Harry Reportedly Feels His Ex ‘Who Got Away’ Is ‘Rubbing Salt in His Wounds’ With Her New Husband Amid Reports He ‘Desperately Regrets’ Meghan Marriage
The relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been going strong, despite numerous divorce rumors, ever since they married. And the two were even recently seen being very loving during Markle’s With Love, Meghan, holiday special. But that never stops the rumors about their marriage. It’s a celebrity rite of passage at this point. The more famous you are, the more people will speculate.
Recently, those reports have to do with Chelsy Davey—Harry’s ex, described as “the one who got away” and her new idyllic life in Mauritius alongside husband Sam Cutmore-Scott. A source told RadarOnline.com about Harry’s reaction to Davey’s new life, “He feels as though Chelsy is rubbing salt in his wounds. He irrationally believes her glamorous photos are a pointed reminder that she is the one who slipped away from him.”
Another insider added, “He reads far too much into her glam Instagram post-sharing, but he cannot shake the idea that she is living the version of peace he once imagined for himself.”

“He has always carried a sense that she represented the road not taken,” sources said, adding that Davey’s decision to share new images of her wedding and her decision to relocate to Mauritius have pushed Harry into a “meltdown.”
One sourced said, “He is constantly under scrutiny, constantly hustling. Seeing Chelsy building a peaceful family bubble far from the spotlight unsettles him more than he wants to admit,” while another one added, “He knows it is irrational, but the feelings are real to him.”
The same RadarOnline.com had recently reported that Harry “desperately regrets” his marriage after news of Davey moving to Mauritius were first revealed. “He talks about how uncomplicated things always felt with her. Watching her settle into this idyllic new life has stirred up all kinds of emotions – not least because his own situation in California is far from the fairy tale that was promised.”
And perhaps Harry does wish he had a simpler life, one where he could just move away to an island somewhere with his family and not have to worry about anything else. But he probably doesn’t wish it was without Markle, considering recent reports about their relationship and her new special.
In the With Love, Meghan holiday special itself, we see Markle try to build rituals for her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet—including crafting huge advent calendars, making snacks and cooking the Christmas Eve gumbo she learned from her mother. And the special isn’t without Harry, who checks in on his wife as she cooks gumbo to joke with her that it’s “close” to being as good as her mother’s.
Friends recently told PEOPLE that the spotlight and constant speculation about their marriage doesn’t affect Harry and Meghan. “It never creates friction between them,” a source said. “They’re fully aligned and always operate as a team. It never puts them at odds.”
We probably won’t see Harry and Meghan move to any small island paradise anytime soon, but they seem to be doing fine nonetheless.
