According to the latest gossip, Chelsea Davy—Prince Harry’s long-suffering ex-girlfriend—is gearing up to sue Harry and Meghan Markle for defamation. Chelsea is now supposedly dusting off her legal briefs and preparing to march into battle. Reports suggest that Harry has been making less-than-kind remarks about Chelsea in private legal discussions, using words like “emotionally unstable,” “jealous,” and “manipulative.”
Let’s not forget that Prince Harry has never been a beacon of discretion. In 2023, while testifying in his lawsuit against the Mirror Group Newspapers, he got misty-eyed over an old headline that read, “Hooray! Harry Dumped.” According to Harry, the headline was hurtful and turned his breakup with Chelsea into a public joke—to which the world collectively responded, “Well, duh.”
Chelsea, who dated Harry on and off for seven years before wisely calling it quits in 2011, had reportedly grown tired of his hard-partying “hooray” lifestyle. And honestly, who could blame her? While Harry was out gallivanting at nightclubs and complaining about the press, Chelsea was busy building an actual career. Today, she’s a successful businesswoman and is happily married to hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott.
Harry, now a married man, seems to still be hung up on his failed relationship with Chelsea. During his testimony, he revisited the pain of their breakup, saying, “The headline ‘Hooray! Harry Dumped’ was hurtful to say the least. That such a private moment was turned into a bit of a laugh…” He also claimed that their relationship was impacted by a lack of privacy and accused the Mirror Group and Associated Newspapers of breaking journalistic codes to gain information about his personal life.
“The fact that the payments were referred to as ‘Project Harry’ is incredibly disturbing,” Harry said, referencing an invoice. “The level of surveillance that I was under was quite something,” he added.
The former couple juggled a long-distance relationship, with Harry and Chelsea living in different parts of the world and primarily communicating via cell phone. Harry believed some of their private conversations were recorded without their knowledge and later publicized.
“Our relationship was long-distance for the majority of the time we were together, with Chelsea and I often living in different countries,” Harry explained. “So, we relied on communicating by phone a lot. We naturally spoke about all types of personal matters, including all aspects of our relationship, and this was often through voicemail. As my girlfriend, I trusted Chelsea with the most private of information, and vice versa.”
But would Chelsea really sue? The British royals and their exes aren’t exactly known for airing their dirty laundry in court. They prefer their backstabbing to happen behind closed palace doors. Plus, Chelsea has spent the last decade keeping her distance from royal drama. It’s highly unlikely she’d suddenly decide to wade back in over some secondhand gossip about what Harry may or may not have said.
Let’s also be real: Chelsea has moved on. She’s running a successful jewelry business, living her best life, and probably not sitting around plotting legal revenge against a man she dumped over a decade ago. She’s got better things to do than sue an ex who’s still busy reliving past breakups in courtrooms.
