In a fresh take on Prince Harry's past romantic history, Lady Colin Campbell, British socialite and royal author, has disputed the Duke of Sussex's claim that media pressure led to the end of his relationship with former girlfriend, Chelsy Davy. Campbell, sharing her viewpoint on GB News, opined that Davy's decision to part ways with the prince was more personal than Harry portrays it to be.

Contrary to Prince Harry's assertion that relentless press intrusion contributed to Davy determining that "a royal life was not for her," Campbell suggested that the prince was off target. She asserted that it was not just royal life that Davy didn't want; she didn't want a life with Harry either, indicating a deeper root to their break up.

Campbell criticized Harry, saying, "Harry's perpetually disaffected. Harry also needs an excuse for why he is a failure and why his whole life has unraveled." She accused him of using the press as a scapegoat for his relationship failures, instead of acknowledging that he wasn't able to meet Davy's long-term expectations.

Notably, royal biographer Phil Dampier has previously referred to Davy as Prince Harry's TOTGA, or "the one that got away," suggesting that Harry might have been more contented had he married Davy instead of his current wife, Meghan Markle. This sentiment is echoed by English journalist and royal author Andrew Morton, who stated to New Idea that Chelsy Davy could have been the perfect match for Prince Harry.

Morton cited the extensive time the couple spent together, and Davy's inability to cope with the continuous publicity as the main reasons for their breakup. He went on to contrast Davy with Meghan Markle, drawing attention to the latter's comfort with the limelight due to her previous career as an actress.

In Morton's words, "Now, by contrast, we have someone who is an actress, who was used to treading the red carpet, who [is] in the tradition of a Grace Kelly kind of character. Because after all, royalty is about theatre, and Meghan [knows] all about that."

Despite the contrasting views, the truth of Prince Harry's split with Davy remains a subjective matter, dependent on personal perspectives and interpretations.
