Prince Harry’s Ex Chelsy Davy Echoes Meghan Markle With Rare Holiday Photos
Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy has seemingly followed Meghan Markle’s lead by sharing rare holiday photos of her children while carefully keeping their faces out of view.
The 40-year-old, who dated Harry on and off for around seven years, offered followers a glimpse into her sun-drenched life in Mauritius with a photograph featuring two of her three children.
In the image shared on her official Instagram account on Tuesday, Chelsy’s eldest son Leo, four, and daughter Chloe, two, can be seen running along a pontoon toward the sparkling turquoise water.
Chloe appeared adorable in a denim dress, with her blonde hair tied into a small ponytail, while her older brother Leo wore a Spider-Man T-shirt with black shorts as he enjoyed the family holiday.
Although the photograph provided a rare glimpse into Chelsy’s family life, she made sure not to reveal the children’s faces, a decision that has drawn comparisons with Meghan’s approach to protecting Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from unnecessary public exposure.
Chelsy has traditionally kept her private life away from the spotlight, making the post one of only a handful of occasions when she has publicly shared photographs of her children.
The timing of the post has also attracted attention because it comes weeks after Meghan shared sun-soaked photographs featuring herself and Prince Harry during their time in the UK.
The Sussexes’ candid images offered followers a glimpse into their personal life and once again generated interest in Meghan’s approach to sharing carefully selected moments with the public.
Chelsy’s decision to reveal only partial views of her children similarly allows her to share a family memory while maintaining a clear boundary around their privacy.
Her relationship with Harry began in 2004 during the Duke’s gap year in Zimbabwe, where Chelsy’s millionaire father runs a game reserve. The couple went on to enjoy an on-and-off romance that lasted for around seven years.
Their relationship became familiar to royal insiders, with reports at the time claiming that Harry and Chelsy affectionately referred to each other as “hubby” and “wifey.”
Despite their lengthy romance, the pair eventually went their separate ways in 2011, with conflicting careers and long periods apart reportedly contributing to the end of their relationship.
Chelsy and Harry have nevertheless remained on amicable terms, and she was among the guests who attended his 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle.
Now, Chelsy appears to have found a much more private family life away from the intense attention that accompanied her relationship with Harry. Her latest holiday photograph offers a rare look into that world while keeping her children protected from direct public exposure.
The resemblance to Meghan’s approach may be coincidental, but both women have demonstrated a similar instinct when it comes to sharing family moments while maintaining privacy around their children.
