Prince Harry and his girlfriend Chelsy Davy have split up after the young royal missed her 22nd birthday party to attend the rugby union World Cup final, the News of the World reported yesterday.
The weekly quoted unnamed "friends" of Davy, who is a law student in Leeds, northern England, as saying she became sick of the 23-year-old army officer's lack of commitment and boozy antics.
She reportedly ended the relationship in a series of emotional telephone calls earlier this month between Leeds and Lesotho, where Harry was meeting AIDS orphans being cared for by the charity he set up.

In a separate report, the Mail on Sunday claimed Harry, a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry, was "ready to quit" the army unless he was sent to Afghanistan with his squadron.
