Prince Harry: why did he call his ex-girlfriend the day before his wedding to Meghan Markle?
It is a very upset Harry who would have contacted his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, on the eve of linking his fate to that of Meghan Markle. In any case, this is what the British tabloid Daily Express says on Monday, June 14, which returns to the facts.

Chelsy can rightfully be considered the first great love of William's younger brother.
