Chelsy Yvonne Davy (born 13 October 1985) is a Zimbabwean national who was the on-off girlfriend of Prince Harry from early 2004 to 2011.
Chelsy Davy was born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, to Charles Davy, a South African safari farmer, and Beverley Donald Davy, a former Coca-Cola model and Miss Rhodesia 1973. She has a younger brother, Shaun, and grew up at her family's homestead in the Lemco Safari Area.
Her father Charles is one of the largest private landowners in Zimbabwe, and is reported to own 1,200 km² (460 mi²) of land. He maintains business ties with controversial politician Webster Shamu, of whom he has said, "I am in partnership with a person who I personally like and get along with". Davy's father was also reported to have a close relationship with Zimbabwe's president, Robert Mugabe, but dismissed this as "a spate of rubbish" in the wake of his daughter's relationship with Prince Harry, telling The Daily Telegraph: "I am in business. Not politics." After being criticized by the press, however, Charles Davy sold his share in the business.
Davy was briefly educated at Cheltenham College (not Cheltenham Ladies' College as has been widely reported), before moving to Stowe School in Buckinghamshire.
Davy received a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Cape Town in 2006, and a law degree (LLB) from Leeds University in 2009. She began an internship for Farrer & Company in December 2008, but instead of accepting a permanent position at the firm, she took a second gap year. In September 2011, Davy began work as a trainee solicitor at London law firm Allen & Overy. In late 2014, however, Davy decided to quit her position at the firm.
After her relationship with Prince Harry ended in 2010, Davy spent several months in South Africa, then resumed her job at a London law firm.
