Lady Rose Hanbury has broken her silence amid ongoing rumors suggesting an affair with Prince William, the husband of Kate Middleton.
The 40-year-old mother of three, who married David Cholmondeley in 2009, addressed the speculations over the weekend, as fans of the royal family continued to wonder about Middleton’s extended absence from the public eye.
Lady Rose Hanbury’s Response
In a statement conveyed through her legal representatives to Business Insider, Hanbury firmly denied the rumors, asserting that any insinuation of an affair with William is “completely false.”
Despite rumors dating back to 2019, they gained momentum after Kensington Palace announced in January that Middleton, 42, would be undergoing abdominal surgery.
Middleton’s prolonged absence from public life has led to widespread speculation about the state of her marriage to William, 41, with whom she shares three children. Comedian Stephen Colbert even touched on the topic during a recent episode of “The Late Show,” playfully joking about the situation and referring to Rose Hanbury by her formal royal title, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.
Colbert humorously mispronounced the name “Cholmondeley” as “Chumley” and made light of the rumors surrounding Rose Hanbury and William’s alleged affair.
Despite the tabloid rumors and internet speculation, Middleton’s representative confirmed to Page Six that her absence was due to planned abdominal surgery and that she would not be resuming her duties until Easter.
The latest developments come just a week after Middleton posted an “altered” photo of herself with her children on Mother’s Day, which sparked further discussion among royal watchers.
The future queen’s decision to post an edited image, along with her not wearing her iconic sapphire and diamond engagement ring, added fuel to the ongoing rumors and speculation about her marriage.
The alleged affair between Rose Hanbury and Prince William has been a topic of speculation for several years, with various tabloids and news outlets reporting on the rumors. However, both parties have consistently denied any romantic involvement, and there has been no concrete evidence to support the allegations.
