Will Chelsy Davy Return the Watch Now?

All this intense canoodling that Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy have been doing all across the globe in anticipation of his departure to Iraq was for naught… It would seem that his full-on body contact with the blonde Southern African is the closest he will ever come to combat, because the BBC has just reported that the royal won’t be serving in the war-torn country after all.

The prince was about to join his regiment, the Blues and Royals, who departed for Iraq a few weeks ago.

But the army believes that by preventing Harry from going, he may have literally dodged a hail of bullets.

“In a statement, the general said: “Following a visit to Iraq last week I discovered a number of threats relating directly to Prince Harry and those around him and I am not prepared to export those risks.

“I know Prince Harry will be extremely disappointed and his soldiers will miss his presence in Iraq.”

Not as much as Chels would have missed her man if he had gone, we’re sure. Now that he isn’t going anymore, we have to wonder: Is she going to return the 20,000 Pound watch she bought him as a farewell gift?
