Rose Hanbury, who was rumored to have had an affair with Prince William, reappeared publicly as she met with Queen Camilla on the final day of the Badminton Horse Trials at Badminton House in England, Us Weekly reported.
The Marchioness of Cholmondeley, smiling brightly, joined Camilla and makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury in the unexpected meeting. This marked Hanbury's first public appearance since March, when rumors of her alleged affair with Prince William resurfaced after initially circulating in 2019.
The speculation gained traction when Princess Kate reduced her royal duties following major abdominal surgery in January. In late March, Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis, stating she needed privacy as she began treatment.
Amid Kate's public absence, rumors intensified, suggesting her reduced royal presence might also be due to marital issues with William, linked to his alleged relationship with Hanbury. Despite Hanbury's lawyer denying the infidelity allegations, the rumors persisted.
Hanbury, once a close friend of Kate Middleton and a neighbor near the Waleses' Adelaide Cottage, has reignited speculation with her recent appearance alongside Queen Camilla. This meeting has led to claims that Hanbury remains accepted within the royal circle, even amidst the ongoing rumors.
