Rose Hanbury appears to be taking the situation very seriously at the moment. Many have been persuaded for years that Hanbury and Prince William are allegedly involved in a relationship. And since Kate Middleton is not attending public events or carrying out her royal responsibilities, the rumors have just multiplied. But Hanbury appears to be officially sick of this conspiracy now that the rumors are making the rounds in the mainstream media.
According to information obtained by Business Insider, the outlet contacted all parties involved and dug deep into the rumors. Although Hanbury has broken her years-long silence to finally clear up the matter, Kensington Palace has “declined to comment” on the alleged affair rumors.
Also, kindly note that aside from removed tweets and rumors, there has been no concrete or tangible evidence of the affair.
Setting the Record Straight: Rose Hanbury Broke Her Silence
Because of rumors and speculation about her possible relationship with Prince William, Rose Hanbury has been the focus of a great deal of gossip over the years. She was apparently close enough to Kate Middleton in 2014, according to a Daily Mail article; and the two most likely “talked fashion” when they used to socialize.
Moreover, writers Nicole Cliffe and Giles Coren claimed to have known about the alleged 2019 affair between Prince William and Hanbury, according to IBTimes. According to a timeline of the affair rumors provided by Cosmopolitan, the drama appears to have begun with an article in The Sun that speculated about a potential fallout between Hanbury and Middleton.
Recently, Hanbury eventually came forward in response to rumors that she had an affair with Prince William. Through her lawyers, the former political staffer, 40, informed Business Insider that the affair rumors “are completely false”.
During Middleton’s months-long retreat from public life, a lot of rumors surfaced about her marriage to 41-year-old Prince William. Stephen Colbert actually joined the conversation on his talk show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the recent episode, saying:
“The kingdom has been all a flutter by the seeming disappearance of Kate Middleton. Well now, internet sleuths are guessing that Kate’s absence may be related to her husband and the future King of England William having an affair.”
But Middleton’s representative informed Page Six that, due to her ongoing recuperation from a “planned abdominal surgery”, she would not be going back to work until Easter.
Is Kate Middleton Spotted Again? Or Another Edited Image?
Is Kate Middleton spotted again? Again, fans are questioning the authenticity of photos circulating online, claiming that they have been heavily altered to tell a false narrative. According to The Sun story that was published on Sunday, Middleton was reportedly spotted near her Windsor home on Saturday for the first time since December.
Viewers described her as “happy, relaxed, and healthy” when she visited the Windsor Farm Shop, which is about a mile from her Adelaide Cottage home. No comments were made about the outing by Kensington Palace or the Windsor Farm Shop. The tabloid claimed that Prince William accompanied his wife on the trip.
The Sun article did not include any images or videos from the outing, which added credence to the circulating rumors about the Princess of Wales. However, her sightings have left numerous people scratching their heads, wondering whether the thing they’re seeing is the real deal or merely another cleverly doctored image. Let’s hear what fans are saying:

How does the world media collude to keep a false story going like this? There's literally no proof of any sighting of Kate Middleton by anyone other than Prince William.

It really really shows us how privilege and power works. Literally no media anywhere is trying to give an honest answer.

But by Monday afternoon, pictures and a video of the alleged Saturday outing had surfaced in The Sun, TMZ, and other tabloids, supporting the original reporting. In addition to posting the video’s metadata and a few statements from an eyewitness who allegedly took the footage, TMZ claimed that the images were “100% her”.
Despite the depressing rumors that have been circulating about her, the royal couple, and the monarchy as a whole, Middleton was seen in the video strolling quickly and with a strong gait. She also appeared to be smiling and at ease.
