Chelsy Davy, the 40-year-old former girlfriend of Prince Harry, has offered a rare window into her sun-drenched existence on the island of Mauritius by posting a photograph of two of her three children.
The image, shared on Tuesday on Instagram, captures her eldest son Leo, four, and daughter Chloe, two, dashing along a pontoon towards sparkling turquoise waters.
In the snapshot, young Chloe sports a denim dress with her blonde hair swept up in a small ponytail, while her older brother Leo cuts a playful figure in a Spider-Man T-shirt paired with black shorts.
The fiercely private mother of three kept the caption characteristically understated, accompanying the photograph with nothing more than a single blue heart emoji.
The post is one of only a handful of occasions on which Chelsy has shared images of her children publicly, having long guarded her family's privacy.
She announced Chloe's birth in typically discreet fashion in September 2024, revealing her daughter's name through a jewellery collection dedicated to "my baby girl".
The family welcomed their youngest member, a boy named Finn, in March. Announcing his arrival on Mother's Day, Chelsy wrote that "returning to those hazy newborn days has been a beautiful reminder of just how remarkable mothers are."
Chelsy and her husband, hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott, made the move to Mauritius on a "(semi) full time" basis last December. The couple had previously divided their time between Chiswick and Norfolk.
The tropical island holds deep personal significance for the Zimbabwe-born entrepreneur, who has been visiting every year since she was four years old.
The previous month, Chelsy gave followers a fuller picture of her Mauritian routine through an Instagram Reel charmingly narrated by four-year-old Leo.
"Come spend a day with my mum, while she runs her jewellery business from Mauritius," the toddler announced.
The video revealed that Chelsy rises at 6am for a beach stroll with baby Finn before preparing breakfast and dispatching Leo and Chloe to school by 8am.

With the older children out of the house, she threw herself into a photoshoot for her fine jewellery label Aya, at one point working with Finn strapped to her chest.
The day included pizza for lunch, an afternoon nap for Finn, and a family trip to the beach once the children returned from school, rounded off with supper and bedtime.
She acknowledged that juggling her jewellery brand Aya alongside raising three small children is a "jungle" but one she has "chosen."
Chelsy and Sam exchanged vows at the Paradis Beachcomber hotel in Mauritius in 2022, in a ceremony so private that "very few people knew about the wedding."
Prior to this, Chelsy's romance with the Duke of Sussex began in 2004 during Harry's gap year in Zimbabwe, where Chelsy's millionaire father runs a game reserve.
The relationship lasted seven years on an on-and-off basis, with Palace officials noting at the time that the pair had taken to calling one another "hubby" and "wifey."
They parted ways in 2011 owing to conflicting careers and lengthy separations, though they remained amicable. Chelsy was among the guests at Harry's 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle.
Sam, who attended Eton a year above Harry, serves as managing director of The Harper Hotel in Holt, his family's business.
