Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy 'back together'

Prince Harry has rekindled his five-year romance with Chelsy Davy, eight months after she dumped him on Facebook.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the couple have had a string of clandestine meetings, with Chelsy visiting Harry at both his London residence, Clarence House, and at the property he shares with his brother Prince William while training with the Army Air Corps at RAF Shawbury in Shropshire.

The Prince is understood to have instigated the meetings, and the pair have been in regular contact by phone since Chelsy stayed over at Clarence House at the end of July.

Reunited: Harry and Chelsy, pictured last year, are giving their romance 'another shot' after eight months apart

Sources close to both Harry and Chelsy said last night that the couple want to give their relationship ‘another shot’, but they have agreed to keep a low profile in order to give it a better chance of working out.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Harry and Chelsy are back on, but they are keeping things very low key. They want to take it very slowly and are determined to keep things quiet.

‘Chelsy in particular finds the media attention when she’s with Harry very hard to bear. They don’t want any pressure and have decided to keep the news very much between themselves.

‘You certainly won’t see them out clubbing together, but they have been meeting up in secret over the past few weeks to talk about their future and whether they actually have one. Harry has missed Chelsy hugely and is desperate for things to work.’

Their reunion is said to have been instigated by the Prince and the pair have been meeting in secret in recent weeks to talk about their future

In June the Prince was briefly linked with Sky Sports presenter Caroline Flack, but a friend  insisted: ‘Harry has had a few flings, but they have not been serious. He still holds a flame for Chelsy, but they both have to work out whether the relationship can work.’

Zimbabwe-born Chelsy, who is due to start work with City legal firm Allen & Overy this month, has been linked to several men over the summer, including property developer Dan Philipson and nightclub promoter Dominic Rose.

She was photographed with Dominic on a group holiday in Portugal in July – but sources insist the fling is not serious.

The couple are keen to keep their rekindled relationship under the radar

Shortly after that holiday, Chelsy, 23, and Harry, 24, met up again. A source said: ‘Harry suggested it. She stayed over at Clarence House. They are both very cautious about getting back together and probably a little bit scared, but they have definitely been seeing each other.

‘There is still a big physical attraction between them and Harry has told Chelsy he hasn’t met anyone he really cares about since they split.’

The Prince was said to be deeply hurt when Chelsy changed her status on the social networking website Facebook from ‘in a relationship’ to ‘single’ after the couple had a huge row in January.

Another pal added: ‘Chelsy is looking forward to her new job. She would love things to work out with Harry but she has told him he has to prove his love and commitment before it’s serious.’

A spokesman for the Palace last night declined to comment.
