Taylor’s outing comes just days after she was spotted strolling through Harry’s beloved Hampstead last week.
It was reported that she had split from singer Watermelon Sugar, also 30, in May after a year, but this has never been confirmed.
It is not known whether the two are back together. In May it was already thought that they had split after a decisive vacation and they have not been seen together since.
Harry and Taylor were last seen together in public on bicycles during a trip to Tokyo, Japan, in April.
Directed by Luca Guadagnino and based on the semi-autobiographical novella by William Burroughs, Queer stars Daniel Craig as American expat and war veteran William Lee, who is romantically involved with a younger man, Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey), a drug addict and discharged naval officer.
Early reviews indicate that moviegoers will be shocked by the explicit nature of some key moments in the film.
One scene that has been talked about a lot is the one where Daniel has oral sex with Allerton.
Venice Film Festival president Alberto Barbera said he thinks Daniel has given “the best performance of his life” in Queer, and he would be surprised if we don’t see the British actor at next year’s Academy Awards.

It would be Craig’s first Oscar nomination ever.
The 81st Venice International Film Festival is organized by La Biennale di Venezia and takes place at the Lido di Venezia from August 28 to September 7.
Sigourney Weaver will receive the prestigious Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement Award during the festival.
In the film, Allerton initially rejects Lee’s advances, but eventually gives in.
A source told the Ny Breaking that it was ‘a far cry from Bond and very explicit. Craig is brilliant in the film.’
Venice Film Festival president Alberto Barbera said he thinks Daniel has given “the best performance of his life” in Queer, and he would be surprised if we don’t see the British actor at next year’s Academy Awards.
Barbera told a reporter that Daniel “had a couple of sex scenes that were pretty intense.”
In an interview, Guadagnino said: ‘Queer will be my most personal film. It’s an homage to Powell and Pressburger.
“I’ve seen The Red Shoes at least 50 times and I think they would appreciate the sex scenes in Queer. They’re numerous and quite scandalous.”
It is not known whether the couple are back together, after they were believed to have split in May following a ‘make or break’ holiday and have not been spotted together since.

The novella was written between 1951 and 1953, but not published until 1985. Much of it was written after the death of Burroughs’ wife, Joan Vollmer, whom he shot in the head during a drinking party in Mexico City.
Their four-year-old son was in the room at the time. Burroughs said he tried to shoot a glass off her head, William Tell-style, but later changed his story and said the weapon misfired.
He was convicted in absentia of manslaughter after fleeing to the US.
Nowadays, Daniel lives mainly in New York with actress Rachel and their young daughter.
