If you have even the slightest interest in the British royal family, you’ve probably heard about the alleged scandal involving Prince William and Rose Hanbury. Beginning in early 2019, tabloids were covered in their alleged affair, which confused many because Prince William had always appeared to be a devoted husband to Kate Middleton. In addition, he was a devoted father to their three children, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and Prince George.

In 2019, there were rampant rumors that Prince William and Rose Hanbury were having an affair. As Prince William’s attorneys threatened media outlets with legal action and referred to the rumors as “false and highly damaging,” the rumors persisted for a while before slowly fading away.

A royal expert dismissed the rumors of an alleged affair as a “blip” later that year because Prince William wouldn’t jeopardize the stability of his marriage or the monarchy.

The details of his alleged relationship with Rose Hanbury and his alleged infidelity to Middleton made headlines in the royal press, but where did these basically start? Why did the royal family try to hide the truth?

Was Prince William Being ‘Protected’ For His Alleged Romance with Rose Hanbury?

Prince William’s rumored romance with longtime friend Rose Hanbury was once again in the news after his brother Prince Harry made a suggestion that the Palace tried to cover up his brothers’ scandals to “protect him.”

In 2019, the Prince of Wales was the subject of allegations that he had cheated on his wife, Kate Middleton with Hanbury. Years after it died down, the story has resurfaced because Prince William’s brother, Prince Harry, claimed that the Palace “lied to protect” the Duke of Cambridge. 

Prince Harry stated, “They were happy to lie to protect my brother” in the trailer for the second season of the Sussexes’ Harry & Meghan Netflix series. “They were never willing to tell the truth to protect us.”

Royal fans guessed that Prince Harry was implying that Buckingham Palace officials covered up Prince William and Hanbury’s alleged affair by “lying” to kill the story and divert attention to Meghan Markle.

For the unversed, Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, is the wife of David Philip Cholmondeley. The two tied the knot in 2009 following a quick engagement.

Who is Rose Hanbury?

Former model Rose Hanbury is married to the Marquess of Cholmondeley, David Philip Cholmondeley, a man who is 23 years her senior. In addition, Cholmondeley is a filmmaker. Hanbury already had ties to the royal family before getting married to the Marquess of Cholmondeley.

It makes sense that Hanbury developed a close friendship with Prince William and Kate Middleton, given her ties to the royal family and the proximity of their residences. The oldest two children of the Cambridge family, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, are the same age as Hanbury’s children.

Sadly, that friendship later gave rise to rumors that Hanbury and the Duke of Cambridge had an illicit relationship.

The first reports of Prince William cheating on the Duchess of Cambridge appeared in the spring of 2019. Insiders at the time asserted that Middleton was expecting Prince Louis, the couple’s third child when Prince William allegedly cheated on her.

Prince Louis was born in the spring of 2018, meaning that Prince William’s alleged affair was going on for a full year before it was reported in the media. It goes without saying that the affair rumors damaged the couple’s perfect marriage and raised questions about their future together.

According to reports, Prince William “laughed” off the rumors and reassured his wife that “there was nothing” to them.

The insiders also added that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge experienced ups and downs in their relationship just like any other couple.
