Chelsy Davy’s New Year cheer: Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend seems like she could not be happier as she shares social media seashore snap
Prince Harry often looks miserable in photographs these days, but his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy couldn’t be happier.
Chelsy, 39, who had an on-off relationship with the prince for seven years until 2011, shared a picture on social media to mark the New Year.
Looking carefree in the beach snap taken in warmer times, she wrote: ‘I am so excited for all that is to come in 2025.’
It comes after Chelsy announced she had given birth to her second child Chloe last September, while at the same time launching her jewellery collection.
Like her ex-boyfriend and the Duchess of Sussex, Chelsy now has a boy and a girl.
In 2022, Daily Mail’s Richard Eden disclosed that Chelsy had married hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott and given birth to a boy, Leo.
Her son’s birth was kept so private that his arrival only emerged three months later after he was introduced to their local parish council in Norfolk.
Many of Chelsy’s friends didn’t even know she had become pregnant in lockdown.

Sam is the brother of Jack Cutmore-Scott, 35, the dashing Hollywood actor best known for his role in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning film Tenet and the drama series Deception.
The siblings are close, and Chelsy is believed to have spent time with him in LA since she met her now husband around five years ago.
They were first pictured together on a family holiday to Mauritius over Christmas 2019.
Oxford graduate Cutmore-Scott is managing director at The Harper Hotel in Holt, the family business, and the couple are believed to split their time between a townhouse in Chiswick and the Norfolk coast.
‘They are married,’ a friend told Richard Eden in May 2022, adding: ‘Very few people knew about the wedding.’
Sharing the exciting news about her daughter last year, Chelsy wrote: ‘POV: it’s been three years and two babies since your last new collection, but you’re mega-excited to be back in the game.
‘Introducing the Chloe Collection, named after my baby girl. Hope you love it as much as I do x’

Chelsy found her man after an ‘on-again, off-again’, relationship with Harry, who had told friends before they split in 2011

Chelsy found her man after an ‘on-again, off-again’, relationship with Harry, who had told friends before they split in 2011 that she was ‘the best thing that’s ever happened to me’.
They had met in London when they were both at school but got together in 2004, during Harry’s gap year travels in Zimbabwe, where Chelsy’s millionaire father owns and runs a game reserve.
It became so serious palace officials remarked that he had started calling her ‘wifey’ and she in turn called him ‘hubby’.
It was clearly serious when Chelsy would not only attend Harry’s cousin Peter Phillips’ wedding to Autumn Kelly – where she was introduced to the Queen – but she would also be invited to Prince Charles’s 60th birthday celebrations.
But the pressures of their conflicting careers and long periods apart as Harry served in Afghanistan took their toll yet again.
They split in 2010 and Chelsy has remained largely out of the spotlight in the 14 years since.
Party-loving Chelsy, who was born in Zimbabwe and now runs a jewellery and luxury travel business, revealed in 2020 that she had a serious boyfriend.
At the time she did not give his name, explaining: ‘There is someone, and I am quite taken by this one, but it’s very new and I don’t want to say too much.’
Her last known boyfriend before then was dashing television producer James Marshall, from whom she split in 2018.
Davy was educated at Cheltenham College before moving to Stowe School in Buckinghamshire.
She received a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Cape Town in 2006, and a law degree from the University of Leeds in 2009.
