Chelsy Davy’s Princess Dilemma

Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy are clearly back together. But like other royal girlfriends, surely the decision to give the relationship another go isn’t so simple. There’s the painful reality of dating or marrying a royal — endless days of haute couture, ribbon-cutting and social duties. One has to have the tenacity to endure life in a fishbowl and, as Diana and Fergie experienced, ride the roller coaster of being the media’s cash cow or whipping target. What crazy girl would want such a life? Here lies the dilemma of free-spirited Chelsy who, despite being the perfect girl for Harry, is said to still recoil in horror when the prospect of being a fully paid-up member of the Royal Family is raised.

These issues are very real, IMO, not just for Chelsy but also for Kate Middleton.  These girls, after all, are born to families with sufficient wealth and power to begin with.  They could have easily chosen to live private, comfortable lives with equally rich opportunities.  So like Diana and Fergie before them, they must both love their men deeply to choose to be in the relationship.  And simply for this, they deserve our respect.

Harry at Annabel’s

After catching the London premiere of Sherlock Holmes on Monday with brother Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Harry capped the night off  by partying with Guy Pelly and three other male friends at Annabel’s private members club.   They were seen leaving at 3am Tuesday morning.  And on a rare occasion, Harry exchanged pleasantries with the waiting paparazzi.

Harry: “Thanks for being so nice tonight guys.”
Pap: “We’re always nice.”
Harry: “No you’re not.”

He then gave them a thumbs up as the royal car sped away.  That’s the way to do it, Harry!  Absolutely charming!

Prince William, opening the event, delivered a speech on the forces he will one day lead.   “These are not just words. It is the truth.

In a poignant climax to the Millies awards, Prince Harry presented the group becoming known as the Band of Mothers with a Special Recognition honour.  They are a group of eight mums who lost their sons.

Showing all the warmth and understanding for which his mum Princess Diana was famous, Harry, who was 12 when Diana died, embraced them and called them “quite remarkable ladies”. “Your story is truly humbling. To show such immense courage in the face of tragedy is beyond words.”
