Prince William and Princess Kate’s relationship has often been viewed as one of the most perfect examples of royal love. From their college days at the University of St. Andrews to their fairytale wedding in 2011, the couple has faced public scrutiny, private challenges, and the intense spotlight that comes with being part of the British royal family.

However, in 2019, rumors about a possible affair between Prince William and one of Kate’s close friends, Rose Hanbury, shocked both royal fans and the public. These allegations became a significant topic of tabloid discussion, with whispers suggesting that the friendship between Kate and Rose had soured, possibly due to William’s reported infidelity.

Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, has long been part of the royal circle. She is married to David Cholmondeley, and their families have shared ties with the royals, with their homes in Norfolk being close to the Cambridges’ residence, Anmer Hall. Kate and Rose reportedly had a strong friendship, having double-dated with their respective husbands in the past. They also worked together on charitable causes, such as the East Anglia Children’s Hospice.

In 2019, rumors surfaced that Kate had confronted William about an alleged affair with Rose. Reports suggested that William had “laughed it off” and denied the rumors. However, the tabloid headlines quickly spread, claiming a rift had formed between the two women. It didn’t help that the two families lived near each other in Norfolk, which only fueled further speculation.
