Rose is apparently not into her name being brought up in the " Katespiracy . "
Rose Hanbury responded via her lawyers over rampant speculation that she had an affair withPrince William, leadingKate Middletonto leave the public eye for some months.
It’s not the first time that rumors surrounding Will and the Marchioness of Cholmondeley have emerged. In 2019, the Sunclaimedthat Kate and Rose had a falling out, leading some folks to speculate that an affair between the two hopelessly posh families was to blame (leading the palace to reportedly threaten legal action).
Fast-forward to King Charles’s coronation, and the Cholmondeleys were pretty involved. Rose’s husband, David Cholmondeley, wasappointedCharles’s “lord-in-waiting,” and one of their twin sons similarly took on the definitely real and very serious role of page of honor for the ceremony.
However, amid the #Katespiracy that ensued after the Princess’s months-long departure from the public eye due to a “planned abdominal surgery,” the affair rumors have come back. Yes, some people think that her departure isactuallythe fallout of Will’s repeated philandering.
Stephen Colberteven discussed the rumors directly on his show last week,jokingin his opening monologue, “I think we all know who the alleged other woman is. Say it with me: the Marchioness of Chul-mun-duh-lay! What a beautiful name that I’m being told right now that I pronounced incorrectly. It is in fact pronounced ‘Chum-lee.’ Counterpoint: No, it’s not. Learn English, England.”
So, whenBusiness Insiderreached out to Rose’s lawyers this weekend for comment on the whole thing, they said, “The rumors are completely false.”
Alas, I have been told that Kensington Palace doesn’t comment on Will and Kate’s personal lives.
