As rumors circulate regarding an alleged affair between Prince William and Kate Middleton's close friend, Rose Hanbury, Graham Smith, the chief of the anti-monarchy group Republic, has come forward to offer a defense for the future King.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday, Smith remarked, "These rumors have persisted for several years. While someone knowledgeable once informed me that there's no concrete evidence to substantiate these claims, one can't help but wonder about their validity given their longevity."
In contrast, Kate Middleton has remained silent regarding the allegations surrounding her husband's rumored relationship with her friend, Rose Hanbury.
Adding fuel to the fire, British TV presenter Piers Morgan suggested that Prince William might be "attempting to conceal something." He disclosed, "I've heard certain things that I cannot verify as true. If these rumors hold any truth, it raises serious concerns about the state of affairs within the royal family."
Smith's comments were prompted by a tweet from Dr. Shola, who expressed her bewilderment about the ongoing speculation. She wrote, "I must have missed something. Who exactly is Lady Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley? With the media abuzz about a potential affair, I can't help but wonder if there's any substance to these #KateGate rumors."
In response to Smith's remarks, royal commentator Dr. Shola opined, “While I firmly believe that the intricacies of a marriage should remain private, if these allegations hold any truth, the Royal Family could face another major scandal akin to the 'Camilla gate' incident."
