She has already been nicknamed "the new Camilla": Rose Hanbury, a former model and political consultant, is back in the spotlight due to an alleged clandestine relationship with Prince William. Following Kate Middleton's illness and the case of the retouched photo, various theories about "Kate's disappearance" have started circulating on the web. One of these concerns the marriage crisis, and her name is not new, as there was talk of infidelity already in 2019.

Who is Rose

Rose Hanbury is a former model and political consultant, born in 1984, married to David Cholmondeley, the seventh Marquess of Cholmondeley, who is 24 years her senior. She is connected to the royals through a family history: her grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambart, was a bridesmaid at the wedding between Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in 1947. The two were said to have been in contact, as good friends, until 2016, the year Lady Elizabeth passed away. The relationship with Prince William would be considered the fruit of a long-standing acquaintance. From her union with her husband, three children were born, raised alongside the royal couple's children. They live at Houghton Hall, an estate in Norfolk that is located near Anmer Hall, Prince William and Kate Middleton's preferred residence.

Husband and Children

The couple formed by Rose Hanbury and David Cholmondeley, the seventh Marquess of Cholmondeley, who is 24 years her senior, have three children, twins Alexander Hugh George and Lord Oliver Timothy George, born in October 2009, and Lady Iris Marina Aline Cholmondeley, born in March 2016. Lord Oliver Cholmondeley was a page of honor at the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

The Alleged Animosity between Kate Middleton and Rose Hanbury

Over the years, the English gossip has always talked about Kate Middleton and Rose Hanbury as two dear friends, before the drastic separation that came alongside the rumors of the alleged affair. The two had a falling out, after which Kate reportedly asked William to distance Rose Hanbury and to no longer consider her as one of his closest confidantes. The reasons for the interrupted friendship were never made known, in 2019 an anonymous source to The Sun reported: "It is well known that they had a falling out, they were close, but not anymore." The most recent episode that finds confirmation in the princess's animosity dates back to last year, when, according to court gossip, Camilla invited Hanbury to the coronation of King Charles III. A behavior that would have made Middleton frown to the point of not bowing in front of the new Queen.
