Prince Harry’s secret son with his ex girlfriend exposed as she’s asking for child support

In an Instagram post about her fine jewelry line on September 5th, the Duke of Sussex’s former girlfriend, whom he dated intermittently from about 2004 to 2011, revealed that she had a daughter named Khloe. Chelsea had not posted on the platform in nearly two years, so this was a rare update.

” She wrote on Instagram. “It’s been 3 years and two babies since your last new collection, but you’re excited to be back in the game,” she added.

The post began with a solo image of Chelsea leaning back on a rail in front of a body of water, dressed in a white T-shirt, jeans, and gold jewelry from the Chloe collection. The second shot shows her walking with a baby wearing a blue dress on her hip, from behind. A close-up video of a ring, necklace, and stud earring from the gold and diamond Chloe collection served as the final item in the carousel.

In October 2022, Chelsea made her last Instagram post, which *Tatler* identified as her first public image of her and her newborn son, Leo. The *Daily Mail* claims that Chelsea and hotelier Sam Cudmore Scott, who attended Eton, welcomed their first child in January 2022. The publication added that Chelsea and Sam had secretly wed in May 2022. A friend was quoted as saying that very few people knew about the wedding.

Sam Cudmore Scott is the brother of actor Jack Cudmore Scott and reportedly attended Eton one year earlier than Prince Harry. Chelsea, who was born in Zimbabwe, met the royal in Africa in 2004 while he was taking a break from school and serving in the Army. The two traveled the continent several times together. Although the couple was wary of media intrusion during their time together, Chelsea, the daughter of wealthy businessman Charles Davy, was said to be Prince Harry’s first significant relationship.

In a 2016 interview with *The Times*, Chelsea described the constant attention she received while dating the prince as “scary.” Although invited as his date to the 2011 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Chelsea broke up in 2010. In 2016, Chelsea told *The Sunday Times*, “I think we will always be good friends.” Despite their breakup, Chelsea went on to be a guest at Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank that fall, as well as her ex’s wedding to Meghan Markle in May 2018.

While testifying against *Mirror Group Newspapers* in London in June 2023, the Duke of Sussex referenced Chelsea and claimed that his phone voicemails had been hacked using illegal information collection over the years, including during their relationship. In December 2023, the lawsuit was won by King Charles’s son. In the ITV documentary *Tabloids on Trial*, which debuted on July 25th, Harry talked about seeing his relationship with Davy play out in the press. He specifically mentioned an article in 2005 titled “Emotional Impact Affected Her to Dump Harry,” saying it caused “distrust, fear, paranoia, and worry about the people around you.”

“It’s clear that a headline like that has no bearing on the general public. What is in the public interest and what is in the public interest are two very different things,” Harry continued. “Exactly that is what transpires between myself and my then-girlfriend in my private life, between us.”
