Oh I am so sad! I hope this isn't true, they were so good together and she would have been great for the RF. 
Chelsy dumps Prince Harry over Army life... and she's ALREADY changed her Facebook status to 'not in one'

Prince Harry has split from his girlfriend Chelsy Davy, after she decided that she could no longer cope with the pressures of his military career.
Chelsy, 23, who has just returned from a holiday in South Africa and Mozambique, has told friends their five-year relationship is over.
The news leaked out after she altered her profile on the social networking website Facebook to read: ‘Relationship: Not in one’.

Last night a senior Royal source confirmed the couple had separated, just three weeks after they returned from a romantic break in Mauritius.
The Prince, promoted to lieutenant last April after a ten-week tour of Afghanistan, was
also said to be worried about the strains on the relationship after recently starting an arduous 18-month training course with the Army Air Corps.
A military source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Harry’s training is going to be seriously demanding and he has been told there will be little time for girlfriends and socialising.
'He is living in a modest room with a single bed and won’t be allowed to drink from Monday to Friday, and he will need to knuckle down.’
However, the split will be a blow for the 24-year-old Prince, coming so soon after the race row that followed the release of a home-made video in which Harry was heard to refer to a fellow cadet at Sandhurst as a ‘little Paki’.
Zimbabwean Chelsy, who is studying a postgraduate law course at Leeds University, had recently spoken of plans to relocate to the UK and make London her full-time home in order to be closer to her boyfriend.
Prince Harry's split from girlfriend Chelsy Davy is blamed on his commitments in the Army
They discussed the idea during their New Year holiday to Mauritius, but Chelsy called
off their relationship last week after reconsidering her future.
Sources in Royal circles believe that the move is a permanent one. A senior aide said: ‘Harry has said it’s all over with Chelsy, but he has insisted it is 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.’
Chelsy has told friends she is now reassessing her future. She had planned to join City law firm Allen & Overy after her graduation later this year. The company confirmed: ‘We did offer her a place and she has accepted.’

But last night friends said Chelsy would probably move back to South Africa now the relationship is over.
‘Chelsy has told us it’s over and it looks to be permanent because the last time they split, Chelsy never changed her Facebook status,’ a source said last night. ‘This time she has made a point of doing so.
‘She said the reason they split is because they just don’t get enough time together and Harry’s Army course has put a lot of pressure on them.
‘He’s told her it has to come before anything, and she’s a bit fed up of always coming second.
‘She was prepared to make a big sacrifice by moving to the UK. She had her job lined up and a place to live in London. She’s a very bright girl who wants to be a successful lawyer, but that’s all up in the air now.
‘She misses South Africa so much that I imagine she will move back if things are over with Harry for good. She finds the weather here really depressing and she suffers terribly from homesickness.
‘She has just returned from a beach holiday with friends. That’s when she decided to call the relationship off.
‘She and Harry had an incredible holiday together, but after he left, she really started thinking and realised he wouldn’t have much time with her during his training with the Army.’
It is the end of a tumultuous relationship. The couple first met in the spring of 2004, when Chelsy was a 19-year-old pupil at the exclusive Cheltenham Ladies College, close to Prince Charles’s Highgrove estate.

Prince Harry had dated Chelsy Davy for five years, but the couple have now ended their relationship
Yet the romance only came to the world’s attention eight months later, when the young Prince was holidaying with Chelsy at a remote polo lodge 55 miles from Buenos Aires. Soon after, in a candid moment with a reporter, Prince William admitted that his brother was ‘madly in love’.
But Chelsy was a controversial serious first girlfriend for the Prince. Her father, millionaire safari operator Charles, ran a game farm in Zimbabwe with reportedly close ties to Robert Mugabe’s regime; while her relationship with Harry, at least in the early years, appeared to consist of a series of exotic holidays.
There was also the issue of the 6,000 miles between Harry in the UK and Chelsy in Cape Town, where she moved to study commerce and economics.
In April 2005, Clarence House denied claims Harry had cheated on his new girlfriend with attractive 17-year-old Alexia Bergstrom who he met in a nightclub in the exclusive Swiss ski resort of Klosters.
And just a year later he earned his girlfriend’s wrath by celebrating the end of his military training at Sandhurst with a visit to a Spearmint Rhino lap-dancing club in Slough.
Then in June 2007 the Prince, at the time a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry, was pictured being kissed by two bar girls while on Army training in Canada.
There were further embarrassing reports that he had invited a third barmaid back to his rented house and ‘cavorted’ in front of her in a blue and orange sarong before whipping off his boxer shorts and spanking her.
Chelsy moved to Leeds in September 2007 to be closer to Harry and to pursue her studies. But just two months later, Chelsy told the young Prince that she ‘needed space’ to carve out her own identity.
Harry’s reaction was to boast that he planned to get ‘as drunk as possible’. However, the pair were reconciled the following month.
Chelsy was the driving force in that first split, but unlike now she was adamant at the time that it was merely a ‘trial separation’.Zimbabwe-born Chelsy had reportedly told friends she could no longer put up with his lifestyle and time spent apart.
