The singer, 31, was filmed hugging pals as he donned shades and a sports anorak in the Hospitality area.
He then headed off to watch band Franz Ferdinand at Worthy Farm flanked with a group of mates.
An onlooker said: "Harry was saying how excited he was to be at the festival and was hoping to go as incognito as possible so he could enjoy the music.
"He was politely declining having photos taken with fans as he wanted to keep a low profile and not draw too much attention to himself.
"He is bound to bump into Louis this weekend and it would be a great moment to witness."
Down to earth Louis might be worth millions - but he's chosen to keep it real at Glastonbury by camping close to the toilets.
He and girlfriend Zara McDermott, who he started dating earlier this year, were spotted hanging outside his tent following her documentary talk at The Information.
An onlooker said: "Louis loves to be a man of the people and he loves camping at Glastonbury - even though he's got the cash to stay somewhere posh.
"Their tent is erected near the loos and they're with a big group of friends.
"He was knocking back cans of Red Bull with Zara as they hung out with their mates.
Fan stunned as she bumps into A-list pop megastar while grabbing a coffee in London - would you have spotted him?
"She gave a talk earlier at The Information on and Louis has joined her on site.
"They looked like they were having a ball together and Louis was really affectionate towards Zara and was making sure she had everything she needed.
"She was stroking his back and had a massive smile on her face."
The Love Island star turned BBC documentary maker was part of a serious panel with Refuge charity yesterday afternoon.
The talk, entitled How to Create Societal Change: Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls took place on the small Information stage.
An onlooker said : "Zara looked a bit nervous but kept smiling at Louis and he made sure he was in her eyeline and was beaming back at her.
"It was really sweet to watch, they certainly seem very smitten with each other."

Gary Lineker reopens war of words with the BBC, accusing it 'of having an agenda', before telling Glastonbury crowd 'Free Palestine'
Gary Lineker has reopened his feud with the BBC during an appearance on stage at Glastonbury - before calling out: 'Free Palestine.' The former England football captain, who signed off as Match Of The Day presenter after three decades last month, accused corporation chiefs of having 'lost their way'. Lineker, 64, quit his role as the BBC's best paid presenter a year ahead of schedule following his controversial sharing of an online post condemned as anti-Semitic. He has now suggested that people 'at the very top of the BBC' had 'an agenda', as he took part in a Q&A session at the music festival staged in Somerset this weekend. He was speaking during an on-stage conversation with Groove Armada DJ and farming advocate Andy Cato at the Glastonbury event on Saturday afternoon. Ex-England, Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona striker Lineker, when asked about the BBC for whom he worked for 30 years, said: 'I think they have lost their way a little bit. 'There are thousands of brilliant people at the BBC but at the moment I don't think that's reflected right at the very top.' He also told of some sympathy, however, for the corporation's highest-profile official, saying: 'I feel for Tim Davie, the director-general, because I believe there are people above him that have an agenda.' Lineker was questioned in the Glastonbury session about his increasingly outspoken views on politics, which have attracted criticism and questions about BBC impartiality. The broadcaster, who co-runs lucrative podcast brand Goalhanger, said: 'I did have a very big platform and thought, what's the point if you don't use it - if you don't push beliefs that you believe to be right? 'I don't really use Twitter any more because it's become a hateful place, which is a shame really because I used to enjoy it, but I will keep posting on Instagram, so more of the same.' Lineker finished the Q&A encounter by saying he 'wanted to see Kneecap', the Irish rappers whose appearance at Glastonbury has attracted controversy - including calls from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for the BBC not to show their performance. The ex-footballer noted, however, that his own Glastonbury appearance on-stage clashed with their scheduled gig elsewhere on the site. Before departing, Lineker told his audience: 'Free Palestine.' Lineker faced a backlash last month after sharing on Instagram to his 1.2million followers a video from the group Palestine Lobby, featuring an emoji of a rat - a symbol that has been used in Nazi propaganda as an anti-Jewish smear. The former football star later issued an 'unreserved apology', saying: 'I would never knowingly share anything antisemitic. It goes against everything I believe in. The post was removed as soon as I became aware of the issue. 'Whilst I strongly believe in the importance of speaking out on humanitarian issues, including the tragedy unfolding in Gaza, I also know that how we do so matters. 'I take full responsibility for this mistake. 'That image does not reflect my views. It was an error on my part for which I apologise unreservedly.' Lineker's representative had earlier said: 'Whilst viewing and reposting a video, Gary did not notice a rodent emoticon added by the author of the post. 'Although if he had, he would not have made any connection. The repost has been removed.' He had previously announced he would be leaving his Saturday night presenting role at the end of the season just finished. He was originally meant to stay with the corporation long enough to host coverage of the 2025-2026 FA Cup and next year's World Cup. But following the controversy over his Instagram post, he told how they had reached an agreement for him to depart entirely 12 months from the end of his contract. His departure also meant the end of the licensing deal for his Goalhanger podcasts, The Rest Is Football and The Rest Is History, now leaving BBC Sounds this year. Announcing his exit in a BBC statement, Lineker said: 'Football has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember – both on the pitch and in the studio. 'I care deeply about the game, and about the work I've done with the BBC over many years. 'As I've said, I would never consciously repost anything antisemitic – it goes against everything I stand for. 'However, I recognise the error and upset that I caused, and reiterate how sorry I am. Stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action.' The BBC's director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski emailed staff minutes later, saying: 'I appreciate the last week has been difficult and emotional for many of you. 'Thank you for all the messages and conversations, even if some of them weren't easy to have. 'It is sad to be saying goodbye to such a brilliant broadcaster and I also want to thank Gary for his years of service'. Lineker has previously faced controversy for his political interventions which critics claim are breaches of BBC impartiality rules. These included accusing the previous Conservative Government of using anti-migrant language reminiscent of the Nazis. The most recent BBC accounts show he was the corporation's best paid presenter for the seventh successive year, receiving up to £1.35million in 2023-2024.

Professor Green mysteriously pulls out of headline gig with just an HOUR's notice
Professor Green pulled out of a headline performance at the last minute on Saturday night, leaving fans at a Cheshire festival stunned and disappointed. The rapper, real name Stephen Manderson, was due to take the stage at the Chester 7s Party at the Park in Northwich, but pulled the plug just an hour before he was set to perform. Organisers were reportedly informed that the Read All About It star wouldn't be attending due to illness, as they waited for him to arrive at the venue. Posting a last-minute announcement on social media, Chester 7s said: 'Due to unforeseen circumstances Professor Green is unable to perform at Chester 7s tonight. 'Whilst circumstances such as these are outside of our control, we apologise to all our amazing players, officials and guests and thank you for making Chester 7s 2025 an amazing experience for everyone.' The sudden cancellation sparked confusion among festivalgoers, with many expressing frustration online after looking forward to the headlining set. MailOnline has reached out to Professor Green's representatives for comment. Professor Green has remained silent on the no-show, with no updates posted to his social media accounts. Just two days before however, he made a special guest appearance with alternative rap artist Native James during Thursday's Glastonbury festival. Fans took to social media to vent their frustration writing: 'Disappointing @professorgreen didn't show up to Chester 7s event last night with 10 minutes notice. Do better when people paid alot of money for this event! You let alot of people down!' '@professorgreen you massive let down!! not impressed' Former rugby star turned DJ, James Haskell stepped in to save the day at Chester 7s, entertaining the crowd with a two-hour DJ set after the news broke. Chester 7s is one of the UK's top sports and music festivals, attracting thousands each year with its mix of live entertainment and rugby action. Professor Green, known for chart-toppers like I Need You Tonight and Just Be Good to Green, had been billed as the main act for the evening. Fans took to social media to vent their frustration calling him 'disappointing' and 'a let down' Pro Green has made no secret of his health battles. Earlier this year he revealed he was born with Pyloric Stenosis. The condition affects babies between birth and six months of age when the passage between the stomach and small bowel becomes narrower. It very rarely occurs in adults and may develop due to an attributable cause. The musician revealed that his recurring dysbiosis - unbalanced bacteria that irritates the stomach - had worsened the condition. Just two months he revealed he caught roseola from his baby boy Slimane - after managing to avoid the virus throughout his own childhood. Sharing a snap of himself in bed recovering from the common viral infection, he told his followers: 'The one adult who didn't get Roseola as a kid obviously had to have a son who did and now...' Roseola - also known as exanthem subitum or sixth disease - is a common viral infection that primarily affects young children. Symptoms typically include a sudden high fever, followed by a rash as the fever subsides. Though uncomfortable, the illness is usually mild and resolves within a week. In March 2021, the rapper welcomed his first child with girlfriend Karima McAdams. Announcing the news on Instagram, he shared that his partner, 40, had given birth to their son, Slimane Ray Manderson, two weeks early. In a lengthy caption alongside the shot of his newborn son's head, he also detailed their difficult pregnancy, which he branded 'a rollercoaster' and confessed during 'scare after scare' they feared their baby 'would not make it'. Following his post, he was swiftly congratulated by his 865,000 Instagram followers, with many of his celebrity pals sending well-wishes.
