Rumors Resurface: Prince William’s Alleged Affair Amid Kate’s Absence
Speculation about the Princess of Wales’ health and extended public absence has intensified following a new report suggesting Prince William is having an affair.
Talk Show Mention & Ongoing Rumors
Stephen Colbert reignited the rumors on The Late Show, referencing Kate Middleton’s disappearance and linking it to Prince William’s alleged affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley—a rumor that first emerged in 2019.
The History
Whispers of an affair began after reports of tension between Kate and Rose. While no one has confirmed or denied the claims, renewed interest followed Kate’s secretive surgery and low profile. She’s currently recuperating and won’t return to royal duties until after Easter. Hanbury has remained silent.
Who is Rose Hanbury?
A former model, Hanbury is married to David Cholmondeley and has longstanding ties to the royals. Her grandmother was a bridesmaid at Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding, and her son participated in King Charles III’s coronation.
Public Reaction
Royal fans have flooded social media with concern, questioning Kate’s whereabouts and drawing parallels to Princess Diana’s tragic story. One user wrote, “Where’s Kate? Where’s the kids? Stop being your father’s son…”
