Right when we thought we knew everything about Prince Harry’s past, another detail comes to the forefront. From his childhood to his relationship with Meghan Markle, we thought we knew it all — until the MGN trial started. In fact, we just learned Harry’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy may have fizzled because of what MGN was allegedly doing.
Davy allegedly decided “a royal life was not for her” after the alleged unlawful information gathering from Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN). Barrister David Sherborne said, per the Guardian, “[Harry] 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.”
Sherborne furthered the allegations by saying, “Every time he was in a relationship, or even a rumored 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.”
In court documents, Sherborne said these activities, including the alleged unauthorized accessing of his voicemails, caused the duke “huge distress” and created “a huge amount of paranoia in my relationships.”
It was also alleged that their phones were tapped during Harry and Davy’s trip to Bazaruto, which caused a huge strain on their relationship and led Harry to have “huge bouts of depression and paranoia.’”
What’s Going on with the Phone-Hacking Trial?
Prince Harry is currently suing the Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) for unlawfully gathering information about him and his loved ones through unlawful means such as phone-tapping, for instance. The trial is currently ongoing as they pour through hundreds of articles and details.
How Long Were Prince Harry & Chelsy Davy Together?
Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy were in an on-again, off-again relationship from 2004 to 2011, and she was even his plus one to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011. However, they called it quits for good because she decided royal life wasn’t for her (and allegedly, Queen Elizabeth II worked hard to convince Harry to break it off!)
‘Spare’ by Prince Harry
A common phrase with the British Royal Family is that you want “an heir, and a spare,” meaning you have secured the bloodline with an heir — and just in case something happens to the heir, you have a spare. And that’s exactly what Prince Harry was known as his entire time with the British Royal Family. After years of waiting, people are finally going to get to know an even closer, more vulnerable look at Prince Harry and his struggles. From losing his mother Princess Diana so suddenly and tragically, to how his life would play out afterward, Harry is baring it all for his memoir Spare.
