London - Prince Harry, 20, is a "very lucky guy" to have Chelsy Davy, 19, as a friend, reports the UK daily, the Sun.
Chelsy's ex-boyfriend, Ben Snell, 21, told the tabaloid, Chelsy was fun, generous and pleasant and "has a body to die for".
Harry and Chelsy, a Cape Town student, are spending a holiday on the Mozambican island of Bazaruto.
According to Snell, who is a student from Gloucestershire, Chelsy will make Harry very happy.
Snell said he fell in love with her while she was a student at Cheltenham College in the United Kingdom.
She was 16 when she left Zimbabwe for school in Britain.
Snell and Chelsy ended their romance when she returned to South Africa to study.
Snell said Harry and Chelsy were well suited as both loved sports and fun.
Harry wants to meet 'the folks'
"Chelsy was very sporty. She was good at tennis and played for the school. She also liked a drink, although she didn't overdo it."
The Mail on Sunday reported that Paul Davy, Chelsy's uncle, said at the weekend that Harry and Chelsy were talking about marriage.
"Yes, they want to get married," said Davy. He also said that Harry planned to meet Charles and Beverly Davy, Chelsy's parents.
But the report said also the allegations would cause "consternation" in royal circles.
"There is also the immediate question about the suitability of 19-year-old Chelsy as a royal bride."
Her father, Charles Davy, owns HHK Safaris in Zimbabwe and organises big-game hunting trips for Britons, Americans and Germans.
According to Paul Davy, Harry was in Mozambique with Chelsy as a guest of HHK Safaris.
The firm is being temporarily run by Webster Shamu, Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's controversial minister of policy implementation.
"Prince Charles's officials will guard against any attempts by Mugabe to use Harry's romance to suit himself."
According to the Mail, Shamu admitted he was Charles Davy's business partner.
