Prince William and Princess Kate have long been seen as the perfect royal couple. They met at the University of St Andrews, moved in together with friends, and their romance soon blossomed. Despite ups and downs, including cruel nicknames from William’s “snooty” friends due to Kate’s middle-class background, their bond remained strong.
But years later, shocking rumors rocked the palace — William was accused of having an affair with one of Kate’s close friends. Fans were stunned. Could the future king really betray his wife?
Though nothing was ever confirmed, whispers of a royal scandal still linger.
William was rumored to have had an affair with Kate’s friend Rose Hanbury
Rumors swirled in 2019 that Prince William had an affair with Rose Hanbury—Kate’s friend and the Marchioness of Cholmondeley. Nothing was ever confirmed.
Reports claimed Kate confronted William, but he “laughed it off.” Royal expert Richard Kay dismissed it all as “false and hurtful gossip.
Still, tabloids said Kate distanced herself from Rose that year. The tension didn’t go unnoticed—especially since Rose lived nearby in a 106-room estate, part of the same elite circle.
Rose isn’t new to royalty. Her grandmother was a bridesmaid at Queen Elizabeth’s wedding.
“Hurtful” affair rumors “simply false,” says insider
