In the midst of social media frenzy over the speculated affair between Prince William and Sarah Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley, the latter has come forward to debunk the rumors. This controversy has unfolded while Prince William’s wife, Kate Middleton, remains out of the public eye following her abdominal surgery in January. Despite Kensington Palace’s assurance that the Duchess of Cambridge’s absence is due to her recovery, with expectations of her return by Easter, speculative rumors about Prince William and Hanbury have escalated.
Amid Kate’s prolonged absence, the internet has been rife with speculation, even suggesting that Prince William fathered a child with Hanbury. However, in a statement to The Business Insider, Rose Hanbury categorically denied these allegations, stating, “The rumours are completely false.”
The rumors also caught the attention of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where Colbert humorously discussed the speculations surrounding Kate’s absence and the alleged affair. He quipped about Prince William’s purported dismissal of Kate’s infidelity concerns and expressed sympathy towards Kate, playfully mentioning Hanbury as the alleged “other woman.”
Rose Hanbury’s connection to the royal family is deep-rooted, with her grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambart, having served as a bridesmaid at Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s wedding in 1947. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton found herself in another controversy over digitally altering a royal family portrait released on Mother’s Day, for which she later apologized.
As the royal family maintains silence over these matters, Hanbury’s denial of the affair rumors marks a significant development. The outcome of this rebuttal and its reception by the public and media remains to be seen amidst ongoing royal controversies.
