Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend had concerns about his 'roving eye' according to royal expert
Before settling down with wife Meghan Markle, Prince Harry was known as a bit of a party animal and his royal status meant he had many late nights out on the town in the company of an 'endless supply of gorgeous young women'. Katie Nicholl, former Royal Correspondent for the Mail, wrote about Harry's nights at the exclusive London venue Boujis in her book, The Making of a Royal Romance. The Prince was a regular at the glamorous private members' club where he had his own barmen to look after him in the exclusive VIP room. Nicholl wrote: 'Harry was out with one girl guaranteed to rile Chelsy Davy, who was at home in South Africa working on her finals.' Zimbabwean businesswoman Chelsy Davy had an on-off relationship with Prince Harry between 2004 until mid-2010. In his memoir, Spare the royal writes that he 'couldn't help' but think what his grandmother thought about Davy's free-spirited lifestyle at the time. He wrote: 'I loved Chels' ease, that she wasn't complicated.' In Spare, Harry continued: 'She didn't care what anyone thought. She wore miniskirts and high-heeled boots, danced however she wanted, drank tequila like me, and all of this made me really happy. 'I couldn't help what my grandmother thought about it. Or the people. And the last thing I wanted was for Chels to change to please them.' Nicholl continued: 'Natalie Pinkham, a pretty TV presenter, was Harry's date for the night. 'In December 2001 there were reports that Harry had sent her a thong for Christmas and that he "fancied her rotten" despite the six-year age gap.' Natalie told Nicholl that the two 'got on well' but that was 'as far as it went'. The royal author wrote: 'On this particular occasion they were in the mood to party, and the champagne corks continued to pop as they danced and chatted in the dimly lit VIP room.' When the club closed for the night Harry suggested the two continued partying at former equerry Mark Dyer's house. Nicholl wrote: 'At Dyer's, Harry can be himself and, safe in the knowledge that what goes on inside those four walls stays there.' Nicholl continued: 'The drink always flows freely, and good-looking girls are never in short supply. 'As the prince escorted her to his waiting Range Rover, Natalie, a little unsteady on her feet after eight hours of drinking, begged Harry for a kiss goodnight. '"Not here," he said before whisking her back down the steps. 'They emerged seconds later, blissfully unaware that their late-night encounter had been captured by a long lens. 'When the story hit the newspapers the next day, there was an awkward long-distance call to Chelsy in South Africa.' And this wasn't the only escapade that started at Boujis that saw Harry having to explain himself. In May 2006 Harry regularly enjoyed VIP treatment at Boujis on Friday nights. Nicholl wrote: 'Sadly for Chelsy, 2006 was a summer of rather tacky confessions.' Nicholl continued: 'The flurry of tabloid tales left Chelsy in tears and cast fresh doubts on their relationship. 'First came the reports of Catherine Davies, a 34-year-old mother who claimed she was seduced by Harry at a house party in Fulham. 'Then in July there was allegedly a page three girl whom he danced and a masseuse who claimed she kissed him. 'She had told her friends in South Africa that she was in the relationship for the long term but was worried about her boyfriend's roving eye.' The author added: 'Harry assured her that she was the one, and for the first time Charles gave his seal of approval, allowing Harry and Chelsy to share a room at Highgrove.' Before the relationship ended Charles had warned Harry and his brother William to stay away from Boujis as the media had by then dubbed them 'the booze brothers'. Chelsy reportedly called things off with Harry before he left for a six-month tour of Iraq in 2007, just a week after he was photographed falling out of a London club with his 'favorite drinking buddy' Natalie Pinkham. When the on-off relationship ended for a final time in 2010 after seven years, Harry said this was primarily due to the intense media scrutiny the couple received and the pressures of being in the public eye. Big smooch: Harry and Chelsy kiss while sitting in the Royal Box at the Cartier International Polo Match in July 2006 Chelsy reportedly struggled with the relentless attention and press intrusion she received for being Harry's girlfriend which ultimately leading her to decide that a royal life was not for her. Chelsy and Harry have stayed amicable and in 2011 they went to Prince William's wedding together. Harry got back in touch with Chelsy to invite her to his wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018 and he also invited his other old flame Cressida Bonas - but the invites were for the ceremony only. An emotional phone call followed, with the conversation reportedly acting as closure for the former couple. However, body language expert Judi James said Chelsy's feelings were evident during the wedding. She told MailOnline: 'When she arrived, everyone else was chatting and laughing, but she sat in the pews just looking to one side - gazing reflectively into space and biting her lips slightly. 'She was doing that at the end as well. It was almost the soap opera part of the ceremony.' In 2023 Harry told the High Court in his witness statement that 'whenever' he has been in a relationship, the woman 'is not just in a relationship with me but with the entire tabloid press' who try to 'ruin it '. Chelsy has since put her partying days behind her and has since launched two successful businesses; her jewellery brand Aya and the travel agency Aya Africa. She has two children, a boy and a girl, like Harry, and married her boyfriend of three years, Sam Cutmore-Scott, in a secret ceremony in 2022. Cutmore-Scott was in the year above Harry at Eton College and is managing director at The Harper Hotel in Holt, the family business. The couple are believed to split their time between a townhouse in Chiswick and the Norfolk coast. Chelsy seems to be enjoying her life outside of the public eye and didn't share the news of the birth of her son until three months later when he was introduced to their local parish council in Norfolk. In fact Chelsy kept the news so close to her chest that many of friends didn't even know she had fallen pregnant in lockdown.

But do you know who these women were who fell hard for the Ginger Prince? Take a look! Natalie Pinkham (2003) Natalie Pinkham and Prince Harry first met in 1999 at the Rugby World Cup, according to US Weekly. A few years later, they began dating in 2003. They crossed paths several times since then due to her work and his charity efforts, and they reportedly remain friends today. Cassie Sumner (2003) The palace was relieved that this one-night stand didn't turn into more! A 19-year-old Harry met model Cassie Sumner at a nightclub during his wild youth. They reportedly spent an evening together, which Sumner talked about in an interview. She joined him at his private table, and the fun began. She said, 'He seemed fascinated with my breasts because he spent more time looking at them than my face.' Sumner added that at one point, Harry cuddled up to her, ran his hands up and down her thighs, and whispered that she looked sexy. When he asked if they could go somewhere private, she told him, 'Don't be silly,' but it only seemed to encourage him more. It's not surprising that this fling ended quickly, letting the royal family take a breath of relief. Chelsy Davy (2004-2011) Harry had a sweet but complicated on-again-off-again relationship with Chelsy Davy. They broke up and got back together several times, and the royal family welcomed her back each time. Chelsy even attended Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011. However, she felt that the royal life was not for her because of the media attention.

They spent some time together in 2009, but when the press started to notice, they decided to end it. In her memoir, 'Storm in a C Cup', she wrote, 'I was no longer Caroline Flack, TV presenter; I was Caroline Flack, Prince Harry's bit of rough.' Mollie King (2010) Mollie King, a singer from The Saturdays, denied dating Prince Harry. She told the Evening Standard, 'No, I'm not going out with him – I'm serious. Everyone wants to believe it because he's royalty. Everyone would like it to be true but it's not. He's very out of my league, come on.' But two years later, she admitted to Closer magazine, via Digital Spy, that they did go out for a drink.

Camilla focused on her music career after they broke up. Florence Brudenell-Bruce (2011) After Harry ended his relationship with Chelsy Davy, he had a brief fling with model Florence Brudenell-Bruce. This romance didn't last long because of trust issues. An insider told the Daily Mail that Florence felt Harry had a wandering eye and didn't like being unsure about who he was with when they were apart. Cressida Bonas (2012-2014) Cressida Bonas was Harry's last serious girlfriend before Meghan. They genuinely cared for each other, but they split due to pressure from media attention. Royal author Katie Nicholl revealed that Cressida felt overwhelmed watching coverage of William, Kate, and George during their tour of New Zealand and Australia. She told Harry she didn't want that kind of attention. Harry felt heartbroken over this. In his memoir 'Spare', Harry shared that Cressida was important to him. He noted that he cried for the first time about his mother while talking to her. Despite this bond, they broke up because she didn't want the stress of being part of the royal family.

The Daily Mail reported they were seen chatting, flirting, and kissing at a post-polo event, but no pictures were taken, so it remains unconfirmed. Their friendship began when she performed at his 30th birthday, and she participated in the closing ceremonies at the 2014 Invictus Games, a charity Harry cares about.
