After seven years together, their relationship ended in 2010, but Chelsy Davy says she and Prince Harry will always remain close.

Opening up on their relationship to Sunday Times Style magazine, the 30-year-old says they will “always be good friends.”
They split six years ago but Chelsy was still invited to (and attended) Prince William and Duchess Kate’s wedding in 2011.
Chelsy and the Prince, 30, have friends in the same circle, including other royals, celebrities and Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie.
She also went to his 30th birthday in 2014, along with Harry’s other ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
Last year, rumours were swirling that Harry and Chelsy may get back together after The Sun reported that the pair secretly met up over summer.
A friend of the ex-couple said: “Harry still holds a candle for her. They saw each other recently. There’s still very much something between them. He has never fallen out of love with Chelsy.”
“There’s still very much something between them, but Chelsy won’t commit yet because she doesn’t want to lead a life in the spotlight,” the insider said.
The source continued: “Harry’s very sensitive to that. She’s not like other girls; she’s strong, independent and a rule-breaker. She does everything on her own terms.”
Chelsy worked as a trainee solicitor until 2014, and now is the founder of an African-based jewellery company called Aya. She divides her time between her home in Chelsea, England, and Zimbabwe, where her parents live and own a farm.
The two met in 2004 in Cape Town, South Africa, while the Royal was on a gap year, and Chelsy met the Queen four years later at the wedding of Harry’s cousin Peter Phillips to Autumn Kelly.
Following Prince William and Kate’s wedding, Chelsy reportedly said that a life of Princess was “not one” for her.
Fans of the late Michael Jackson will be able to gain insight into the music legend’s last days as his story makes it to television screens.
Acclaimed Hollywood director J.J. Abrams is teaming up with Warner Bros. Television and author Tavis Smiley to turn his book Before You Judge Me: The Triumph and Tragedy of Michael Jackson’s Last Days into a miniseries.
The book, which will be released later this month, details the singer’s final months and “examines the soaring highs and deep lows faced by the late pop star — his constant hunt for privacy in a life that was more public than almost any other, and the pressures he endured as someone whose fame made him socially fragile and almost unable to live.”
The miniseries will be produced by the Star Trek director’s company Bad Robot Productions. Last year, J.J. and Tavis also announced that they’d be turning the author’s book about Martin Luther King Jr. into an event series.
A network has yet to be announced for Before You Judge Me, but the studio is expected to shop it around to cable, network and streaming services.
The Thriller singer passed away in 2009 just weeks before he was set to embark on a comeback tour. The footage from his rehearsals were later turned into a movie titled Michael Jackson’s This Is It.

Meanwhile, the former child star’s daughter Paris has recently made headlines after she hit back at critics for not posting a Father’s Day tribute to her late dad.
“If you try to harass someone into posting online about a holiday (fathers day), ask yourself if it’s any of your business,” the 18-year-old wrote on Sunday.
A US mother, Stacey Wehrman Feeley, snapped a photo of her daughter balancing on top of a toilet seat because she thought it seemed cute.
But then she discovered the chilling secret behind it. Her three-year-old daughter, Chandler, was practising how to hide if a shooter were to enter her preschool.
Stacey was shocked and hurt that the gravity of such ludicrous gun laws were now having an impact on her innocent and frightened toddler in a place that SHOULD be safe.
Stacey took to social media to share the story to show how far these gun laws have gone.
She wrote: “I took this picture because initially I thought it was funny. I was going to send it to my husband to show what our mischievous little three-year-old was up to. However, the moment she told me what she was doing I broke down. She was practising for a lockdown drill at her preschool and what you should do if you are stuck in a bathroom. At that moment all innocence of what I thought my three-year-old possessed was gone.
“Politicians – take a look. This is your child, your children, your grandchildren, your great grand children and future generations to come. They will live their lives and grow up in this world based on your decisions. They are barely 3 and they will hide in bathroom stalls standing on top of toilet seats. I do not know what will be harder for them? Trying to remain quiet for an extended amount of time or trying to keep their balance without letting a foot slip below the stall door?”
She then discusses gun control and urges action.
“I am not pretending to have all the answers or even a shred of them, but unless you want your children standing on top of a toilet, we need to do something!” She also links to a Facebook activist group called Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
The post has been shared almost 5,500 times and we hope it serves as a clear reminder the damage gun violence has on the world.
Although one might expect Prince William to celebrate the morning of his birthday alongside his loving wife Duchess Catherine and their two beautiful children, the handsome royal will, in fact, be waking up in France.
On Monday evening – the eve of his 34th birthday – the dapper chap cheered from the sidelines of a soccer match between England and Slovakia, situated in the picturesque French city of Saint Etienne.
The Prince, also president of the Football Association, flew to the Saint-Exupery airport in Lyon to arrive just in time for the match, where he cheered excitedly alongside chairman Greg Dyke in a dark blue suit adorned with a striped blue, red and white tie.
Before kick-off, the second in line to the British throne joined in on a resounding chorus of the English National Anthem, God Save the Queen.
After a good night’s rest, the father of George, two, and Charlotte, one, will make his way back to England in the early morning, where we’re sure his loving family will be waiting with presents, cake and a whole lot of cuddles.
The royal’s 34th birthday marks his third year as a father, and incidentally sits just days after the UK and the US celebrate Father’s Day.
In celebration of the special day, the proud papa spent the morning at a Heads Together Father’s Day breakfast with fellow dads, mentors and children, bringing to light the importance of mental health.
“Today I celebrate my third Father’s Day as a father,” he wrote in an article on the Heads Together site.

“For me it is a day not just to celebrate how fortunate I am for my young family, but to reflect on just how much I’ve learned about fatherhood and the issues facing fathers in all walks of life.”
“In particular, it is a time to reflect on my responsibility to look after not just the physical health of my two children, but to treat their mental needs as just as important a priority.”
William will spend the rest of his special day “privately” with his family in their home at Anmer Hall, Norfolk.
An emotional wake was held yesterday for Lane Graves, the two-year-old boy who was killed by an alligator last week.
The hour-long service was open to the public and took place at the Graves’ family place of worship, St Patrick Catholic Church in Elkhorn, Nebraska.
The boy’s parents, Matthew and Melissa, have been blown away by the support they’ve received from complete strangers who are grieving along with them.
The family said in a statement: “Melissa and I continue to deal with the loss of our beloved boy, Lane, and are overwhelmed with support and love we have received from family and friends in our community as well as from around the country.
“Neither Melissa, myself or anyone from our family will be speaking publicly; we simply cannot at this time.”
Lane was paddling in the shallow water at Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort last Tuesday when he was snatched by an alligator.
After a 15-hour search, the toddler’s body was found.
A funeral will be held today at 10am (local time).
An American man is currently in custody after he allegedly killed his father and then hid his body in a freezer.
27-year-old Omar Carmona was charged with first-degree murder and third-degree desecration of a corpse, PEOPLE reports.
He allegedly told police he got into a fight with his father, Marco, because his father wouldn’t stand guard for him while he was taking a shower.
According to the probable cause statement obtained by PEOPLE, Omar allegedly chocked his father for 20 minutes while his father struggled to get away.
He then placed his father’s body and phone in the freezer.
He then allegedly went to his father’s truck and took some money to buy a drink.
It is believed the alleged attack was the result of “some kind of paranoid delusion bought about by some mental illness,” Randy Kennard, Deputy Utah County Attorney said.
He is currently being held in jail and is scheduled to appear in court on June 23.
Television presenter and news reporter Georgia Love has confirmed she’s the next Bachelorette for the Australian TV series!
The plucky brunette has revealed she quit her job as a Tasmanian presenter on WIN News to join the hit reality dating show with a mission to find love.
“I’ve gotten to a point in my life where I’ve realised I want to prioritise myself more than my career and the thing that is missing is love,” she revealed to The Daily Telegraph.
“This is my number one focus right now.”
But quitting her job for love hasn’t made things less stressful, if anything she said it’s made it scarier.
“That makes the whole thing even scarier and exciting and more daunting because I’ve worked really hard my whole career to get to this point.”
“I’ve loved what I’ve done but this is how serious I am that I want to find somebody and I want to settle down, that I’ve actually taken a step away from all that,” the 27-year-old confessed.
Georgia describes herself as “your girl next door, but far from average”.
