Thanks to rumors circulated by an Australian women's magazine around Valentine's Day, world history can now record that there was a brief, shining moment in which we could envision Prince Harry and Emma Watson dating.
This was scary for some and incredible news for others. But former "Harry Potter" star Watson waved her wand on Twitter over the weekend and appears to have quashed all of our royal hopes and dreams.
As she noted in a later tweet, she can consider herself royal no matter who she dates:
She linked to a scene from Alfonso Cuarón's 1995 film "A Little Princess," in which the young heroine reminds her tormentor that "I am a princess. All girls are."
Hear, hear!
Representatives from Buckingham Palace have not yet responded to the rumors, noted People.
