Amid the prolonged absence of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, due to her recovery from abdominal surgery, social media was abuzz with rumours of an affair between her husband, Prince William, and Sarah Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley. However, Rose Hanbury has broken her silence on these rumours, dismissing them as completely false.
Speculation surrounding Kate Middleton's absence even made its way onto The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where Colbert humorously commented on the rumours, mentioning Prince William's alleged dismissal of Kate's concerns about infidelity. He also referenced Rose Hanbury and her ties to the royal family, acknowledging her as the alleged other woman in the affair rumours.
Rose Hanbury's connection to the royal family goes back generations, with her grandmother serving as one of the bridesmaids at Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's wedding in 1947.
Meanwhile, amid the affair rumours and controversies, Kate Middleton was embroiled in a separate controversy involving the digital alteration of a royal family portrait. This incident, along with previous instances of photo manipulation within the royal family, stirred further debate and scrutiny.
Rose Hanbury's denial of the affair rumours marks a significant development in the ongoing speculation, although how this rebuttal will be received remains to be seen amidst the royal family's silence on the matter.
