Kate Middleton, who was last seen publicly on Christmas Day, is reportedly facing significant emotional strain amidst swirling rumors of marital discord with Prince William. These speculations, largely fueled by conspiracy theorists, suggest that the royal couple might be on the brink of a divorce due to allegations of Prince William's affair with Rose Hanbury.
Media sources, quoting anonymous insiders, have claimed that the royal family is attempting to keep the situation discreet. Social media has been abuzz with theories, with some users, as reported by Marca, suggesting that William and Kate's marriage is in jeopardy over the alleged involvement of the heir to the throne with Hanbury.
In light of these ongoing developments, King Charles has issued a recent statement addressing the situation within the royal family. Despite undergoing cancer treatment, the monarch remains informed about the latest occurrences. However, sources from Buckingham Palace, speaking to Bazaar, indicate that Charles does not seem overly alarmed by the current circumstances.
This statement from King Charles comes amidst a backdrop of controversies, including manipulated photos of Kate and the alleged affair between Prince William and Rose Hanbury. Nonetheless, Charles appears to dismiss any rumors concerning Kate's health or William's purported affair.
On a lighter note, during Tuesday's Late Show, Stephen Colbert made a jest about the alleged affair between William and his neighbor, Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley. The palace has consistently refuted any claims of an affair.
Meanwhile, a close friend of Kate has expressed strong disapproval of the media's relentless scrutiny of her amidst the turmoil. The friend, speaking to The Daily Beast, criticized the media for targeting Kate over "mistakes made by others," labeling the treatment as unjust.
