Harry Styles has been seen mingling with the masses in Vatican City during the announcement of Pope Leo XIV as the new pontiff, following the death of Pope Francis.

As white smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel signalling the conclave's decision, thousands of people filled St Peter's Square to witness the first appearance of the newly elected Pope.

‌

Amongst the large crowds of people was the One Direction star, who was captured on camera in a disguise, wearing sunglasses and a baseball hat embroidered with the words "Techno is My Boyfriend".

‌

The photograph of the As It Was singer was shared by the pop culture X account @popcrave, the Mirror reports.

Fans were quick to take to social media to discuss the sighting, with many making jokes referring to his last album being released three years ago. One wrote: "He'll do anything except get in the studio", and another penned: "Doing everything but recording."

While one X user, stated: "He’s so unhinged, I cannot love him enough but darling I need new music please."

Another jokingly added: "Harry Styles is so random, one day he's at the Grammys winning album of the year, then he's running a marathon in Japan, but he could also be in Rome waiting for the announcement of the new pope, I love being his fan."

Harry has spoken about his views on religion over the years.

‌

In a 2010 tweet, he shared that he had been christened but was "not really that religious."

Later, during a 2016 interview with Chelsea Handler, the Sign of the Times singer described himself as "more spiritual than religious." He elaborated: "I’m not super tied-in to certain rules but I think it’s naïve to say nothing exists and there’s nothing above us or more powerful than us. I think that’s a little narrow-minded."

‌

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, has made history as the first American to be elected pontiff.

The 69-year-old, who hails from Chicago, addressed the cheering crowd from the balcony, saying: "Peace be with all of you. Brothers and sisters dearest, this is the first greeting of Christ resurrected. I would like to offer a greeting of peace to reach your families, all of you, wherever you are. May peace be with you."

His predecessor, Pope Francis, passed away at the age of 88 on April 21st, Easter Monday. His final public appearance took place the day before, on Easter Sunday.
