Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be happily married with kids, but Harry’s ex-girlfriends simply could not envisage themselves doing the same.
Why Did Prince Harry’s Ex-Girlfriends Leave Him?
Prior to Harry settling down with Meghan, he was very close to Chelsy Davy who had been his first-ever girlfriend. They had known each other during their time in school, which created a bond that was very strong. However, after having witnessed Prince William and Kate Middleton’s weddings, Chelsy knew that this was not the life she had wanted.
She struggled to deal with the attention that the Royal family were getting and knew that something similar might be in line for her if she walked down the aisle. According to Royal expert Robert Lacey in his book ‘Battle of Brothers’, William’s wedding was the last straw.
He remarked: “According to a friend, she told Harry that she could never make the scarifies she had witnessed Kate making, particularly when it came to moulding her life around the unremitting attention of the press.” And yet, this was not the only story. Harry would go on to date Cressida Bonas from 2012 for a period of two years.
The model/actress was used to the cameras, but this was nothing like she had seen before. And it was during Kate and William’s Royal tour that he realised just how much she would have to give up to settle down in the Royal family.
Robert added: “A rising actress, Cressida did not enjoy the critical remarks that she could hear people making behind her back when she walked down the street in London – she felt that the fame of her relationship put her ‘in a box.” This would explain why Harry decided to leave the Royal family with Meghan.
He knew that a potential partner would face similar challenges, and he wanted to avoid having his heart broken once again. Although Harry and Meghan have ruffled a few feathers with their controversial interview with Oprah on CBS, they have managed to live a life of independence.
And looking back, Harry could not have made a better decision, as the couple are on course to become billionaires. Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
