Prince Harry might have a mansion in California with nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, but I can reveal his ex-girlfriend has had a baby with a man whose family own a mansion, a manor, an abbey and a chateau.
On Saturday, I disclosed that Chelsy Davy, 36, had given birth to her first child, a boy called Leo, in January without virtually anyone knowing she was pregnant. The father’s identity was a mystery.
Now, the former City lawyer’s friends tell me he is Sam Cutmore-Scott, 37, a successful hotelier, who was in the year above Harry at Eton College.
‘Sam is the father of Chelsy’s baby,’ one of their pals says.
Chelsy Davy began dating Prince Harry while she was a pupil at Cheltenham Ladies’ College. The pair had an on-off relationship for seven years until they split in 2011

Sam is managing director at The Harper hotel in Holt, Norfolk, and Chelsy shared a photo online last week of their dogs on a beach a few miles away.
He’s the brother of Jack Cutmore-Scott, 34, the dashing Hollywood actor best-known for his role in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning film Tenet and the U.S. drama series Deception.
It’s unclear if Sam is married to Chelsy but he’s a director of his parents’ hospitality company, the Bijou Collection, which owns four exclusive wedding venues. These include a mansion and a manor in Surrey, an abbey in Buckinghamshire and a chateau in the South of France.
I understand Chelsy and Oxford graduate Sam (pictured) live together in Chiswick, West London. Their baby was born at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in January.

Party-loving Chelsy, who was born in Zimbabwe and now runs a jewellery and luxury travel business, revealed in 2020 that she had a serious boyfriend, but did not give his name, explaining: ‘There is someone, and I am quite taken by this one, but it’s very new and I don’t want to say too much.’
Her last known boyfriend before then was dashing television producer James Marshall, from whom she split in 2018.

The pair had an on-off relationship for seven years until they split in 2011, as Chelsy didn’t want to be a royal bride.
Both Chelsy and Sam declined to comment yesterday.
Most of us loathe litter, but mild-mannered gardener Alan Titchmarsh is willing to risk a run-in with the police in his quest to keep Britain tidy.
Asked what his biggest pet hate is, the television presenter says: ‘Litter. I say to my wife, “I’m going out with a black bag and a litter picker to clear litter off the central reservation.”
She says, “You’ll be arrested.” And I say, “What a good thing to be arrested for.”
