Prince Harry has proposed to his Zimbabwe-born girlfriend Chelsy Davy — but is being forced to keep the happy news a secret by a disapproving palace.
Senior royals have scotched 22-year-old Harry’s plans to walk down the aisle before his older brother William, whose relationship with former girlfriend Kate Middleton remains under question, amid rumours of a reconciliation and a string of secret dates.
“Both Harry and Chelsy realise that no engagement announcement is possible just yet,” says a royal source.
“His family believe that at 22, Harry is too young to marry and can’t do so without his grandmother the Queen’s permission, until he is 25.”
“Chelsy is her own person and that’s what Harry loves about her,” says a royal source. “Despite the pressures from his family, Harry is determined to marry her — even if he has to wait three years to make the announcement.”
