A friend of the royal family has spilled the beans — or, rather, the tea — about a secret phone call Prince Harry made just hours ahead of his wedding to American actress Meghan Markle. The new Duchess of Sussex was shocked to learn what was said during the call between Harry and his ex-girlfriend, Chelsy Davy.
According to Vanity Fair, Prince Harry got in touch with his ex-girlfriend, 32-year-old Chelsy Davy, after discovering that she had received an invite to his wedding ceremony but not the reception at Frogmore House, and the conversation acted as closure for the former couple.
“It was their final call, a parting call in which they both acknowledged Harry was moving on,” said a family friend. “Chelsy was quite emotional about it all, she was in tears and almost didn’t go to the wedding. In the end, she went and promised Harry she wouldn’t try and gatecrash the party.”
The 32-year-old, who dated the prince from 2003 to 2010, attended the ceremony of Meghan Markle’s wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday. She is reported to have arrived with fellow ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas, with the pair spotted chatting together ahead of the ceremony.
Many social media users were quick to point out the jewelry designer’s more somber face during the service. While many joked that her pensive face screamed ‘it should have been me’, others admitted that they could relate to her.

Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy were together for the better part of seven years, between 2003 and 2010. After first meeting while she was a teenager and then getting together during Harry’s gap year in Cape Town, Zimbabwe-born Chelsy moved to the UK to study in Leeds and be closer to the young royal.
The 32-year-old businesswoman has previously said that she and Harry split as a result of the intense media interest surrounding their relationship, which she called “scary” and “uncomfortable.” When the couple broke up in 2010, she retreated once again to her native Zimbabwe, unable to handle the headlines. However, she was invited to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding in 2011.
Chelsy went on to establish an enviable career at solicitor’s firm Allen & Overy. In an interview in 2016, she said that she believes that she and Harry “will always be friends.” However, it’s likely that won’t sit well with Meghan, who must be furious that Harry was still calling his ex in the days and hours leading up to the royal wedding.
Those who viewed the ceremony were largely able to identify with Chelsy’s heartbreak at watching another woman marry her prince. After all, Chelsy and Harry were together for much longer than him and Meghan, but the American actress ultimately won his proposal and his hand in marriage.
Many fans of the royal family would have liked to have seen Harry pick Chelsy over Meghan, as Chelsy would have been a far better fit for royal life. For one, she has much better “breeding” than Meghan, whose family created all sorts of drama in the weeks leading up to her wedding. Chelsy also has a good job and “real world” experience which would have made her relatable to the general public. Meghan’s just an out-of-touch Hollywood actress.
Indeed, now that several days have passed since the royal wedding, many have been left wondering if Harry married the wrong girl. No doubt his family would have been relieved had he picked Chelsy over Meghan, if only for the fact that Chelsy’s family surely wouldn’t have embarrassed them the way that Meghan’s did. Chelsy would have been another Kate Middleton, while Meghan is more like the red-headed step-child who never quite fit in. I suppose it’s too late for Harry to change his mind now, though.
