• Harry says relationship with Chelsy Davey was hampered by his position.
• Chels was often bothered by the excessive media attention.
•  The couple split up in 2010 after six years together.

Prince Harry discusses how his relationship with his girlfriend Chelsy Davy was hampered by his position as a royal prince.

In his memoir “Spare,” the Duke of Sussex reveals that Chels was often bothered by the excessive media attention she got because of being a love interest to one of the Britain heirs.

He says: “Chels and I learned an important lesson. Africa was Africa…but Britain was always Britain. Soon after we arrived back at Heathrow we were papped. Never fun for me, but not a shock either. There’d been a few years, after Mummy disappeared, when I’d hardly ever been papped, but now it was constant.”

He writes: “I advised Chelsy to treat it like a chronic illness, something to be managed. But she wasn’t sure she wanted to have a chronic illness. I told her I understood. Perfectly valid feeling. But this was my life, and if she wanted to share any part of it, she’d have to share this too. You get used to it, I lied.”

After dating the Duke of Sussex for six years, Chelsy and Harry split up in 2010.
