Chelsy Davy offers beginning! Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend pronounces beginning of third youngster on Mother’s day – and shares his candy identify

Prince Harry‘s ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy has today announced the birth of her third child. 

The former City lawyer, 40, revealed in a Mother’s Day post on her Instagram that she gave birth to ‘little boy’ Finn last week.

She accompanied the post with a series of sweet photos of her cradling the newborn as his two older siblings look on lovingly. 

Chelsy said in a heartfelt message that ‘returning to those hazy newborn days has been a beautiful reminder of just how remarkable mothers are’. 

‘Running Aya alongside raising Finn, Chloe and Leo is a juggle, but it’s one I’ve chosen,’ she said. 

‘And one of the wonderful things about the world we live in today is that many of us have that freedom – to shape our lives in the way that feels right, whether that includes motherhood, a career, creativity, or something entirely different.

‘This Mother’s Day, I’m embracing the juggle I’ve chosen – and celebrating all of you embracing yours.

‘Wishing you a very happy Mother’s Day.

‘Chelsy x.’

Chelsy – who dated Prince Harry on-and-off for seven years from 2004 – welcomed her first child, a son, Leo, in 2022 with her Eton-educated hotelier husband Sam Cutmore-Scott.

In September 2024, in a similar low-key way, Chelsy then revealed she had welcomed her second child, a daughter, thought to be called Chloe.

The jewellery designer wed Mr Cutmore-Scott, a successful hotelier who was in the year above Harry at Eton, in a secret ceremony in 2022.

Chelsy welcomed her first child in January 2022 ‘without virtually anyone knowing she was pregnant’, according to The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden.

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 the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden in May 2022, adding: ‘Very few people knew about the wedding.’

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’s wedding to Autumn Kelly – where she was introduced to the Queen – but she would also be invited to then-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 years since.

Once 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.
