Chelsy Yvonne Davy (born 13 October 1985) is a Zimbabwean businesswoman who was the on again-off again girlfriend of Prince Harry from early 2004 to 2011.

Early life

Chelsy Yvonne Davy was born 13 October 1985 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, the child of Charles Davy, a South African-born Zimbabwean safari farmer and millionaire, and Beverley Donald Davy, a former Coca-Cola model and beauty pageant winner who held the title of Miss Rhodesia in 1973. She has one sibling, a brother Shaun. Davy's family owns a significant amount of land in Zimbabwe, reportedly 1,200 km² (460 mi²) of land, and she grew up at her family's homestead in the Lemco Safari Area, roughly 150 miles southeast of Bulawayo.

Her father maintains business ties with controversial politician Webster Shamu, of whom he has said, "I am in partnership with a person who I personally like and get along with. I am not involved in politics in any way." After being criticised by the press, however, Charles Davy sold his share in the business.

Career

Work in law firms

Davy was briefly educated at Cheltenham College (not Cheltenham Ladies' College as has been widely reported), before moving to Stowe School in Buckinghamshire.

Davy received a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Cape Town in 2006, and a law degree (LLB) from Leeds University in 2009. In September 2011, Davy began work as a trainee solicitor at London law firm Allen & Overy. In late 2014, however, Davy decided to quit her position at the firm.

Jewellery brand Aya

After studying at Gemological Institute of America, Davy started a jewellery brand, Aya, in July 2016.

Relationship with Prince Harry

Davy had what the press described as a "turbulent" relationship with Prince Harry, the younger son of the Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales. The pair met in early 2004 while Davy was a boarder at Stowe School, and were an on-again, off-again couple, until May 2010. Davy announced the end of the relationship on Facebook.

In 2011, addressing rumours of a possible reconciliation, Prince Harry publicly professed himself as "100 per cent single," revealing that he had no time for a relationship of any kind.

In May 2018, Davy was a guest at Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle.
