Prince Harry Dumped By Chelsy Davy
So, apparently, the young British royal finally went too far and his relationship with Chelsy Davy as come to an abrupt end. I don't quite know what to say about this bit of news, but given how many people follow the lives of the British royal family I thought it would be worth a comment. Maybe it's time for all the ladies seeking fairy-tale romance to start cruising the wealthy dating sites. That can't be a bad idea, but be warned that it might not all be a party.
I'm a little surprised to be writing this commentary because I'm generally disinterested by the activities of undeservingly privileged famous people. I was especially disappointed with the world when Princess Diana died. It was sad, of course, but what bothered me was that Mother Teresa died the same week and nobody noticed. I mean, come on, Mother Teresa... The woman's name is literally synonymous with saint-like kindness and compassion, but all we heard about was a woman who had done nothing but marry rich.
I should stop digressing. We were talking about the young prince. Apparently the recently-ended relationship has been on rocky ground for a while as the prince has been committing a few indiscretions. I've never had much sympathy for cheating bastards, but, much to my surprise, the issue here wasn't the cheating.
The straw that broke the camels back was that Harry skipped his girlfriend's birthday party and went to the Rugby World Cup final instead. Cheating I don't understand. Rugby I do understand. I canceled plans with all kinds of people to watch the Cup in a shabby sports bar and I would have ditched anyone to go watch the game in Paris. Weather or not you are royalty, the World Cup final just doesn't happen every day. Besides, who doesn't enjoy watching England take a beating?
Now, as I have been told by so many women, I am NOT prince charming. I am, however, like a real prince in that I will ditch you to go watch a rugby game. An added bonus is the fact that when I'm at the game I won't cheat on you. Keep that in mind, ladies, next time you have to choose between me and dating a celebrity.
