Prince Harry and Girlfriend Chelsy Break Up - Because of Text Messages?

According to About.com's Gossip Guide, Diana Mimon, Prince Harry and his longtime girlfriend Chelsy Davy have broken up. What is unusual about this breakup is not that it happened. (I mean, we've all suffered a breakup or two; luckily most of us don't have to live it down through the media). Rather, unverified reports from ABC News are stirring the breakup pot by ruminating that Chelsy ended things not because Prince Harry missed her 22nd birthday celebrations, but rather because of alleged text messages between Prince Harry and another girl.

As the CBS clip points out, cheating through texting (referred to as 'cybercheating' during the program) isn't new to celebrities. David Beckham was caught cheating on his wife in 2004 when scandalous text messages sent to his assistant were published in a British tabloid. Yet, a study performed by UK's Dot Mobile with over three thousand text users found that a whopping 87% didn't think that "flirty texting" was anything more than "a bit of fun" and didn't constitute cheating.

So if the rumors are true, and Chelsy did break up with Prince Harry because of text messages sent to another woman, do you think she should have? Is flirty texting someone while in a monogamous relationship with someone else cheating?
