Prince Harry's former flame, 39-year-old entrepreneur and mum-of-two Chelsy Davy, has taken to social media to showcase her latest jewellery line.
The businesswoman, who was romantically linked with the prince from 2004 to 2010, wowed her followers as she posed in pieces from her new Aya Essentials collection.
Now married to Sam Cutmore-Scott, Chelsy shared a light-hearted caption with a photo where her hair is playfully tousled: "Hats off to models.... this s*** is hard. Attempting to model the new Aya Essentials collection. Link in bio for better pics."
While Chelsy remains a public figure through her business ventures, she has managed to maintain a level of privacy that might have been unattainable had she pursued a life with Prince Harry.
She reportedly shunned royal life due to privacy concerns, reports OK!, a sentiment echoed in Prince Harry's 2023 memoir Spare, where he noted her indifference to his title.
"Unlike so many people I knew, she seemed wholly unconcerned with appearances, with propriety, with royalty. Unlike so many girls I met, she wasn't visibly fitting herself for a crown the moment she shook my hand," he wrote.
Harry admired Chelsy's lack of interest in his royal status, stating: "She seemed immune to that common affliction sometimes called throne syndrome. I'd always wanted to know what it might be like to meet a woman and not have her eyes widen at the mention of my title but instead to widen them myself, using my mind, my heart."

He added: "With Chelsy, that seemed a real possibility. Not only was she uninterested in my title, she seemed bored by it. 'Oh, you're a prince? Yawn.'"
Even though their connection could have led to something more substantial, the pair faced challenges due to intense media scrutiny. Harry shared that Chelsy found it tough handling the paparazzi, who dogged her steps all the way to her university lectures.
"Chels told me that paps had been following her to and from lectures-she asked me to do something about it. I told her I'd try. I told her how sorry I was. When she was back in Cape Town she phoned me and said people were tailing her everywhere and it was driving her crazy," he recounted.
In spite of the pressures, Chelsy has maintained a dignified silence on most matters regarding their past romance, only once admitting that dealing with the press was occasionally "scary". Nonetheless, she was present at Prince Harry's marriage to Meghan Markle in 2018.
