Prince William is facing a new scandal over his alleged affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.
The story of this alleged infidelity dates back four years, when British tabloids published some photos in which William was allegedly very close to Rose at an event.
The royal household made no comment, and the matter was forgotten. This year, however, the rumor has resurfaced with a vengeance.
Now, according to Omid Scobie’s book “Endgame,” Rose’s name is back in the news for the alleged affair.
It also reveals Prince William’s reaction when asked about the true nature of his relationship with the aristocrat.
What did Prince William say about Rose Hanbury?
The book claims that Kensington Palace press officer Cristian Jones was so concerned about the rumors of William’s infidelity that he went so far as to ask the prince directly if they were true.
According to the book, Prince William was furious when questioned about his alleged relationship with Rose Hanbury.
William flatly denied any allegations of an affair with Rose Hanbury.
The text also states that in order to divert attention from this scandal, another controversy was exploited: that of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Thus, the alleged romance of William and Rose was forgotten and was the strategy to divert attention.
Despite the controversy over Prince William’s alleged infidelity, the truth is that both he and his wife Kate remain close to the Cholmondeley family.
All indications are that there has been no break between the two couples. In August, Kate Middleton attended a music festival with Rose at Houghton Hall, the Marquise’s residence.
The photos posted on social media show the two friends enjoying the event, oblivious to the controversy surrounding them.
