(Newser) – Prince Harry and his long-time girlfriend Chelsy Davy have parted ways, according to the Telegraph. Davy reportedly decided that their often long-distance romance and Harry's military lifestyle were too much of a strain. The prince is beginning a training program with an army helicopter unit that would have kept the couple apart again for months. Their split comes on the heels of recent gossip that the couple would marry, as Davy appeared at more royal functions.

Honestly, she should have realized it was a short relationship and nothing more. If it was a sure thing, best believe the Queen Mother would have had an active role.
