Chelsy Davy has split from her boyfriend of three years, Prince Harry. The final straw was Harry’s going to the rugby World Cup final:

PRINCE
HARRY has been ditched by girlfriend Chelsy Davy, the News
of the World can reveal.

The pretty blonde ended their three-year romance in a series
of tearful phone calls this week, telling him: "It’s over."

Close pals say that she became tired of Harry’s boozy, playboy
lifestyle and angry at his total lack of commitment.

One told us: "Chelsy just couldn’t put up with his antics any more. She feels they’ve fallen out of love."

The prince was seen consoling himself with a mystery brunette
at a London nightclub on Friday.

She put up with him snogging a sexy telly presenter, fooling
around with two saucy barmaids and his drunken trip to a seedy
lap-dancing club.

But it was Prince Harry’s date with Jonny Wilkinson that finally put an end to his relationship with Chelsy Davy.

Close friends say Chelsy was devastated when the prince snubbed
her 22nd birthday to go to the Rugby World Cup Final in Paris with
mates.

The curvy blonde told her pals: "I’ve had enough."

Well, true, prefering a rugby match to you girlfriend’s birthday is a bit, erm, male, isn’t it? Then again, the Rugby World Cup is only once every four years so there’s three other birthdays each cycle to be spent together.

One lovely comment on the Chelsy Davy / Prince Harry relationship:

The News of the World
reported that Chelsy Davy had ended their three-year relationship after
the prince missed her 22nd birthday party to go to the Rugby World Cup
final in Paris.

Miss Davy, who was born in Zimbabwe, had also become sick of the
prince’s playboy lifestyle and lack of commitment to her, the newspaper
said.

Quoting unnamed "friends" of Miss Davy, the News of the World said
the relationship ended in a series of emotional telephone calls between
Leeds, where she is a student, and the southern African country of
Lesotho, where the prince is doing charity work.

One told the newspaper the couple had worked better together when they lived 6,000 miles apart.

Yes, I’ve been in relationships like that too, even if you haven’t.

There’s also the usual "I need space" argument:

Chelsy Davy has split from Prince Harry, telling him she ‘needs space’ to carve out her own identity.

The party-loving Zimbabwean told friends she was having a "trial
separation" from the Prince while she studies at Leeds University and
he pursues his Army career.

The couple began their separation in
the style that has characterised their three-year relationship –
partying hard at different nightclubs just a few miles away from each
other in London.

Chelsy’s decision to split from the Prince came
less than a week after The Mail on Sunday revealed that the 22-year-old
was desperately unhappy in Leeds.

Is everyone now learning their emotional language from the worst of the women’s mags? "Space" indeed: the point of a relationship is not, of course, to have space.

Anyway, there is as ever a silver lining to the cloud. We really didn’t want the third in line to the throne married to someone named after a suburb of London now, did we? However tony the place might be: and especially as her parents apparently couldn’t spell, unlike the Clintons who at least got Chelsea right.
