The entire internet is obsessed with Kate Middleton’s whereabouts right now, and they have been since the Palace announced her abdominal surgery, and her months-long recovery. Not only have many theorized intrusive conspiracies about her absence, including one that allegedly has Kate at her “wits end.”
Insiders told InTouch Weekly that Kate is having a hard time with the resurfaced Rose Hanbury rumors, specifically the ones that Hanbury and Prince William have allegedly been having a years-long affair.
“Kate taking her wedding ring off [in a recent family photo] just intensified all the drama surrounding their marriage and the rumors of William’s affair with Rose,” they said. “You can’t blame her for being at her wits end with the rumors about Rose and William completely haunting her. It’s hurtful, especially because she’s still recovering from major surgery.”
While many conspiracy theories have been making the rounds on Twitter, the Hanbury rumors are at an all-time high again, especially after they hit mainstream media.
So, for those who don’t know this whole situation as well as others, we’re going to break down everything. Hanbury and Kate were friends for years, and in 2019, the Sun published a piece saying the two had a falling out (which according to Richard Kay, nearly left both getting legal action in response). Then, writers Giles Coren and Nicole Cliffe both claimed they knew about the alleged affair between William and Hanbury in 2019, per IBTimes.
William’s lawyers reportedly issued a legal warning, but no one in this story has publicly acknowledged the rumors. There has been no physical or tangible proof of an affair besides deleted tweets and hearsay. While Kate and Hanbury have allegedly reconnected after Charles III’s Coronation, the three have kept quiet about the situation, especially after the rumors have been reignited.
