In a shocking revelation, Prince Harry has attributed the alleged press intrusions into his personal life as the main reason behind his breakup with Chelsea Davy.
The Duke of Sussex made this claim in a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), along with several other high-profile figures, according to the BBC.
The lawsuit accuses MGN of intercepting private voicemails, a charge that the company vehemently denies.
In his witness statement, Prince Harry, through his lawyers, stated that the relentless harassment he faced had posed significant challenges in his relationship with Miss Davy, ultimately leading her to decide that royal life was not for her.
He further asserted that the press’s alleged unlawful activities had caused immense distress and genuine safety concerns, not only for himself but also for those around him.
According to Harry’s lawyers, the media created an environment of paranoia that affected his future relationships.
Whenever he was involved with someone, or even rumored to be, the press would drag the person’s entire family and friends into the chaos, subjecting them to unlawful activities by MGN.
To exemplify this, Harry mentioned an incident where journalists even booked into the same hotel in Mozambique, where he and Miss Davy were seeking some peace and quiet.
The news of Prince Harry’s claims has sparked a flurry of opinions about the nature of his relationship with Chelsea Davy.
Some wonder how he managed to attract someone like her, given her seemingly glamorous lifestyle.
Social media users have expressed admiration for Chelsea’s Instagram posts, depicting her partying in different countries every weekend, showcasing her enviable physique, and exuding a fun-loving personality.
Many perceive her as an immensely sweet individual who may have initially believed that a prince would live up to the expectations of being a prince.
However, time, sorrow, and disillusionment may have led her to wise up and realize the truth.
Reports have also surfaced suggesting that Prince Harry displayed racist tendencies during his relationship with Chelsea.
It is alleged that when it came up in conversation that she hailed from Zimbabwe, he callously remarked, “Don’t worry, she’s not black or anything.”
This revelation has further fueled the perception that Harry’s love extends only to himself, and that he pursued Chelsea because she dared to end their relationship—a situation that he believed should never have happened to a prince.
Moreover, Chelsea has moved on to a better life with a new partner and a child, raising questions about why Harry continues to drag her name into the public domain repeatedly.
Critics have also pointed out the irony of Prince Harry claiming to be a feminist while seemingly using women like Chelsea and Sasha Walpole as media pawns to further his own victimhood narrative.
They argue that if Harry truly respected these women, he would protect and respect their privacy, just as Meghan has sought to do during her time in the public eye.
Prince Harry is expected to appear in court in June, where he will provide evidence regarding the alleged interception of voicemails.
His lawyers claim that around 30 people from his inner circle had unknowingly become targets of this intrusion.
They assert that Prince Harry’s mobile phone number was recorded on a handheld device owned by then-Sunday Mirror News boss Nick Buckley.
This upcoming court appearance will mark the first time in modern history that a senior royal will testify in a high court.
Prince Harry and Chelsea Davy had an on-again, off-again relationship for six years, spanning from 2004 to 2010.
Their romance endured long-distance challenges, with Harry undergoing training in the British Royal Army while Chelsea pursued her studies in South Africa.
Eventually, Harry married American actress Meghan Markle in 2018, and in 2020, the couple stepped away from royal duties to reside in the United States with their two children, Prince Archie IV and Princess Lilibet I.
