PRINCE HARRY - PRINCE HARRY IN LOVE WITH SOUTH AFRICAN BLONDE

British royal PRINCE HARRY is reportedly besotted with a South African student whose father runs a Zimbabwe game farm.

The blonde, 19-year-old CHELSY DAVY, accompanied 20-year-old Harry during his recent two-week trip to a polo ranch in Argentina - even staying in the same guest house.

The prince, who starts army officer training at Sandhurst Military College in the new year (05), returned to Britain on Friday (26NOV04) as officials denied reports he had been the target of an attempted kidnapping.

According to British tabloid the DAILY MAIL; "Harry spent almost the entire trip with Chelsy, regarded by insiders as his 'first true love'."

When confronted by a reporter in Cape Town, Davy - a former pupil of an elite girls' school not far from Harry's home in Highgrove, England - told the newspaper: "I have known Harry since I was at school. I have heard people linking us together."
