Prince Harry recalled how the press harassed his former girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, so much so that a tracking device was placed in his car to make his whereabouts known.

Writing in his memoir Spare the Duke of Sussex recalled how Chelsy was "freaking out" over the press constantly knowing her location and hounding her which later turned out to be the result of a tracking device.

"The press was getting worse. They were now just peddling fantasies, phantasms, while physically stalking and harassing me and everyone in my inner circle. Chels told me that paps had been following her to and from lectures—she asked me to do something about it. I told her I’d try. I told her how sorry I was."

Harry continues: "When she was back in Cape Town she phoned me and said people were tailing her everywhere and it was driving her crazy. She couldn’t imagine how they always knew where she was and where she’d be."

"She was freaking out. I talked it over with Marko, who advised me to ask Chels’s brother to check the underside of the car. Sure enough: tracking device," Harry continues.

Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy dated for six years and split in 2010.
