Harry has always been subject to intense media scrutiny, and those associated with him face similar scrutiny. His relationships, in particular, have been under intense speculation.
During the trial, Harry openly expressed the profound impact of media scrutiny on his past relationship with Chelsea Davey, his ex-girlfriend.
He mentioned Chelsea's name over a hundred times in court, in stark contrast to only five mentions of Meghan Markle. While Harry's honesty was evident, his statements lacked evidence, and it became apparent that Chelsea was the main focus of the harassment he endured
The situation took a troubling turn when Harry brought up Chelsea's family during his testimony, using them as a shield. This had a direct impact on Chelsea's present life. It is worth noting that Chelsea herself has a law degree. Prince Harry's decision to involve her, thereby damaging her reputation, even under the pretext of his own case, was seen as intrusive. He revealed private information about Chelsea without her permission.
After her A-levels, Chelsea went on to study philosophy, politics, and economics in Cape Town and later pursued a postgraduate degree in law at Leeds University. She subsequently secured a training contract at Allen & Overy, a prestigious law firm.
Sources indicate that Chelsea's current husband, Kurt Moor Scott, intends to sue Prince Harry out of concern that the prince may continue his fixation on Chelsea even after this ongoing case concludes. Both Chelsea and Kurt are worried about the impact of Harry's obsession on their children as they grow up.
Many may remember Chelsea Davey as Prince Harry's on-again, off-again flame, as they were together for seven years. They first met in 2004 when Harry was involved in conservation work in Africa.
Following their breakup, Chelsea left her high-powered job in the City and started her own business in 2016—an established jewelry brand called Aya, which has since expanded to include lifestyle and travel elements.
Today, Chelsea is a successful businesswoman, while her husband, Kurt Moor Scott, serves as the Director of the Ebu Collection, a hospitality company owned by his parents that includes four exclusive wedding venues, including a Chateau in the south of France. It is unclear if their own wedding took place at any of these venues.
If Chelsea's husband proceeds with the lawsuit against Harry, it is unlikely that a significant amount of compensation will be awarded. The publisher, on the other hand, argues that Harry has failed to provide evidence of voicemail interception or any other unlawful gathering of his private information.
They contend that, apart from one incident or isolated inquiry, the Duke of Sussex should be awarded a maximum of £500.
Although Harry is now happily married to Meghan Markle, he previously had several love interests before settling down, including Chelsea Davey. Harry claims that the main reason for his relationship with the Zimbabwean businesswoman ending is the interference from the media.
Currently, the monarch is suing Mirror Group Newspapers Limited over alleged phone hacking, and the New York Times has published a document submitted to the UK courts in relation to this case.
