Sad news of heartbreak coming out of the British Royal Family this weekend … the famed romance between Prince Harry (third in line for the crown) and his long-time girlfriend Chelsy Davy is kaput. The couple broke off their fairly extensive relationship while on holiday together and have confirmed the split to the world … and get this … it she who broke up with him! As a result, they’re dunzo, y’all!

Britain’s Prince Harry and his Zimbabwe-born girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 23, are calling it quits after five years, a palace source confirms to PEOPLE. The 24-year-old prince parted amicably with Davy, a post-graduate law student at Leeds University, three weeks after the couple spent a romantic holiday together in the Indian Ocean nation of Mauritius. “They are remaining friends,” says the royal source. “There have been all sorts of reasons given [for the split] but suffice it to say they felt that it had run its course.” According to the British newspaper News of the World, Davy, the daughter of a millionaire safari operator, made the decision to break up after tiring of the prince’s playboy antics. The pair met through mutual friends in 2004 and conducted a long-distance relationship for three years while Davy studied at a university in Cape Town, South Africa, and Harry was enrolled at Britain’s Sandhurst military academy. Last week, Harry – who recently came under fire for uttering racist comments caught on videotape – began a new phase of his military career, a 2½-year course with the Army Air Corps in helicopter pilot training.
Aww … sadness. I cannot imagine that it is very easy to be married to a Prince but, then again, I think I’d do everything that I could do to make it work because, after all, he’s an effing Prince! If memory serves, Harry and Chelsy broke up before (mebbe they were on a break?) and they managed to put their relationship back together. Now that Harry is taking on more military responsibilities, it sounds like Chelsy took all could stands and just can stands no more. Something tells me that these two will find their way back to one another. Mebbe when Chelsy finds out that its really difficult to find other hawt Princes to date? Mebbe when Harry finds out that it’s really difficult to find hawt chicks he can trust? In any event, the couple are splitsville now … which is sad. I quite liked them together … but, again, I won’t be surprised if they reconnect one day soon.
