Chelsy Davy
Chelsy Yvonne Davy (born 13 October 1985) is a Zimbabwean businesswoman. She is the owner and founder of the jewellery brand Aya and the travel agency Aya Africa. From 2004 until 2009, she was in a relationship with Prince Harry.
Davy was born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, to Charles Davy, a South African safari farmer, and Beverley Donald Davy, a former Coca-Cola model and winner of the 1973 Miss Rhodesia contest. She has a younger brother, Shaun, and grew up at her family's homestead in the Lemco Safari Area.
Her father, Charles, was one of the largest private landowners in Zimbabwe, and was reported to own 800,000 acres (320,000 ha) of land. He maintained business ties with controversial politician Webster Shamu, of whom he said, "I am in partnership with a person who I personally like and get along with. I am not involved in politics in any way." After being criticised by the press, however, Davy sold his share in the business.
Davy was briefly educated at Cheltenham College. Before that, she attended Girls' College in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe (not Cheltenham Ladies' College as has been widely reported), before moving to Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. She received a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Cape Town in 2006, and a law degree (LLB) from University of Leeds in 2009.
Davy worked as a solicitor at the London law firm Allen & Overy from September 2011 to late 2014, when she decided to quit.
After studying at the Gemological Institute of America, Davy launched a jewellery brand, Aya, in July 2016.
In 2020, in an interview with Tatler Magazine, Davy announced that Aya would be branching out into the luxury travel sector to organise African holidays. She then announced the launch of Aya Africa on Instagram.
Davy is married to hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott, the brother of actor Jack Cutmore-Scott. They have a son, Leo, born in 2022, and a daughter, Chloe, born in 2024.
