The law thing was a challenge… But it got to the point that I wanted something that was mine and I also wanted to go home.

—Chelsy Davy, reflecting on her reasons for leaving Allen & Overy in 2014 and wanting to go back to South Africa. She has since gone on to start her own jewelry line featuring precious stones from Africa. The on-again, off-again paramour of Prince Harry of Wales also noted that getting her economics degree at the University of Cape Town was a lot more challenging than getting her law degree at the University of Leeds.
