Oh no, sorry McClaire I was talking about Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. She wore a red coat, boots and a black bini. I was trying to say that kind of understated look looks sexier sometimes then showing a lot of skin like Chelsy used to do.

 

[McClaire]

oh okay! Well she and chelsy and the same idea at least.

Here is a video of Chelsy on her first day of work. She looks really relaxed.

it's the first real video i've seen of her. thanks Aschott.

 

[jacybabi]

she's great. i love how she doesn't play up to the camera like kate.

 

[Ashcottmanor]

^ You're welcome. There was a video of her walking to Leeds Uni a while back but it has since been taken down It was lovely because she was talking and laughing with her friend while the paparazzi were following her.
I like how she doesn't play to the paparazzi too. There are some videos of Kate and she just smiles and plays with them, you can tell she loves the attention. Chelsy just goes about her business.

South African home shared by Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy now on the market as a royal love nest

It's trumpeted as the house where Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy enjoyed some of the most 'exciting and romantic' days of their relationship.
Now visitors to Cape Town can sample a taste of royal living for themselves by staying in the - dare one say it - rather tackily marketed Royal Love Nest Guest House.

The stylish £240,000 property, which is situated in the exclusive suburb of Newlands, was bought for Chelsy by her wealthy parents, Charles and Beverly, while she was studying at the nearby university.

Visitors to Newlands, Cape Town, can stay in the house where Chelsy Davy spent many quiet nights with Prince Harry
Until just over a year ago, Harry, who is third in line to the throne, was a frequent visitor to the four-bedroomed house where he and Chelsy shared her charming white-washed bedroom, while his bodyguard slept in the room next door.

When the Zimbabwean-born student graduated with a degree in PPE and moved to England in order to be close to her boyfriend, it was put on the market and snapped up by British-based Pumla and Madoda Hoshe in March 2007.

Initially the couple, who used to live in South Africa with their three children, used it as a holiday home as the spacious detached property, complete with double garage, is situated in tone of the city's most pleasant suburbs.
The home is also just a short drive from its spectacular beaches and world-famous Table Mountain.

Chelsey and Prince Harry spent many nights at the home which was purchased by her parents
But the couple quickly realised it could become a money spinner and turned it into a guest house charging between £50 and £95 a night including breakfast.

Mrs Hoshe, 40, a medical technician, said: 'I was delighted to hear the house was for sale.

'It is a dream to make it into a guesthouse because Harry and Chelsy spent lots of special time there together, including Chelsy's 21st birthday.

'I suppose they did whatever young couples get up to behind closed doors.

'The guests find the history of the house very exciting.'

Mrs Hoshe employs staff to manage the house as she now lives in London and says they have had an incredibly positive response since opening.

The Davy's former home has been turned into a hotel called Royal Love Nest Guest House
'They all say the place is lovely and we have even managed to impress our first honeymoon couple,' she said.

'It is a very safe and upmarket area and I can say it is the only guest house in the area which is owned by a black woman.

'For tourists it's an adventure to stay there: it's a modern setup and we're offering true South African hospitality with foods like my mother's tasty corn bread.'

Harry, 24, and Chelsy, 23, famously dated for more than four years but split up in January after deciding they needed to spend more time concentrating on their careers.

The home's new owners quickly realised it could become a money spinner and turned it into a guest house charging between £50 and £95 a night including breakfast
Harry is currently stationed at RAF Barkston Heath in Lincolnshire where he is training to become an Army Air Corps helicopter pilot while Chelsy is about to take her post-graduate law degree finals at Leeds.

Mrs Hoshe insists their split has not upset the family's business plan, however.

'I don't believe their break up is for keeps. I imagine they just need to sort out their lives before they get serious again,' she said.

That's such disgusting exploitation. I would not be at all surprised if that website and name disappears at some point because Ms Davy and the royal household must have some legal standing over use of their names to market this business.

 

[Ashcottmanor]

And she's fast becoming a lawyer too! So she knows how to get herself out of these legal messes.

Some new photos, the date is unknown.

[eimear.style]

That house was shared by Chelsy and her brother while she was attending uni in South Africa.

That house was shared by Chelsy and her brother while she was attending uni in South Africa.

I always heard she lived in an apartment or flat with a couple of friends from school. She's been seen at it a couple of times. Did her parents own both the apartment and the house aside from their own in Cape Town?

Here is a picture of Chelsy on an apartment balcony:

The second balcony that is clearly different from the first:

And these two look like they're from the house:

[jacybabi]

aren't the first two pics, pics of her parent's house?

 

[McClaire]

Ashcott- I think the first one is from CT
second from Durban
and third the house in the article.

 

[Ashcottmanor]

Thanks! Durban? Is that where her parents have the vacation home? And do her parents live in Cape Town also?

 

[Deleted member 49693]

She didn't buy the apartment until after the family told that house.

 

[McClaire]

wasnt the house her and her brothers? while she (and him?) were at UCT.
