Prince Harry dated Chelsy Davy, an entrepreneur, for five years until she ended things in 2009, and the Zimbabwean star has since gone onto marry and have two children with a hotelier
Prince Harry’s ex Chelsy Davy would “hated the Montecito madness” he now lives, an expert has today claimed.
The Duke of Sussex was in a relationship with the entrepreneur for five years between 2004 and 2009, until she ended things. He since quit royal duties for a new life in the US, opting to explore new ways to live his life and earn a trade.
But Chelsy, until recently, since lived in Chiswick, west London, and continued to forge her original careers in the jewellery and travel sectors. The 40-year-old woman told this week, though, how she and husband Sam Cutmore-Scott, a hotelier, are moving to an island in the Indian Ocean — from the trappings of celebrity.
In the wake of this, friends have reflected on how different Chelsy’s life would be now had she gone the distance with the Duke of Sussex, and he taken her to the US with his new vision in 2020 rather than Meghan Markle. Royal expert Ingrid Seward has also shared her opinion. Ingrid, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, said: “She would have hated it all, especially the Montecito madness that is now Harry’s life.”

Ingrid, also a royal biographer, stated Harry was “utterly head over heels for that girl” but the reason Chelsy, a Zimbabwean star, ended it was because she had “no ambition better herself” and marry into The Firm.
But Meghan did, having reached that decision less than two years after dating the Duke of Sussex. It was she whom moved to Montecito, California, with Harry, 41, in 2020 after his bombshell statement that he would step back from royal responsibilities.
Ingrid, 77, continued: “She (Chelsy) knew, as Cressida [Bonas, whom Harry dated from 2012 to 2014] did, that royal life just wasn’t for her. She was intelligent enough to see that from an early age.
“She wasn’t over-powered by ambition to better herself, or to marry into the Royal Family. At the end, she said to him: ‘There’s no way this is ever going to be my future.'”
And Chelsy met Sam several years after her relationship with the royal ended. Friends have told the Daily Mail the entrepreneur “has never been happier” as they prepare for their new life on the archipelago of Mauritius with their two children.
“It’s strange to think of the parallel life she would be living if she’d stayed with Harry. But that was a long, long time ago. That break-up was probably the best thing that ever happened to her,” one friend told the publication.
New photographs published with the interview this week, show Chelsy and Sam, also 40, exchanging vows on the beach and playing with their young ones. The interview states Chelsy’s brand, Aya Jewels, is also thriving with gold necklaces and diamond rings the most popular items.
