Prince Harry Back in Love
This story was filed by CBSNews.com's London-based entertainment contributor Neil Sean.
Prince Harry is once again happy and in love, six months after splitting with "the love of his life," Chelsy Davy.
How has he achieved this new level of bliss so soon? By going back out with Chelsy. But the path back to amorousness is not always smooth.
Prince Harry never actually wanted to split in the first place - both blamed it on the demands of his life in the military and her training as a lawyer in the northern English city of Leeds.

During their time apart, Chelsy threw herself whole-heartedly into finishing her law exam, and Harry, well, he partied and continued his training - all the while keeping lines of communication open with Ms. Davy.
"I knew that if I shut it down I would loose her for good," the Prince told friends. Ms. Davy, however, was also happy about the text message campaign that saw them through the brief breakup, and the brief, secret trips to Leeds to "catch up".
Chelsy did have some demands in the reunion. Among them, she wanted the young Prince to improve his punctuality, call when he says he was going to, and not take her for granted. She apparently vowed to reciprocate on many of the same points.
"It started off again like a brand new romance with calls, texts and silly things like cards being left for each other," said my source, who has close contact with the young couple.
Dinners and long walks followed, with both revealing why they wanted to try again. Harry is a different person now that she is back in his life, and the family (father Prince Charles, his wife Lady Camilla and brother Prince William) are also thrilled.
"He is far happier as a person and they know she is a good influence on him," said my source.
However, reports that Harry and Chelsy are planning to spend Christmas together on vacation in Africa are way off-mark.
The Royals are more than conscious of any level of criticism of them spending extra cash on jaunts half way around the world during times of economic hardship for the citizens of Britain.
Harry does have some time off from the Forces, but he has to be back at work by January 4, and he's yet to decide where he'll spend the holiday season. But one thing is for sure, he'll spend it with Chelsy.
