Prince Harry – it is appropriate to say – now an open book. With the publication of his long-awaited and spoiled memoirs Fire. Il Minore (published in Italy by Mondadori) does not confine itself to addressing the painful memory of his mother Diana, to whom the book is dedicated, but traces chapters that we considered closed forever. The first example is historical ex-girlfriend Chelsea Devi, with whom the second son Carlo had a long and problematic relationship until the final break. The couple really stayed on such good terms that in 2011 they were invited to the wedding of William and Kate, and in 2018 to the wedding of Harry and Meghan.
They first met in 2004. when Davy, ’84, was at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. She later earned a business degree from the University of Cape Town in 2006 and a law degree (LLB) from the University of Leeds in 2009. Harry writes in the book that he met Chelsea many years before they started dating. When he visited Cape Town, South Africa, in March 2004, he realized that he already knew someone who lived there. “I met someone many years ago, a girl from South Africa. At the Berkshire polo club. Chelsea. I remember she was… different,” wrote the prince, who wanted to invite her to dinner.
When Harry called her, she didn’t believe it was really him, and when she finally convinced herself it was him, she didn’t want to accept the invitation just for herself. “She asked if she could bring her friend. And her brother. “Certainly! The more the merrier,” she replied. It was then that he got to know her better and discovered that she was far from the girl he dated, too preoccupied with her royal title.. “Unlike so many people I knew, she seemed completely indifferent to appearance, decorum, royalty. Unlike many girls I’ve met, she clearly didn’t fit the crown the moment she shook my hand. sometimes called throne syndrome.”
It is not surprising that love at first sight arose between them. “I’ve always wanted to know what it’s like to meet a woman and her eyes don’t go round at the mention of my title, but instead I expand them myself, using my mind, my heart. With Chelsea it seemed like a real possibility. She was not only not interested in my title, but it seemed boring to her. Oh, are you a prince? I yawn. Apparently she didn’t know anything about his family.perhaps not even the death of his mother Diana. And then, when he joined the army and went to fight in Afghanistan, he always tried to protect her from any alarmist news about him. Deep down he was glad she didn’t read the press. “I would be worried to hear all of this, Chels, but ever since we started dating, the press has been following her so much that she has gone completely offline. Documents for it did not exist. The internet was banned.” It seems that he even considered leaving the army for her sake and that she was “torn”, torn between the relief of meeting him in the hall and the realization of how much he believed in this mission. “I explained that this is what I had to do, what I wanted to do all my life, and that I needed to do it with all my heart and soul. anyone else, well…sorry.”
Years passed, and now the incompatibility of lifestyles became more and more obvious. “Distance, different life goals were too great. It was difficult enough to maintain relations in one country, but when I was going to war, it seemed simply impossible. Their relationship, which lasted up and down until 2010, was described by the UK media as somewhat “tumultuous” and they did break up and get back together several times before finally separating in 2010.She likes me. He loves me I think. But she doesn’t like the baggage that comes with me, she doesn’t like everything to do with reality, print, and so on, and none of that will ever go away. So what is the hope?he once told her mother Teej. Worried about what his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and the British public would think of Chelsea’s carefree attitude, he would never ask his girlfriend to change for her. The last thing I wanted was for Chelsea to change to accommodate them. [la regina Elisabetta e il resto della royal family]. I so wanted to be a husband, a father… but I wasn’t sure. “It takes a certain type of person to resist scrutiny, Teej, and I don’t know if Chels can handle that. I don’t know if I want to ask her to sort this out.”
“I told her I would try. I told her how sorry I am. When she returned to Cape Town, she called me and said that people follow her everywhere, and it drives her crazy. She couldn’t imagine how they always knew where she was and where she would be.. He was furious.” Years later, private investigator Gavin Burrows stated in a BBC documentary that Davy’s messages had been targeted and his voicemail hacked in an attempt by the media to gather information about Prince Harry. “Chels again said she wasn’t sure. she was ready for it. A life of persecution? What could I say? I would have missed it, so much. But I perfectly understood his desire for freedom. If I could choose, I wouldn’t even want this life.”
In the end, the breakup was final, albeit painful and very painful for both of them.. However, the two remained on such great terms that the Zimbabwean born daughter of a South African farmer, former Coca-Cola model and Miss Rhodesia 1973 winner, attended not only William and Kate’s wedding in 2011, but also Harry himself with Megan in 2018. Over 500 book pages Firethere is also room for reminiscing about the moments and feelings he had when he saw her again at his brother’s wedding.. When he met her, Harry writes that it was “difficult”. “There were still a lot of feelings, feelings that I repressed, feelings that I didn’t know I had. I also felt some envy of the hungry men who followed her, surrounded her, pestered her to dance. And concludes: “Jealousy got the better of me that night, and I told him what made me feel even worse. It’s kind of pitiful.”
