Chelsy Davy, who dated Prince Harry between 2004 and 2011, has unveiled previously private photographs from her 2022 marriage to hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott.
The 40-year-old jewellery designer posted images to Instagram showing the couple’s beach ceremony in Mauritius, an occasion that remained largely secret until their marriage was reported in May 2022.
The Duke of Sussex’s former partner, who attended his 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle, chose to share these personal moments alongside revelations about her unconventional wedding preparations and the couple’s life with their young family.
Perhaps most striking amongst the wedding revelations was Ms Davy’s admission that she acquired her bridal gown just 24 hours before exchanging vows.

“I bought my wedding dress from a hotel boutique the day before my wedding and was very pleased with it!” she told The Evening Standard when discussing her preferred shopping destinations in Mauritius.
The photographs reveal her choice: a white gown featuring golden embroidery and cutout detailing around the neckline, paired with statement earrings.
Her relaxed approach extended to accessories, with images capturing her sporting sunglasses and holding a drink during the celebrations at the Paradis Beachcomber hotel.
The newly released photographs capture Mr Cutmore-Scott’s equally informal wedding attire, consisting of a blue button-down shirt paired with chino shorts.

Beyond the ceremony images, Ms Davy’s Instagram carousel featured family photographs aboard a boat with their two young children.
The couple welcomed their son Leo in 2022, the same year as their marriage, followed by their daughter Chloe in 2024.
These glimpses into their family life accompany Ms Davy’s announcement that they are relocating to the Indian Ocean island on a semi-permanent basis.
The Aya fine jewellery line founder described Mauritius as her preferred destination, having visited the island since she was four years old.
“My husband, Sam Cutmore-Scott, would, I’m sure, want me to mention our wedding day on the beach at the Paradis,” Ms Davy reflected when asked about cherished memories from the island.
The Zimbabwean-born designer’s connection to Mauritius runs deep, though she confessed her most treasured recollection might actually involve the hotel’s afternoon treats.
“My favourite memory would be from the Paradis, but if I’m being really honest, it would probably be the daily 4pm pancake station,” she admitted.
A friend previously confirmed to the Mail that the nuptials were deliberately kept private, stating: “Very few people knew about the wedding.”
