There is a photo that has shaken the foundations of Buckingham Palace and put at risk the marriage of Prince William, 40, and Kate Middleton, 41.
In it the Prince of Wales is seen with Rose Hanbury, 38, apparently kissing, which has exploded in a case of alleged infidelity.
As reported by British media, William had been caught in a night out in a bar with his alleged mistress, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, who was a close friend of Kate.
Prince William and Rose Hanbury kissing
The dissemination of the photograph would evidence Prince William’s infidelity to his wife Kate Middleton.
Although the image was spread both by social networks and by the main British newspapers, all the information has disappeared.
One of the hypotheses is that Buckingham Palace could have appealed to the so-called ‘super-interdiction’, a legal tool resorted to by the most powerful individuals and corporations when they want to silence the media.
However, nothing is yet confirmed.
The image shows the then Duke of Cambridge in a nightclub enjoying the company of a woman, who would be Hanbury.
Tabloids point out that Middleton and the Marquise’s friendship was good as they became neighbors at Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
But then something happened between the two of them and today the Princess of Wales no longer allows her presence at royal family events.
How did the story of Prince William’s alleged mistress come about?
The Sun newspaper had reported before the photographs came out that the relationship between Middleton and her former friend was “much worse than previously thought”.
They even went so far as to point out that William intervened in the quarrel since he enjoyed going on marital outings with Rose and her husband so much.
From the Palace they have not pronounced on the subject, but behind closed doors they have made it clear that the story is “wrong and false”.
There is no pretty clear evidence about William’s alleged infidelity, apart from the fact that Kate has stayed away from Rose.
Background and Connection to the Royals
Rose Hanbury’s connections to the royal family are deep and historical. Not only did her grandmother serve as one of Queen Elizabeth II’s bridesmaids, but her son also played a role in King Charles’s coronation, illustrating the longstanding ties between her family and the monarchy.
Moreover, the absence of Kate Middleton from the public eye since December 25th has led to rampant speculation on social media, including various theories that involve Hanbury.

Legal and Public Response
In light of these events, the legal denials and the lack of a formal response from Kensington Palace raise questions about privacy, media ethics, and the boundaries of public scrutiny.
The case underscores the challenges faced by public figures in managing their personal lives in the public eye.
While the truth behind the photographs and the nature of the relationship between Prince William and Rose Hanbury remain unclear, the public and media response to the situation illustrates the complexities of life in the royal spotlight.
The balance between public interest and personal privacy remains a contentious issue, as the world watches this issue unfold.
