..... marrying a Prince not a prerequisite for being a Princess.” She also posted a link to a clip from Alfonso Cuaron’s 1995 film, “A Little Princess,” that comes with a tagline “All Girls Are Princesses.”

Women’s Daily claimed that Prince Harry messaged the actress after her split from her British rugby player boyfriend, Matthew Janney. The rumoured duo went out with 12 other friends and according to the publication, the two hit it off instantly as the royal was smitten by the “Harry Potter” alum.
