Prince Harry dumped by girlfriend Chelsy

London: No longer able to put up with his antics, Prince Harry's Zimbabwean girlfriend Chelsy Davy has broken up with him because he chose to attend a rugby match instead of her birthday party.

British newspapers, The News of the World and the Mail on Sunday said Davy, 22, had told friends she and the prince were having a trial separation.

"She kept saying she needed to take some time out to re-establish herself. She still loves him but she feels she needs to carve an identity as her own person rather than as Prince Harry's girlfriend," the Mail quoted one of Chelsy's friends as saying.

"Chelsy just couldn't put up with his antics anymore," a friend told the News of the World, which said that Harry's decision to attend a rugby match instead of her birthday had persuaded Chelsy to break off the relationship.

A royal family spokesperson refused to comment on the Prince's private life.
