Harry’s ex Chelsy and Eton beau Sam tie the knot
CHELSY DAVY split up with Prince Harry after a seven-year relationship because she didn’t want to be a royal bride.
But, happily, the former City lawyer has not been scared off marriage altogether.
I hear Chelsy, 36, has exchanged vows with hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott, 37, who was in the year above Harry at Eton College.
‘They are married,’ a friend tells me. ‘Very few people knew about the wedding.’
The couple decline to comment but Chelsy appears to have confirmed the news by sharing a photograph with friends of her wearing a wedding ring below her sapphire engagement sparkler.
I disclosed in March that she had given birth to her first child, a boy called Leo, in January with virtually no one knowing she was pregnant. The father’s identity was a mystery.
However, the following week her friends told me he was Oxford graduate CutmoreScott, managing director at The Harper Hotel in Holt, Norfolk.
He’s the brother of Jack Cutmore-Scott, 35, the dashing Hollywood actor best known for his role in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning film Tenet and the drama series Deception.
Sam’s a director of his parents’ hospitality company, the Bijou Collection, which owns four exclusive wedding venues: a mansion, a manor and an abbey in the Home Counties and a chateau in the South of France. He and Chelsy live together in Chiswick, West London.
Party-loving Chelsy, who was born in Zimbabwe and now runs a jewellery and luxury travel business, revealed in 2020 that she had a serious boyfriend, but did not give his name, explaining: ‘There is someone, and I am quite taken by this one, but it’s very new and I don’t want to say too much.’
Chelsy began dating Harry while she was a pupil at Cheltenham Ladies’ College and the pair split in 2011.
