Understanding Rose Hanbury’s role in the most recent scandal between Prince William and Kate

Rumors about the present state of affairs with Prince William and Kate Middleton have brought Rose Hanbury back into the public eye.

Kate Middleton’s conspicuous absence has caused quite a stir in the royal world. Internet sleuths have speculated that her husband, Prince William, and Hanbury may have had a love relationship, as Stephen Colbert said on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
Colbert brought up the alleged relationship between William and Hanbury, emphasizing the mounting rumors while Kate stays hidden from the public.

The 42-year-old Middleton has seldom been seen in public since her scheduled stomach surgery in January, which has led to a lot of speculative discussion on social media over her protracted absence.
Prince William, 41, has not responded to questions about his wife’s condition or recovery from her unidentified illness.
A retraction letter from AP citing fears of picture tampering followed the publication of a Mother’s Day photograph from Kensington Palace that showed a cheerful Middleton with her children. This added to the suspense.
In an effort to set the record straight on her photographic alterations, Middleton apologized for any confusion the modified family picture may have created as she addressed the issues around the doctored image on X (previously Twitter).
William’s concerns over Middleton’s well-being have been refuted, but Kensington Palace has refused to release the original, unmodified picture, stoking further rumors.
Online comments on this embarrassing picture incident was abundant, and some people even went so far as to propose conspiracy theories about Middleton’s circumstances.
In regards to Hanbury, she has royal links dating back to her grandmother and is a close friend of William and Kate. Hanbury, who is married to David Rocksavage, lives close to the royal couple and has been seen with them at a number of important occasions.
The Marchioness of Cholmondeley has been the target of jokes, most famously from Colbert, who hilariously misconstrued it on his program.
The claims of an affair between William and Hanbury began in 2019, and although there have been rumors on social media and from other sources, none of them have been verified.
As for formal reactions, neither Hanbury nor Middleton nor Prince William have made any public acknowledgement or refutation. William’s attorneys, meanwhile, have vehemently denied the allegations, characterizing them as damaging and unfounded.
In his book and interviews, royal analyst Omid Scobie has shared his opinions, arguing that the rumors have continued despite the lack of supporting proof since no action has been taken.
