Chelsy Davy has shared a rare family photograph to celebrate Halloween. 

The Zimbabwean businesswoman, 41, who dated Prince Harry on-off from 2004 to 2011, looked ever so stylish in a brown witch's hat as she celebrated spooky season, Mauritius style. 

Despite chilly temperatures in the UK, Chelsy was wearing a floaty sundress and sunglasses as she marked Halloween on the African island, after moving there full-time with her family last year.

She was carrying adorable daughter Chloe, three, who was dressed as a fairy with a flower crown, while her four-year-old son Leo was a superhero. Chelsy also shares a baby son called Finn with her husband, Sam Cutmore-Scott.

The former lawyer beamed at the camera as she offered a glimpse into her idyllic life abroad, wishing her followers a "happy Halloween" and adding a pumpkin emoji. 

She also filmed the family "trick-or-treating island style", as the children used kayaks to go between houses.

Chelsy's rare confession about marriage

Earlier this month, Chelsy celebrated 10 years of her jewellery brand, Aya Jewels, and penned a rare personal essay to mark the occasion. 

She confessed that she never "wanted" marriage or motherhood until she met her husband, Sam, despite dating the Duke of Sussex for seven years.

She recalled meeting Sam during COVID, aged 35, after years of whirlwind travel when "the only thing I was committed to was having fun".

Sharing a "few words" about the past decade, Chelsy said: "Marriage and motherhood had never been particularly high on my to-do list. Both seemed to represent exactly the things I had spent my adult life avoiding: permanence, responsibility, roots and having to take somebody else’s plans into account.

"It wasn’t that I suddenly developed some great romantic vision of settling down. It was much more instinctive than that. I met Sam and, for the first time, I knew I wanted a family, specifically with him."

Chelsy and Harry broke up for good in 2011 due to press scrutiny, but remained friends afterwards, and she attended his 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle.

Chelsy Davy's new life abroad

Chelsy and Sam married in Mauritius in 2022, before welcoming their three adorable children.

In an interview with the Standard last year, Chelsy called the island "so much more" than just a holiday destination.

She said: "I'm actually here right now, the joys of post-pandemic remote working. We got locked down on the island while visiting my parents during COVID and, while we were here, we got a bit further under the skin of the place from a non-holidaying perspective. We’re now in the process of moving out here (semi-) full-time."

It appears to have been a great decision, as Chelsy often shares sun-soaked snippets from her new life abroad, including a "day in the life" video in June, running her brand and looking after her children.
