Harry shores up his relationship: Prince makes time for girlfriend Chelsy Davy during his official tour of Africa

Lazy days: Prince Harry at a beachside bar in Cape Town, with Chelsy Davy and a friend, on Tuesday


When Chelsy Davy announced that she was giving up on her life in England and moving back to Africa, it didn't look good for her relationship with Prince Harry.

So perhaps it's no surprise that Harry quickly found a window in his official tour of the continent to devote two days to his girlfriend.

On Tuesday, the two chain-smoked and chatted for more than an hour as they had lunch with a friend at the fashionable Grand Cafe restaurant in Granger Bay, Cape Town.


Going: Miss Davy at Ascot last week


Then they returned to the beachside apartment owned by Miss Davy's multi-millionaire father.

There will surely have been some difficult moments during the pair's summit.

Days ago, Harry's girlfriend of six years revealed that she was going to quit her legal training in England to be closer to her family, based in Zambia.

And although royal sources say the couple, who holidayed in Zambia this month, are still 'very much an item', friends warn Miss Davy's decision has put a strain on the relationship.

Harry took time out with the 24-year-old before he heads to New York for a charity polo match at the weekend. But there will be little chance for the Prince, 25, to work on his relationship in the near future.

He is about to start a gruelling training course with the Army Air Corps to be an Apache attack helicopter pilot, with the promise of a return to Afghanistan's frontline in 18 months. And his timetable will permit few chances to visit Africa.

However, that is where Miss Davy's heart is, a friend has said. 'The only way I can see this relationship working in the long term is for Harry to give up his royal life in England and move to Africa. But it's unlikely he'll ever be allowed to do that.

'For now, they are just going to take things as they come.'
