She has been charged with stalking involving serious alarm and distress after the incident in the Borough of Barnet.
This had a “substantial adverse effect on his usual day-to-day activities when you knew or ought to have known that your course of conduct would cause alarm or distress” according to the charge.
Carvalho was staying at a hostel in Earls Court, west London at the time, according to court documents.
She had entered the UK on a three month visitors visa in mid December.
Alejandra Toscon, prosecuting, told the court that the stalking charge related to the “writing of cards online which were then sent to the complainant via a third party” and the “Posting of handwritten letters”.
She appeared in court today on a video link from HMP Bronzefield wearing a black puffer jacket and spoke to confirm her name. She was not asked to enter a plea.
Judge Karim Ezzat remanded Carvalho in custody until the next hearing on April 19.
Insiders said Harry had only recently returned from a holiday in the Caribbean when the incident occurred.
A source previously told The Sun: “Harry was really shaken up.
“He had spent the start of the month in Anguilla on holiday and he’d had a great break. This happened not long after he had come back to London.

“Harry just wants to carry on as normal but naturally this has been concerning for him, his family and his team.”
The star, who turns 30 next week, previously spoke of being left “scared” and having to upgrade his security after Diana Tarazago-Orero forced her way into his north London home.
He had met the stalker at a bus stop and offered to help her, believing she was homeless.
But Tarazago, 29, subsequently camped outside his house and once tried to grab him while he was jogging.
She was convicted of stalking the One Direction star in 2019 but later admitted breaching the restraining order when she forced entry into his home in a terrifying incident in 2022.
At a court hearing, it was revealed that Harry employs a night guard, locks his bedroom door at night and assesses his home for weak spots following the nightmare.
The singer has previously told a court of the fear caused by stalker Tarazago-Orero: “I saw him incredibly often. Almost every day. I could feel him watching me. It made me feel incredibly uncomfortable.
“Up until that point I had never felt unsafe or uneasy at my own house. I’d never encountered this kind of behaviour before.”
