Prince Harry has proposed to his Zimbabwe-born girlfriend Chelsy Davy, but is being forced to keep the happy news a secret. It all happened during their recent vacation in Botswana. However, the engagement will not become official until Chelsy finishes her post-graduate studies at Leeds University and Harry has done his Army time overseas.

“Both Harry and Chelsy realize that no engagement announcement is possible just yet,” says a royal source. His family believe that at 22, Harry is too young to marry and can’t do so without his grandmother the Queen’s permission, until he is 25.”

“Chelsy is her own person and that’s what Harry loves about her,” says a royal source. “Despite the pressures from his family, Harry is determined to marry her — even if he has to wait three years to make the announcement.”

Seeing that it’s “unofficial”, we will hold our congratulations until the official announcement.
