When you think of Rose Hanbury, chances are you think about her royal title as the Marchioness of Cholmondeley or the incessant rumors about the alleged affair between her and Prince William (which have been disproven). But Hanbury is many things: a mom of three, a former model, an interior designer, and a charitable spirit. While we know she’s still actively helping with charities, it seems that she may still be working on a former side hustles: interior design.
Interior architect Beata Heuman shared something to an Instagram story, shouting out @houghton_hall, and an account many may not know about @thehoughtoncollection. Now, what is the Houghton Collection? Per their bio, they’re a “collection of furniture and wallpapers inspired by Houghton Hall and Cholmondeley Castle,” also known as Rose’s residence.
Now, this collection was founded by her husband Lord Cholmondeley and many of the pieces are done at Houghton Hall, by cabinet maker John Ives. When you look at their website, you can actually see photos of Rose in the workshop, helping out.
Not only that, but her past interior design project was through this, and it seems she’s never stopped helping out this interior design business.
For those who don’t know, on May 4, 2022, Hanbury revealed she’s dabbled in design! On the shared Instagram page @houghton_hall, it was shown that hanbury and Martina Mondadori worked with the brand Cabana, alongside Houghton. They created a collection “inspired by the extraordinary interiors of this fine Palladian house,” and it seemed like a big hit! Plus, this ongoing collection is still available on their website.
