    The British beauty has spoken out about Kate Middleton and Prince William’s impending big day

    After landing a lead role in Harry Potter at the tender age of 11, actress, model and worldwide starlet Emma Watson knows a thing or two about living life in the spotlight.

    But even she has offered her sympathies to royal bride-to-be Kate Middleton, speaking out about the 'incredible pressure' the princess in waiting must be under, as she prepares to marry her prince.

    THE ROYAL WEDDING: ALL THE DETAILS

    Emma may have have millions in the bank, a role in one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and a career as a fledging fashionista, but earlier this year, the starlet announced she’s set to take a break from US university Brown, after struggling to juggle her school work and mounting career commitments.

    But Em has admitted even her packed schedule must pale into insignificance against Kate Middleton’s, as she prepares for the royal wedding on April 29.

    'Poor girl,' Emma told the Associated Press, offering her sympathies to the royal bride-to-be.

    Kate – who stepped out at her last official engagement before the ceremony earlier this week – has admitted to a few pre-wedding jitters, revealing she is worried about walking down the aisle in front of millions.

    Asked if she was nervous about the impending nuptials, Kate revealed: ‘Yes, of course I am.’
