Rumors of Prince William's alleged (ALLEGED!) affair with Rose Hanbury have been dusted off in the wake of the "Where Is Kate Middleton?" discourse—and apparently, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley* is NOT thrilled.
*Since you're wondering, this last name is confusingly pronounced "Chumley." As you were!
As royal expert Nick Bullen put it to Us Weekly, “I know people who know the Marchioness of Cholmondeley very, very well, and she absolutely was not having an affair with the Prince of Wales. Even when those rumors broke a few years ago, she was very upset by them then. She’s still very upset by them now.”
Oh, and FWIW, he also called the affair rumors “rubbish.” 👀
Bullen then argued that the lack of info about Kate's whereabouts has driven affair rumors (which, by the way, date all the way back to 2019): “Something the royal family could possibly learn from [this] is that [with] these vacuums that are created, other people can be collateral damage. Perhaps they need to think about that collateral damage.”
He also emphasized that cheating “goes against everything” William stands for and is “just not in his psyche,” along with the fact that the Prince of Wales “saw the damage that affairs can cause”—presumably in the case of his late mother, Princess Diana, and her relationship with his father, King Charles.
At this point, neither Prince William nor Rose Hanbury has addressed theories and speculation about their relationship, but the Marchioness of Cholmondeley's lawyers recently told Business Insider that “the rumors are completely false.”
