When Harry Styles escorted an older woman arm-in-arm to a society wedding in Paris last year, the singer was praised for his gentlemanly conduct by fans, RadarOnline.comcan reveal.
Now the 31-year-old finds himself unwittingly close to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Socialite With Questionable Connections
Styles was seen linking arms with Carole Radziwill.
For the lady whom Styles chivalrously gave a helping arm to as she struggled up the stairs was journalist and socialite Carole Radziwill, 62, Ghislaine Maxwell’s “best friend.”
They were both attending the wedding of Instagram exec Charles Porch and philanthropist Robert Denning.
The pair was snapped in a photo shared online by beauty mogul Cassandra Grey, who captioned it: “Then a stranger to Carole and I, a handsome @harrystyles, seemingly out of nowhere, graciously lent her his arm like Cinderella’s prince,’ she wrote in the caption of her post, which included various photos from the wedding.”
Radziwill is not just incarcerated Maxwell’s closest chum, but was also set up on lunch dates with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the disgraced prince.

While Radziwill has played down her relationship with Maxwell, saying they’ve not had a connection in years, it’s clear from exchanges they were once bosom buddies.
