Oh, what a time to be a royal enthusiast.
Throughout history, the British monarchy has been a constant source of sensational news, with numerous well-publicized scandals capturing the public’s imagination and dominating headlines.
The current situation is particularly riveting. Since January, Kate Middleton’s mysterious abdominal procedure and her subsequent recovery have captivated everyone. Adding to the intrigue, King Charles received a shocking cancer diagnosis. And, of course, there’s the ongoing controversy involving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
In any other era, the reigning monarch’s battle with cancer would be the primary focus of media attention. However, the intense speculation surrounding Kate’s condition has overshadowed all other news.
The royals themselves may be partly to blame for the intense scrutiny on Kate’s recovery. Beyond confirming that the Princess of Wales underwent a “planned abdominal procedure” in January and would be out of action until around Easter, the Palace has been notably reticent, fueling suspicions.
The specifics of Kate’s condition remain a mystery. Until last week, she hadn’t been seen since Christmas, adding to the confusion.
The lack of concrete information led to rampant speculation, reaching a peak when an image of Kate and her children, released for Mother’s Day in the UK, ignited various conspiracy theories that gained international attention.
One of the most debated theories was that Kate and Prince William were experiencing marital troubles, which supposedly forced Kate to withdraw from the public eye until a resolution could be found.
remain unconfirmed. Nevertheless, the topic has garnered significant attention, reflecting the public’s undeniable intrigue.
The alleged marital troubles between William and Kate reportedly stem from a rumor that William had an affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.
Rose and her husband, David Rocksavage, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, have been part of William and Kate’s social circle for some time. Some years ago, The Sun newspaper fueled speculation by suggesting a falling out between Kate and Rose, with many attributing the cause to an alleged affair between Rose and William.
Even today, five years after The Sun published this information, the scandal continues to capture public interest.
Last week, numerous articles focused on Rose Hanbury amidst the media frenzy surrounding Kate Middleton’s whereabouts. Some news outlets were even accused of “soft-launching” the Marchioness in anticipation of her alleged affair with William becoming official news.
While the rumors seem far-fetched, Rose Hanbury felt compelled to break her silence and deny any affair had occurred.
According to reports, Business Insider reached out to Rose’s lawyers for a comment over the weekend. Their response was clear: “The rumors are completely false.”
So, there you have it—case closed, perhaps, for now.
