Chelsy Davy(pictured) rejected royal life due to press intrusion, court documents, according to a number of documents have been filed to the court in support of the claims.
The documents show Chelsy Davy, the former girlfriend of the Duke of Sussex, decided that “a royal life was not for her” as a result of alleged unlawful information gathering by journalists at the Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN).
In court documents, Sherborne said these activities, including the alleged unauthorised accessing of his voicemails, caused the duke “huge distress” and created “a huge amount of paranoia in my relationships”.
Referencing Harry’s witness statement in the case, Sherborne said: “He became immediately suspicious of anyone named in stories about him and felt that he could not trust anybody, even at such a young age. It also caused great challenges in his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, and made him fear for his and her safety.
“Every time he was in a relationship, or even a rumoured relationship, that whole person’s family, and often their friends, would be ‘dragged into the chaos’ and find themselves the subject of unlawful activity on the part of MGN.
“There was nowhere that was ‘off limits’ for MGN’s newspapers, whose journalists would even manage to book into a hotel in Bazaruto, a small island off the coast of Mozambique, when the Duke of Sussex and Ms Davy tried to escape there and enjoy some peace and quiet.
“They were never on their own, which ‘placed a huge amount of unnecessary stress and strain’ on their relationship.
“Ultimately, MGN’s activities led Ms Davy to make the decision that ‘a royal life was not for her’, which was ‘incredibly upsetting’ for the Duke of Sussex at the time. They also caused their circle of friends to become smaller and smaller, meaning that friendships were lost entirely unnecessarily, and led to ‘huge bouts of depression and paranoia’.”
Chelsy Davy was Harry’s longest relationship before the duke married Meghan. Markle
Prince Harry dated the Zimbabwean born businesswoman on-and-off from 2004 to 2011 after first getting together during Prince Harry’s gap year in Cape Town. He discusses the incident in his book Spare. Both Harry and Chelsea cited press intrusion as the reason for their separation.
Davy married hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott and gave birth to their son, Leo, in early 2022.
The two remain friends till this day, and Chelsea attended Princce Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018.
An exclusive sources formerly close to Ms Davy told The Eye Of Media.Com that :”Chelsea Davy had several pensive moments over Prince Harry, as she cared for him a lot and was always concerned about the third force in their life with in the form of the press and other forces involved.
”It was never an esy experience, especially with during the height of her Law Masters degree”.
There are suspicions Davy may be required to give evidence in court with regards her claims, but the safe ebat is that she runs a mile from the press attention to accompany her appearance, and use a lawyer to fully reflect her experiences, which Harry’s lawyers say there can prove.
