Kate Middleton & Chelsy Davy watch their princes play polo

Kate Middleton and Chelsy Davy were spotted watching Princes William and Harry play polo. The royal girlfriends indulged in champagne and polo, with Kate eating furiously and Chelsy managing to squeeze in some valuable study. The two princes were occupied elsewhere playing the Audi Polo Challenge at Coworth Park at Ascot, Berkshire.

Eventhough the media are now hailing the royal girlfriends as "besties", the available pictures from the photographic agencies don't really give you that impression. In fact, there's no proof that Kate and Chelsy even interacted other than sitting within a few metres of eachother. But this doesn't seem to be stopping the tabloid media from playing this "friendship" up. A source told The Sun: “Kate and Chelsy have always got along but it is only recently that they have become close. They realise the pressure the girls are under and think it is good they are close enough to offer each other support.”

The Daily Mail meanwhile managed a subtle jibe at Chelsy's fashion sense whilst praising Kate's. Figures.
