The image most people have of Prince Harry’s girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 21, is as a dizzy blonde wild child who “runs with a bad crowd” and spends most of her time partying.

Her exam results dispel this notion. In mid-year tests at Cape Town University she averaged 66 percent, scoring an outstanding 81 percent in her major subject, statistics, and 69 percent in comparative politics.

These results have been rather overshadowed though by the news that her father, Charles Davy, has been indicted by the Zimbabwe regime, which allegedly granted him immunity for the past ten years, for diverting funds from his safari business into offshore accounts.

If convicted, Davy could face a long prison sentence. What price then a marriage for Chelsy with her warrior Prince? Even the threat of charges in Zimbabwe will probably be enough to frighten off Harry’s minders at the Palace.

Interesting then that bright Chelsy has chosen to remain at Cape Town uni rather then spend a year studying in London, as she had planned. Talk is of her getting a First-Class Honours degree at her current alma mater.

This relationship must surely be on the rocks.
