In his memoir 'Spare', Prince Harry opens up about his relationship with
Chelsy Davy, his first long-term girlfriend, and how she struggled to adapt to
the media attention in Britain.
Harry acknowledges that Chelsy had difficulty adjusting to the paparazzi culture, which was very different from their peaceful getaways in Africa.
According to the Duke of Sussex, their return to Britain was marked by constant paparazzi attention, which he admits was never enjoyable for him. However, he was used to it, having gone through a few years of being constantly followed by the media after the death of his mother.
In an attempt to help Chelsy cope, Harry advised her to treat the paparazzi attention like a chronic illness, something that needed to be managed. Unfortunately, Chelsy wasn't keen on the idea of having to constantly deal with the media, and it became a challenge in their relationship.
