Prince Harry admits he lost one of his long-term girlfriends, Chelsy Davey, due to pressure from the Royal Family.
The Duke of Sussex, who eventually married Meghan Markle in 2018, was snubbed just after Harry's older brother Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot.
Speaking about the final days of their relationship, Harry said in his memoir 'Spare': “In 2011, after more back-and-forth, she finally decided to leave – and ironically, it was Kate and William's grand and glorious wedding that spring that made her decide. According to a friend, she told Harry that she could never make the sacrifices she had seen Kate make, particularly when it came to moulding her life around the relentless attention of the press.”
She added: “In 2014, she was said to be ‘completely freaked out’ after watching TV coverage of William and Kate touring New Zealand with baby George in tow – that was not the way she would have wanted to enjoy her eight-month-old son, she ruefully explained to Harry.”
Harry ended his relationship with Davy in 2011, months after which he began dating model Cressida Bonas. The duke eventually married Meghan Markle after announcing their engagement in 2017.
