Prince Harry’s necklace, which he claims was torn by Prince William during a physical altercation in 2019, is believed to have been a present from his ex-girlfriend, Chelsea Davy.
Over the past decade, Harry has been spotted wearing the same necklace—a silver pendant on a leather string.
Previous reports suggest that it was indeed a gift from Chelsea.
The two met while attending school in London and had an on-and-off relationship for six years starting in 2004 when Harry traveled to Zimbabwe during his gap year.
Towards the end of that year, the Duke began wearing the necklace, and in November, he was photographed at a rugby match sporting the leather pendant around his neck.
He continued to wear it throughout their relationship and even after their split in 2011.
In March 2012, the necklace accidentally fell out of his shirt while he was playing rugby during his tour of Brazil.
Despite this mishap, Harry still wears the pendant, and the leather cord is often visible when he opts for an open collar during engagements.
In 2021, the Duke added a new pendant to the leather cord, which featured the letter “A.”
It is believed that this addition was a tribute to his son, Archie.
Interestingly, Harry can be seen wearing the damaged necklace on the cover of Spare.
This raises questions about whether he took a professional book cover photo before the incident where he almost broke his spine on a dog bowl in 2019.
However, not everyone is convinced that the alleged altercation between Harry and William actually occurred.
Some royal fans believe that it never happened, with one person suggesting that Meghan has been teaching Harry how to plagiarize.
They argue that the description of the scene resembles a scene from the movie La Bamba, where brothers scuffle and the older one rips off the necklace of Ritchie Valens before throwing him to the floor.
These doubters view the couple’s actions as a constant source of embarrassment and shame.
Chelsea, on the other hand, seems to have dodged a bullet by not marrying Harry.
She made it clear that she did not aspire to become a princess as she wanted to focus on her career and maintain a private life.
Given the recent revelations about Harry’s therapy needs following the necklace incident, Chelsea may be feeling relieved about her decision.
It appears that the fight between the two brothers should have taken place twenty years ago.
Before his relationship with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry admitted that watching his brother fall in love with Princess Catherine made him question his own future with Chelsea Davy.
In an excerpt from his upcoming memoir, Harry expressed how his brother’s relationship made him wonder if Davy, whom he dated for six years, could be his future wife.
He found solace in the fun times they all shared together, thinking about the laughter and joy that would come with having a serious girlfriend who could join in their merriment.
However, despite these optimistic thoughts, Harry and Chelsea eventually called it quits shortly after he received his helicopter pilot’s wings in 2010.
According to Harry, their decision to go their separate ways was influenced by various factors, including the distance caused by his military duties and the pressures associated with joining the royal family.
Reflecting on their split, Harry empathized with Chelsea’s desire for freedom, stating that he wouldn’t have chosen this life either if given the option.
He believed that when he earned his wings, she earned hers as well.
