Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Wedding: Why William's Brother Needed To Call Chelsy Davy?

Prince Harry decided to give his ex-girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, a phone call before he tied the knot with Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex also invited her to his royal wedding at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.

In an article she wrote for Vanity Fair, royal author Katie Nicholl said that the gesture served as Prince Harry and Davy’s parting call. It also signaled them to confirm that they are both moving on from each other completely.

“Chelsy was quite emotional about it all, she was in tears and almost didn’t go to the wedding,” Nicholl said. “In the end, she went and promised Harry she wouldn’t try and gatecrash the party,” she added.

Prince Harry and Davy dated each other for six years before calling it quits in 2010. In the book “Harry: Conversations With the Prince,” royal author Angela Levin said that Davy realized that she could no longer cope with life in the royal fishbowl. After attending Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding in 2011, Davy realized that the royal life isn’t for her.

“Although they had a lot in common, she saw clearly that because they came from such different worlds it could never have worked, especially as she valued her privacy and guarded it so carefully,” Levin said. Six years after the couple ended their romance, Davy opened up about what it was like dating Prince Harry.

While speaking with The Times, Davy described her relationship with the Duke of Sussex as full-on crazy, scary, and uncomfortable. After all, all eyes were on them wherever they went.

“I found it very difficult when it was bad,” Davy said. “I couldn’t cope. I was young, I was trying to be a normal kid, and it was horrible,” she added.

Meanwhile, even after their split, Prince Harry and Davy have stayed friends. This is the reason why she was invited to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding. Prince Harry’s other ex-girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, was also there. However, both of them weren’t invited to the after-party.
