William and Kate are the ideal couple. The Prince and Princess of Wales married after meeting at the University of St. Andrews, despite considerable challenges. They have a great family now. As his father, King Charles, ages, William’s time will come.
Both Prince William and Princess Kate cherish friendships. However, a bombshell rumor about William and a mistress shocked followers years ago.
Another woman—one of Princess Kate’s greatest pals. Really, what happened? The reported mistress is who? Let’s investigate.
Princess Kate and Prince William met at St Andrews University. They both had lovers before meeting, but it was clear their relationship would be different.
Both lived in St. Salvator’s Hall and attended the same classes. In their second year, they moved in with friends in a private residence, where their love grew.
The William-Kate relationship
William and Kate’s shared sense of humor helped them connect, according to all accounts.
William stated in their engagement video, “She’s got a really naughty sense of humour, which really helps me because I’ve got a really dirty sense of humour so it was good fun, we had a really good laugh, and then things happened
The world—or at least the British tabloid press—discovered Kate Middleton was the future king’s girlfriend quickly. Naturally, the papers covered the couple as much as possible, but not simply “love is in the air” pieces. Instead, they investigated Kate’s personal life and called her terrible names.
Both William and Kate graduated in 2005. William and Kate had MAs in geography and history, respectively.
Even though the pair had a strong link, others seemed to try to ruin it. William’s friends nicknamed Kate nasty nicknames and made subtle jokes at her because of her mother Carole’s career, according to Katie Nicholl. Before founding their successful company with Michael, she was a British Airways air hostess.
Nicholl alleged on Vanity Fair’s Dynasty podcast that William’s “snooty” cronies took advantage. They murmured “doors to manual” when Kate arrived at a London nightclub.
Some nobility called the princess’s family “the en masse Middletons.”
William’s friends called Kate harsh names.
The “Glosse Posse,” the prince’s Gloucestershire-born aristocratic cronies, treated Kate like she was beneath them. However, Kate never responded to “derogatory” comments. Instead, she ignored them.
“It was never water off a duck’s back, but she’s strong and resilient. I’ve never seen her lose her temper,” a royal aide told the Sunday Times Magazine.
A source told the Daily Mail in 2021 that Prince William “flew off the handle” when his friends insulted his girlfriend.
“He snaps at any sign of Kate being patronized and eliminates it quickly. One of his triggers, said the royal source.
“Over the years, many people have come up with great ideas for her, but if they are dismissed, he ignores them.”
Many thought it was the start of an engagement. It took two years for things to get worse.
William and Kate split publicly in 2007. A year before, William and Kate rebuffed each other’s requests to spend key holidays together, causing instability.
William reportedly snubbed Kate’s parents’ New Year’s Eve invitation days before, leaving Kate in tears.
2011 wedding
Nicholl wrote in The Making of a Royal Romance (2011) that Kate feared for their relationship. William called on Boxing Day to cancel his meeting with Kate and her family. He stayed with the royals.
The future king sat down with the Queen and his father, Charles, to discuss his feelings because he didn’t know what to do. They replied clearly.
William was having second thoughts and got down with his father and grandma to discuss his future with Kate. In her book, Nicholl said both cautioned him not to rush.
William and Kate’s romance continued. They reconciled due to their deep friendship.
They married in Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011. They had Prince George (the future king) in 2013, Princess Charlotte in 2015, and Prince Louis in 2018.
Royals like Prince William and Princess Kate set public examples. How they raise their kids. They had always wanted to provide George, Charlotte, and Louis a normal childhood, despite certain rules. They’re royal, so such rules can seem harsh to outsiders.
A 2019 US tabloid rumor devastated the royal family. Was William unfaithful?
William allegedly had an affair with Kate’s acquaintance Rose Hanbury.
We must first state that nothing is confirmed. William “may” have had an affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley and Kate’s friend, according to In Touch in April 2019.
The “falling out” between William, Kate, and Rose was reported in tabloids. In Touch reported that Kate confronted William with the rumors, but William “laughed it off,” stating they were false.
In response, Daily Mail royal expert Richard Kay called the reports bogus.
Both sides have explored legal action, but lack of evidence from reports has caused them to overlook the matter. Kay wrote that fallout rumors are inaccurate and cruel.
The gossip spread quickly, and in 2019, the Daily Mail reported that Kate would “phase out” Rose Hanbury from their buddy group. Rose lived near William and Kate, had the same social circle, and had adjoining Norfolk houses, which didn’t help.
William and Kate’s summer home, Anmer Hall, is near Rose and her husband’s 106-room Houghton Hall.
Who is Rose Hanbury?
According to Tatler, Rose has long-standing royal ties. Queen Elizabeth’s 1947 wedding to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh had eight bridesmaids, including Lady Elizabeth Lambert, Hanbury’s maternal grandmother.
Marchioness of Cholmondeley Rose Hanbury
Before being close friends with a royal, Rose Hanbury and Kate go back years. Tatler said that William, Kate, Rose, and Rose’s husband David, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, double-dated. She and Kate also support East Anglia Children’s Hospice.
Before studying at Open University, Rose Hanbury attended Stowe boarding school. Her modeling career was brief. Storm, which discovered Kate Moss, signed her at 23.
Her career altered when she became a political researcher for Conservative MP Michael Gove.
The couple double-dated with their ex-boyfriends, who are now their spouses. Rose and David married at Chelsea Town Hall six years after meeting on vacation in 2003.
The couple has three kids. Alexander, the Earl of Rocksavage, and Lord Oliver Cholmondeley were born in 2009, and Lady Iris in 2016.
Prince George’s playmates are the two boys, and Lord Oliver was one of King Charles’ Pages of Honor at the May coronation.
Many times, Rose Hanbury has been close to the royals. Prince Harry and Rose sat together at a 2017 Buckingham Palace royal supper. Her spouse was recently named Lord-in-Waiting to King Charles, a noble family member who acts as the monarch’s personal attendant.
“Hurtful” affair rumors “are simply false,” insider stated.
Royal admirers were stunned by William and Rose affair claims in 2019. According to the Daily Mail, William, David, Kate, and Rose were confused by the claims.
“These hurtful fallout rumors are false. William and David spoke over the weekend, unsure whether to laugh or complain, a source added.
“Any suggestion of an argument or coolness between them hurts both wives. Future charitable events are planned.
Another acquaintance told The Mirror: “It has now become very upsetting, and they are all concerned for each other, as they have never before had to start denying something for which there is no evidence or even a smidgen of truth. It’s insane.”
Rumors have not been confirmed even one percent. Since there’s no proof, it probably never happened. The longtime friends’ attendance at a music event a few months ago may explain why Kate and Rose Hanbury seem to get along.
Kate took her friends to the Norfolk countryside Houghton Music Festival, according to the Daily Mail. At David and Rose’s 1000-acre Houghton Hall estate, 12,000 people attend the 24-hour festival with a royal guest.
Rose & Kate Hanbury visit music fest
Kate reportedly had dinner at David and Rose’s before considering the festival.
Catherine was worried, but after consulting with her protection officers, she decided on tons of security. William wasn’t there, a Daily Mail insider said.
The princess and her friends relaxed at the huge music event after a long day in the city. They did not eat at food trucks.
Instead, Kate and her pals ate at Turntable & Napkin, the festival restaurant, according to the London Evening Standard. The news site reported that Kate was “in high spirits, ordering spicy margaritas, eating affogato and speaking affably with the other members of her party.”
Her buddies brought a big, balthazar-sized bottle of AIX rosé and gave the festival food staff a £700 gratuity with Kate.
