Amidst speculations, Rose Hanbury refutes claims of an affair with Prince William
Lady Rose Hanbury has broken her silence regarding the ongoing rumors suggesting an intimate relationship with Prince William, the husband of her close friend, Kate Middleton. These speculations gained traction during the Duchess of Cambridge's absence following her abdominal surgery earlier this year.
The spotlight on the alleged William-Hanbury affair intensified after TV host Stephen Colbert delved into the "Katespiracy" during a segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He remarked, "Recent online chatter suggests Kate's prolonged absence might be linked to William's rumored relationship."
This isn't the first time Hanbury's name has been associated with Prince William in such contexts, as similar rumors emerged in 2019.
Addressing the claims, Rose Hanbury firmly denied any romantic involvement with the future king. Business Insider reported that Kensington Palace chose not to comment on the matter. Hanbury's legal representatives released a statement asserting that "the circulating rumors are entirely unfounded."
Following Colbert's commentary, British TV personality Piers Morgan added fuel to the fire, suggesting that Prince William might be hiding something. He vaguely mentioned being privy to certain information, hinting at potential concerns within the royal family.
Recent controversies, including the photo-editing incident involving the Duchess of Cambridge, coupled with her prolonged absence from public view, have led to heightened speculation about Prince William's relationship with Rose Hanbury. Notably, Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, shares a friendship with the royal couple and has ancestral connections to the monarchy.
The circulating rumors have spurred discussions on social media platforms, with many expressing concerns about the state of Prince William and Kate Middleton's relationship.
