Prince Harry, Davy end relationship

Prince Harry has reportedly been dumped by his girlfriend of five years, Chelsy Davy.

The split came after the Zimbabwean student decided that she could no longer cope with the pressures of the Prince's military career, reports the Mail On Sunday.

A military insider said that the Prince has just embarked on an intensive 18-month training course with the Army Air Corps and will have little time for anything else, while a Royal aide said that the split was "amicable".

"It's all very recent and has come as something of a shock. They are a couple who were very much in love, it just seems to be the case that it was the right person for Harry but the wrong time. They are still very young, so who knows what will happen," the source said.

The couple first met in 2004 and their relationship was confirmed several months later when Prince William told a reporter that his brother was "madly in love".
