Chelsy is 'thrilled' at Harry's Iraq ban

Prince Harry may have been devastated to learn he would not be serving on the front line in Iraq - but at least one person has taken the news well.

Chelsy Davy was "thrilled" to learn Army chiefs had banned her 22-year-old boyfriend from the war zone for fear it would be too dangerous.

She gave away her feelings on a page on social networking website Facebook only accessible to her friends.

Chelsy Davy was 'thrilled' to learn Army chiefs had banned her 22-year-old boyfriend from the war zone for fear it would be too dangerous

On Wednesday, the day it was announced that Harry would not go to Iraq, she changed the caption under her picture to read:"Thrilled!!!'

Chelsy, 21, has been consoling Harry, who is said to be "furious and deeply disappointed" he has not been allowed to command his armoured troop.

Army chiefs have given him a fortnight to "decompress" and get over his anger.

The besotted beauty had just splashed out £20,000 on a diamond encrusted Jacob & Co watch as a going-away present before Harry was to set off for Iraq.

The designer watches, which are favoured by the likes of David Beckham, P Diddy, Madonna and JLo, are renowned for their brightly coloured faces and sparkling diamonds all around the rim.

We're told Harry, 22, has yearned for one of the celeb accessories for quite a while and Chelsy was ready to surprise him with the gift on their last night together before he flies out to the war zone for six months.
