AND the scandal that continues to haunt Prince William: that of his possible relationship with Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley, his neighbor at Anmer Hall, the country estate. King Charles has chosen her husband, the Marquis David Rocksavage, as his new one Lord In-Waiting, a very prominent role at court. AND this caused suspicions about William to resurface.

Did Prince William really cheat on Kate with neighbor Rose?
Rumors have been circulating since 2019 and it seems that both Buckingham Palace and Kate Middleton41, had immediately asked heir to the throne William, 40, of eliminate Rose, 39, from her circle of friends. But the viral gossip doesn’t stop generating headlines, especially now that the marquis and the marquise will be so close to the throne. And Carlo will be left a little sad who, with his decision, hoped to be able to put an end to the rumors once and for all.
The alleged mistress alongside William in Royal events
Seventh Marquess of Cholmondeley and descendant of Sir Robert Walpole, the first British premier, during the last years of Elizabeth’s reign David Rocksavage had already been Lord Great Chamberlain, another important position at court. Now he and Rose will be able to represent the king on official occasions and will be closely with William and Kate also at the Coronation of Charleson May 6th. Rose’s grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambart, had been a bridesmaid at Elizabeth and Philip’s wedding in 1947.

The repercussions of the rumors at Buckingham Palace
The reintegration of the marquises at court is a bitter pill that certainly won’t go down Princess of Wales, once a close friend of Hanbury. No one has ever been able to deny or confirm the alleged relationship between William and the marquise, a former model of the same age as the prince but more than 20 years younger than her husband David. And the rumors have already caused considerable repercussions at court. Especially with the Sussexes.
Had it been Rose who had caused William and Harry to fight violently?
The alleged affair between William and Rose would have started in 2018, when Kate was pregnant with her third child Louis. In his memoir ShootHarry told of a violent quarrel with William in the kitchen of the cottage occupied at the time by the Sussexes at Kensington Palace, where the heir to the throne had attacked his brother by knocking him to the ground. At the center of the discussion would have been Rose: having learned of William’s relationship, Meghan would have taken the opportunity to provoke Kate.
Meghan would have been “used” to deflect media suspicions
Harry allegedly accused Buckingham Palace of planting negative stories about him and Meghan in the tabloids in order to distract the British media from rumors of William’s alleged infidelity. But according to fans of the princes of Wales, it would have been Harry and Meghan who started the rumors to destroy the too perfect image of the then Cambridge.
