i am generally upset 2 hear that these two have split up because these two always seem a better couple than will & kate

I am sorry that Harry and Chelsy split up. I thought that they made a good match. They seemed to genuinely care about each other. Chelsy was full of life, spunky, and was good to Harry. The same could be said about Harry. When they were together, they seemed to light up the room. I hope that they find happiness and love in the future either by finding their way back to each other or with new people.

Different “detail” stories of the break up will start appearing, so lets be all prepared with the endless drama and gossip.
PRINCE Harry split from long-term love Chelsy Davy after she told him she could not face the strain of his royal life.
Last night senior Clarence House sources explained the couple had parted after a touching heart-to-heart in a “very amicable” split.
One courtier said: “It had just come to the end of the road.”
Polo-loving Harry recently returned early from a New Year holiday with Chelsy and her family, on paradise isle Mauritius.
He left a tearful Chelsy behind with her parents after agreeing there was no future in their romance.
There was no sign of the 23-year-old at her student digs in Leeds yesterday, where she is doing a post-graduate course in law.
Harry, 24, was understood to be at the RAF base in Hampshire where he is training to be an Army helicopter pilot.
Blonde Chelsy now plans to return to her family home in Zimbabwe after completing her studies.
One family friend added: “She’s really tried her very best to make this work but Harry is a complicated young man with a very fast lifestyle.
“The strain of a long- distance relationship has just been too much for her and she’s had enough of coming second to everything else in his life.
“She was second fiddle to his family, then to his friends and then to the Army.
“She was tired of waiting for him to grow up.”
Chelsy was said to be dismayed at Harry’s decision to train as an Army Air Corp pilot.
And her family have staunchly supported her decision to give Harry his marching orders, with her older brother Sean once telling a friend: “It’s all right for him, when things go wrong he’s well protected. But Chelsy doesn’t have any bodyguards, she doesn’t have any PRs or an office handling things for her.
“She’s out there on her own.”
Chelsy has had to endure a string of humiliations as Harry cavorted with dancers and strippers during their romance.
He was even caught snogging old flame Natalie Pinkham in the early hours after a vodka-fuelled party.
Last month we revealed more cracks in their five-year romance when we told of how Chelsy had been partying with South African crocodile hunter Jabu Kirkland, an old boyfriend.
The pair were spotted out on the town in London but Chelsy flipped when she realised they had been recognised.
As they emerged from the rear door of Amika nightclub, Chelsy saw a photographer and shouted: “Hide! Hide from him.”
Jabu, real name Bradley, got close to Chelsy when she and Harry had a trial separation.
The blond hunk wants to be a big game warden and met Chelsy when they were both studying in South Africa. He is said to be interested in giving their romance another go.
January 24th, 2009 21:53
the best thing to do chelsy is to move to south africa and then move on. thats an advice.
January 24th, 2009 22:58
As I have said before, if I were in CD’s place, I would hate all the “Chelsy-hates-the-weather” talk. It makes her sound really moody and spoiled!
January 25th, 2009 00:04
She wrote that in her Facebook wall.
January 25th, 2009 00:09
I am sorry that Harry is going through this. The two of them made a cute couple. I,however never saw them as a long term couple because Chelsy would have to give up too much to be Harry’s wife. Additionally, I was unimpressed with her partying ways and how her friends chose to leak pictures time and time again on the internet. Harry is a funny,personable guy and a cutie as well. There is a great girl out there somewhere for him and I know he will find her before long.
January 25th, 2009 00:48
Chelsy can do much better than this.
Since she is a girl who loves parties, getting drunk, smoking, and getting a little bit wild, probably, the royal life wasnt the type of life for her. Contrary to KM who hasnt seemed to have goals in her life, Chelsy seems to be a person with goals and once she graduates from school she can become a lawyer and find someone more suitable for her.
Lisa,
probably you shouldnt be feeling that sorry for Harry because he is guilty of all of this. He not only lagged on Chelsy, but also cheated on her.
Or probably, you should actually feel sorry for this guy because if he doesnt change the way he is, he is going to have the same problems with future partners.
January 25th, 2009 00:58
First of all Sonia, neither you nor I have any idea what caused the break up of Harry and Chelsy. Fact. You also have no idea what goal either of these ladies have. Finally, I do not feel sorry for Harry. That would indicate pity. I do not pity him. He will be fine. Breakups suck but sometimes they have to be for people to move forward with their lives. My opinion is that I personally do not care for some things I saw from Chelsy. I did not care for the types of pictures she allowed to be taken of her with her friends and the fact that she was unable or did not care to stop her friends from posting them all over the internet. It was fairly obvious that the relationship was headed for a crashlanding. What the underlying cause was,only the couple themselves know. I wish them both well.
January 25th, 2009 04:02
How do you know what she has put on her facebook profile Me?
January 25th, 2009 07:35
Wouldn’t it be the strangest thing if Harry now went out with Pippa?
January 25th, 2009 07:36
James Whittaker made a comment (somewhere) that the last thing Chelsy should do is go blabbing. Sorry, but I do have my suspicions that after returning to South Africa that’s exactly what she is going to do.
January 25th, 2009 07:56
Lisa…Good Post
January 25th, 2009 08:07
I truely pray Chelsy does not talk. I can’t see why she would. She has enough money so the motivation would not be cash. The only thing would be anger. Hopefully things ended smoothly enough that nothing ugly will come of it.
January 25th, 2009 08:22
What will be intresting to me is to see how the Royal PR machine will handle this.
Chelsy, if she manages to stay the course with all the tabs breathing down her neck, has untill say September to finish her course. I daresay they’re will be some fellow students looking to cash in their knowledge of her as by way of paying off their student loans. Chelsy’s friends will naturally spring to her defence, and before long, the onus is then on Chelsy to tell her side of the story. All of this may become embarrassing to the monarchy.
Things have a way of snowballing. Only time will tell.
Can’t help but feel it’s already started. They’re seems to be a general concensus in the press; Harry is determined to make a career in the armed forces , has a roving eye and Chelsy is regarded as clingy and unsupportive, basically high maintenance.
Sorry if I’m being hard on Chelsy, but she can if she wants make a career in the public eye. Whereas, PH, for all the Royal officials and PR, may find his future prospects in the armed forces limited as it did for his uncle Andrew, following the publication of Fergie having her toes sucked.
Still, as I said, only time will tell.
Catch up with you guy’s this evening, as I’m in the process of stripping wallpaper.
January 25th, 2009 08:30
I think the line will be both wanted careers that kept them apart.
I think if PR is needed it’s clearly for Kate.
January 25th, 2009 08:31
I think,if anything, Chelsy’s friends will be the problem. The unfortunate thing is, we know they have leaked/sold her pictures so one would assume that the lips will be flapping if money is offered. Then it becomes a guessing game as to what is truth and what is fiction.
I adore Harry. He is funny smart and a total cutie-pie. He makes bad choices that come back and bite him in the butt. Hopefully his relationship with Chelsy does not turn into one of them.
January 25th, 2009 12:06
Does anyone else find the break-up rather sceptical?
Maybe the break-up is a story to deceive the terror extremists who live in the Leeds/Bradford area as Harry may have received some threats towards Chelsy and himself regarding his ‘racist’ video?
Just a thought. They looked fine in Mauritius…but then again appearances are deceptive.
January 25th, 2009 12:09
A recent ex would still be a target. An old ex is still a target.
They broke up for sure, coming back later, maybe.
January 25th, 2009 12:13
Britt…Sorry to disapoint you, but no, I do think it’s really OVER this time. Frankly, I’m surpised it lasted this long.
January 25th, 2009 12:25
I think it is sad to see that they broke up. They were very cute together. I was under the impression that she was good for him. A work hard – party hard girl. He should not be together with a party/socialite girl, that would not be the best influence. And a solely work hard girl would bore him soon.
Well, they are both young, they will get over it and hopefully find happiness.
January 25th, 2009 12:40
Ked…makes a good point in his posting under another heading. concerning rivalvry.
I was surprised to read that Clarence House were being so coperative with the press, when usually they do not comment of the personal lives of the Royals. Could this I wonder be a result that both the princes now have a joint office.
As for rivalry, between the princes. I didn’t take Ked’s posting as W & H being competitive with one another. As they have both always struck me as close. Rather, what I think Ked was referring to, I think, and it’s something I to have alluded to, is to the fact that William is third in line to the throne, Harry fourth. It follows the officias are inclined to be more protective of W than H.
Ked…with regards to what you said about William is more likely to adhere to commitments in the RAF than marry Kate. It goes back to Ingrid Steward’s comments on duty, loyalty, marriage, and how William is ‘maturer’. I got the feeling their are rumblings. Not about W & K’s relationship, but rather William and his reluctance to take on full time royal duties as was expected of him back in July.
What do you think? Also, I am curious to hear what others thought of Ms Stewards remark.
Here is the link again to remind you:
http://www.majestymagazine.com/editors_letter.php
The paragraph that begins; ‘it is hard to beleive…..and then that line, ‘and love of course’. The last line reminded me of the question posed to C & D when their engagement was announced, and C’s response, ‘whatever love means’.
This is all a bit dodgy as far as I’m concerned.
January 25th, 2009 13:55
Hale, I had that same thought when I read Stewards letter! My mind went right to “whatever love means.” We must not be the only ones who have thought this and I am thinking that perhaps she did when wording it the way she did. I hope that it’s not the case w/PW as I can only see a pregnancy to be a reason for him to feel he must marry KM, if he did not really want to. I still don’t understand why KM is not seen doing/going somewhere. Perhaps that is what she must do to please the RF?
January 25th, 2009 14:00
No I think it is because that is what is easier for her gracie. I think that Kate does not want to get a job in case William proposes and she has to give it up so quickly. The problem is she really should have got a job straight after uni when it was obvious that he was not going to ask her to marry him. If she had done that then the public would still love her and many of the posters from other sites and probably this one as well, would still support her. I know that it was Kate’s reluctance to get a job which made me go from Kate supporter to Kate neutral as such (meaning I’m on the fence now).
Has CH actually made a statement about CD and PH? I thought it was just “a source”.
January 25th, 2009 14:02
Oh and may I point out that what PC actually said during the infamous engagement interview was “whatever IN love means”. I think he was questionning the “in” part rather than the “love” part of that statement. He is so often misquoted and it is very damaging for him.
January 25th, 2009 14:06
B…..Thank you for that.
January 25th, 2009 14:10
That’s okay Hale
I do agree with your point though. I’ve just been looking at quotes (little interest of mine) and I have found one which goes : “”Do not marry a person you know you can live with; marry someone that you cannot live without”. I think that’s very important, perhaps a bit cheesy and romantised but I think the meaning and the idea is correct.
January 25th, 2009 14:22
B…I agree. Gracie….As you said, I think K is staying low profile to appease RF.
January 25th, 2009 14:47
She is probably keeping low to appease the RF i.e. no clubbing etc. but what harm would there be in her getting a job? If anything it would help her reputation and as William’s reputation is affected by her actions, it would help his as well.
January 25th, 2009 15:45
Lord have mercy, the girl has a job. We have known that for sometime now. I don’t know why we have to go over this again and again. She works at PP and that’s all there is to it.
Hale, William do have some engagements lined up for this year.
January 25th, 2009 16:00
I do have mercy thank you Rman. I’m just making a point, I am very sorry if you do not agree with it.
January 25th, 2009 16:12
B, it’s not about me agreeing with you but we know Kate works and that’s a fact so why do we need to say that she don’t have a job? It don’t make sense.
January 25th, 2009 16:33
it is really a shame that working at ones family business is looked down on by so many.
I read it on so many sites. I wonder if any of these posters have worked within a family run business. The people I know that work for themselves are some of the hardest workers I know because they have a personal stake. The fact remains that until William puts a wedding ring on Kate’s finger and say’s “I do”, Kate Middleton owes no one any explanation of her work habits or how she chooses to spend her time. People seriously need to get that. Judge her once she has the title and the responsibility but not before because no one really knows what she does with her time. She is a private citizen.
January 25th, 2009 17:00
Its a venom, people are happy to cherrypick Katie Nicholls article in choosing the 2nd paragraph of her famour article of get a Real Job, but the first paragraph clearly stated that she started working for the family firm January 2008.
January 25th, 2009 17:06
Hi Everyone,
Regarding Kate working, B and Rman, you both make valid points — KM is working with her family’s business, yet many do not consider this a “proper” job and the criticism continues. Why does Kate not have a more public job? Why is she not pursuing a career in London, for example?
After all, this is a girl who, in most other ways, has put her best foot forward. She did well on her exit exams from college and university, so we know she is bright and motivated to achieve good grades. She has the focus and discipline to stick to a demanding workout regime (as evidenced by her toned, slim appearance), and according to her Mom and Belle Robinson, she is a talented, hard worker.
Could there be an explanation for her “underemployment” other than Kate’s being lazy and waity?
This question has bothered me. I also had found it so odd that she left her employment at Jigsaw without much of an explanation. After all, her employers were accommodating, and according to reports, she got on well with her co-workers. If she was simply waiting to marry Prince William, and was not interested in a career, wouldn’t Jigsaw be the perfect place to hangout? The job kept her in London and somewhat in tune with the fashion industry, in which she seems to have an interest.
She also seemed to know that she needed a job, since she sought out Belle Robinson and asked for a job with Jigsaw.
What if the reason Kate left Jigsaw and has been largely “off the radar” is something very different from what has generally been considered? What if she is not lazy and waity, but something else is preventing her from taking regular employment outside her family business?
OK, what could that possibly be? Well, as unlikely as it may seem to some of us, she could be the object of a security threat. The threat doesn’t have to be terrorists, she could have a personal stalker. Going back and forth to work in crowded London would make someone a relatively easy target.
Now, if that seems crazy, consider this: Many women become the subjects of stalkers. Several actors and actresses have recently been in the press because they have had their day in court with their stalkers. Paula Abdul had a woman commit suicide in front of her home recently. The woman had stalked Paula for years.
We, the public, do not generally hear about the stalkers. Law enforcement advises that the celebrity stalker is seeking fame by association, so the less the person is acknowledged, the better. Certainly, the BRF would not want to acknowledge such a situation publicly.
Kate potentially fits the profile of a woman being stalked–the beautiful, yet demure companion of a high-profile man. She is a little unknown, a little unattainable, characteristics that a stalker-type would find attractive.
In addition, stalkers may persist for years and can be nearly impossible to prosecute, especially if someone were asked to “ignore” the situation for fear of making the situation public knowledge. Stalkers also tend to escalate as time goes on, making themselves more of an annoyance or threat as time passes.
Now, having typed the above, I certainly hope this is not the case. I hope Kate does not have such a person (or persons) pursuing her. However, it would explain some of her work-related behavior in a different light.
At the least, perhaps we should consider that there may be valid reasons unknown to the general public why Kate does not currently work outside her family business.
January 25th, 2009 17:12
Stephanie,what you have pointed out is one of many scenarios that could very well exist. We don’t know. Kate is a private citizen and what she does with her time is her business. Period. People seriously need to move on from this issue. The sad thing is that one of the reasons why the media and others have attached themselves to this “waity Katey” concept is that the girls is squeaky clean otherwise. They have nothing on her. Nothing. This is the best they can do. It is so foolish and immature.
January 25th, 2009 17:28
Totally agree, aside from the constant denial that she was being hounded by the paparazzo. They simply cannot get it even if the toppest of the top of the Judicial System said Kate was being hounded.
January 25th, 2009 17:38
Lisa,
I agree. My point also is that the public does not know why Kate has the work history she has. Given the unusual circumstances she finds herself in, perhaps it is circumstances outside her own control that keep her from choosing a more high-profile career path.
However, bottom line, we do not know Kate’s reasons, and perhaps need to be less judgmental!
January 25th, 2009 18:01
EVERYONE FINGER’S CROSSED! A wedding announcement will end all that ‘waity katey’ nonsense. But I should like to throw something into the hat here.
Do you remember that viddy that (I think) Maddie posted? The one where W & K emerge from the club and we hear K say unbelievable?
When I first watched that, I thought to myself, Kate if you think this is bad are you in for a shock. I’ve since watched it several times and I couldn’t help but stop and think what that would feel like, knowing the paps expectations of an engagement, and to date it hasn’t happened.
How humilating is that. No one in the press, ever credits or acknowledges all those hurts and jibes she is forced to endure.
Stiff Upper Lip. wonderful characteristic to have for a future Q of E.
January 25th, 2009 18:03
Now that is true Hale.
January 25th, 2009 18:11
Kate’s ability to endure the media glare is a quality that she possesses and one that will serve her well when the time comes. It can’t be easy. She has the backbone and has demonstrated it time and time again. How many years has it been since the(in)famous fashion show at St Andrews? 6 or 7? Thats a long time to put up with this manure.
January 25th, 2009 18:46
Stephanie
you are being too dramatic.
There are many famous people who are also targets and have a job. KM could not be a target because she is not royal yet, so why would someone consider her a target? Yes she is pretty and there could be a stalker, but if all pretty girls thought that way, then all jobs from UK would be full of ugly girls and all pretty girls would be hiding in their houses. Sorry but I think this is ridiculous. Diana also became famous when she started dating PC and yet she managed to have a job(even though she didnt have a degree).
KM working for her family is something that she started doing recently(when she realized that her reputation was diclining), but what did she do before that? She only had a job for all these yrs, a job in which she got privileges and to which she wasnt really committed.
She is dating the future king on England, and yes Lisa, I agree, she is not royal yet and she is free to do whatever she wants, but since she is dating the future king she should have considered showing that she is a productive person(as she is showing it now) ever since the beggining (and not just recently) so that she would find favor with the people in the UK.
She cant just go by and saying I am not royal so I am free to do whatever I want and I dont have to please the people. She cant do that because even though she is not royal, still she is dating a royal and she has to present a good image about her for the future.
Do your understand my point?
January 25th, 2009 18:58
Clarence House does it
January 25th, 2009 19:05
I think Kate is doing fine. She keeps a low profile, does not talk to the press and is quietly working with her family. It’s obviously fine with William and thats really all that matters at this juncture. Once she has a title,she will be required to take on engagements and work. If she fails to carry out her duties as a royal,then the public can complain. Right now,Kate Middleton can sit home eating pudding all day and it is none of anyone business.
January 25th, 2009 19:58
Lisa
I agree. What KM does right now is none of anyone’s business she doesn’t have to please anyone but herself unless she becomes engaged like you said and then she is public property. A lot of people are very judgmental without knowing any facts. Anyone close to the RF is a threat, which is probably why from time to time Kate has bodyguards. I do remember several times reading that Chelsy had been the source of terror threats after PH went to Afghanistan so it is completely feasible that Kate could have had something similar, probably even more so because William is first in line to the throne.
There is a new DM article about the split with Harry and Chelsy. It is very negative towards KM but states that Chelsy has been under a lot of strain while dating PH and that it has negatively affected her parents business.
January 25th, 2009 19:59

January 25th, 2009 20:04
here is another CD PH article. The last couple of sentences about PW and KM. Interesting.
http://tinyurl.com/asfdz4
January 25th, 2009 20:09
And you know what although I hate to compare the two girls but I’ll do it once here. Lisa makes a good point in that one of the only things that the media can pick on Kate about it her work ethic. It is very funny that Chelsy has a father who has business dealings with a man who commits genocide on a daily basis, parties like a rockstar and has had many many unsavory pictures pop up on the internet and she was seen as “fantastic” because she worked & is supposedly career driven?? It makes you wonder about the way that individuals such as Sonia judge people… Chelsy though is also a private citizen and did please herself! I actually liked both girls very much and thought they both suited their princes. I don’t envy either of their positions it’s tough.
January 25th, 2009 20:26
Lisa…Scrolling back, agree with all your posts.
Sonia, I understand the point you are making about Kate’s years after Uni and before PP.
Perhaps, the realization of whom she was going out with really didn’t hit untill after leaving Uni.
Whilst W was at Uni, there was a gentleman’s agreement with the press not to report on W’s movements.
During their time at Uni, they both met, moved in with one & other (I know they try to gloss that one over) and had as normal a relationship as any two young students could.
When K entered the wide world, what a huge shock that must have been. All her movements were detailed, her dress sense under scrutiny, never being allowed to answer/respond to any comment made about her. How dis-orientating all of that must have been.
However, she ran the gauntlet and to date has survived and is on track. Three cheers for her.
January 25th, 2009 20:28
I had a feeling the comparisons would start. The thing that bothers me is if KM is closer to marrying PW, why they would allow her to be fodder in the PH/CD demise? If CD does not want to be in the RF fine, but does KM have to knocked because she has made a different choice? Plus its sad that whoever is leaking the CD sob story to the press includes KM , when English says KM called to say she was sorry to CD. I guess that gets lost in all the garbage!
January 25th, 2009 20:48
gracie…I’m with you on that one.
Meanwhile, I’m calling it a night.
Goodnight…Godbless…and may your God go with you.
January 25th, 2009 20:59
gracie, I find that article by Rebecca English completely unbelievable. Too many quotes from unnamed sources. I doubt we have the whole story and that is fine because it is Harry and Chelsy’s business but that article is 90% fiction in my opinion. Rebecca could not help herself. She had to drag Kate into the mess. I am sure Kate’s loyalities are quite clear and she has the sense to keep her distance.
January 25th, 2009 22:10
Lisa, this is what I’m trying to tell everyone here. Lot of the stories you are going to read about this split will not be true and quotes will be made up.
January 25th, 2009 22:17
It is so unbelievable, Lisa. She just went with whatever she was thinking in her head without any sources. It is very sad that she had to drag Kate into it. I always believed Harry and Chelsy would not marry. She is too much of a free spirit who seems to enjoy living life to the fullest and I could hardly picture her being happy in the RF. It is ironic how everyone thought the PDA between harry and chelsy showed how strong of a couple they were and how will and kate weren’t affectionate in public. Yet they are still together. I am sad CD and PH broke up, but do feel it will be better for them both.
January 25th, 2009 22:39
The only two people who will truly know what happened to cause the split are Chelsy and Harry. I do agree that lots of people will try to figure it out. There will be lots of reasons given in the press.Right now the press would do well to leave them alone. This is a hard time for both of them. The do not need every move disected. I do wish them both well. I am pulling for William and Kate that their relationship will stay strong.
January 25th, 2009 23:17
lets us not be so innocent as to what’s happening to CD and PH.
It is obvious, PH was a playboy who flirted with other girls(there are proves of that) and any girl who is dating PH would be fed up by these types of behaviors. There may be more intimate and precise details as to why they broke up, but although we dont know for sure exactly why, we already have an idea of what was happening.
This is what happens when you date a famous person. That is why I wouldnt consider dating a prince or a famous singer/actor something great.
We all know how famous people fail in their relationships. It is very rare that a famous couple succeeds. Actors/singer/princes whatever the case is are all the time around pretty girls who will catch their eye and most likely these famous guys will end up cheating on their wives or girlfriends. Look at the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie/ Jenn Aniston case. This case is just one of the thousand cases.
God rid me from ever dating these types of guys. I am serious.
January 25th, 2009 23:26
P.S.
I forgot to mention PW. If he ever marries KM, I dont doubt he may end up having mistresses. This is something all famous guys have. And why not, he is a very popular person and will be all the time around pretty girls and these girls will not think it twice in becoming his mistress. So do you think he would never do it, oh yea you are right!!!
This has been a royal tradition, all kings have had mistresses and although PW seems to be a very serious responsible person, once he gets to power, he may change. I read an article about prince philip cheating on queen elizabeth (back then princess elizabeth) and he seems not to be that kind of person.
January 26th, 2009 09:23
I can’t figure out whether it’s Katie Nicholls or Rebecca English who’s Rita Skeeter.
