Rose Hanbury breaks silence on alleged relationship with Prince William: “Everything is false”

Rose Hanbury it doesn't fit, at least not anymore. The Marchioness of Cholmondeley has broken her silence on her alleged relationship with Prince William: “It's completely false”he told Business Insider through his lawyers, categorically denying a connection with the heir to the throne.

The story is old and hackneyed and dates back to 2019, but in recent weeks it has become relevant again, thanks to the exit from the scene of Kate Middleton, who is recovering from abdominal surgery. And the family photo of the princess without the ring on her finger has reignited rumors of a crisis with her husband.

Rose Hanbury in the uncomfortable role of a new Camilla has been rumored since 2019, when for the first time the British press defined her as “Kate's rival”. Born in 1984, married to David RocksavageMarquess of Cholmondeley, with him she had three children, the twins Alexander And Oliver, born in 2009, e Iris, class of 2016. The Marquises live in Houghton Hall, which was the home of Prime Minister Robert Walpole, of whom Hanbury's husband is a direct descendant and which is the backdrop to a photo shoot recently published in the Financial Times, as well as a beautiful image of the marquise published in Rare Birds, True Style: Extraordinary Interiors, Personal Collections &Signature Looks, just released by Rizzoli Books. Houghton Hall is just a stone's throw away Anmer Hall, the country residence of the Princes of Wales, hence the assiduous acquaintance between the two couples and an alleged estrangement due to rumors that William was as unfaithful as his father at the same age.

The ingredients would all be there. The heir to the throne, the princess loved by all betrayed, the lover who perhaps even had a daughter with the future king and who (always perhaps) would be close to divorce: an obvious but tempting plot for lovers of gossip, were it not that the characters in the story are real. The fact that Charles III chose the Marquess of Cholmondeley as Lord-in-Waiting, a sort of male lady-in-waiting, should be enough to dispel any doubts. The ties between the two are very strong, so much so that one of the marquis's sons was also the king's page on the occasion of his coronation: if there had really been an affair between the son and the wife of one of the men closest to him probably it would have been more prudent not to put them in the house.

Too many things don't hold up in this forced intrigue. Kate Middleton, meanwhile, is about to return to public. After the mess with the badly retouched family photo, the princess was spotted with her husband outside a shop in Windsor, and the video of them together smiling immediately went around the web. If it's a strategy they are truly professionals.
