Last Wednesday, the relaunch of LondonVIP club Chinawhite on Winsley Street in Soho proved memorable for many - including Prince Harry, who watched ex-love Chelsy Davy get too close for comfort to renowned playboy Hugo Taylor after the pair enjoyed a few glasses of Champagne together.
Celebrity gossips claim that word got back to Harry that Hugo made a play for his former girlfriend at the relaunch of the London night club and the young prince - third in line to the throne - was furious at the news…
A source said: “Hugo had told a number of pals that he’s got his eye on Chelsy, and as they are all in the same circle of friends it got straight back to Harry.”
Hugo, known as ‘Fagin’ by friends, is a new club promoter for Chinawhite - alongside Forbidden London Clubs of course - and has been linked to Princess Eugenie and model Saskia Boxford.
Chelsy and Harry met in 2004 and were together for five years. They split at the beginning of this year and have been linked with a number of other people - namely, for Harry, TV presenter Caroline Flack - but finally sorted out their differences and got back together last month.
Despite seeing other women, the prince was apparently “gutted” when Chelsy called off their romance. The course of true love never did run smoothly…
