Lady Rose Hanbury has addressed the rumors surrounding her alleged affair with Prince William, the husband of Kate Middleton. The 40-year-old mother of three, who is married to David Cholmondeley, denied the speculations through her lawyers, stating that the rumors are entirely false.
Speculation about a possible relationship between Hanbury and William has been circulating since 2019, but it intensified recently due to Middleton's absence from public appearances. Kensington Palace announced that Middleton, 42, would be undergoing abdominal surgery, leading to further conjecture about the state of her marriage with William, 41, with whom she shares three children.
The rumors reached a wider audience when comedian Stephen Colbert humorously discussed the situation on his talk show, 'The Late Show.' Colbert joked about the alleged affair and playfully mispronounced Hanbury's royal title, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, as 'Marching Band of Chicanery.'
Despite the ongoing speculation, Middleton's representative clarified that her absence was due to planned surgery and that she would not be resuming her duties until Easter. Middleton recently shared an 'altered' photo with her children in honor of Mother's Day, which also sparked attention due to photoshop errors and her missing engagement ring.
The situation has garnered significant attention from royal fans and the media, with many closely following the developments surrounding the alleged affair rumors. Hanbury's public statement and Middleton's representative's clarification have provided some clarity amidst the swirling speculations.
