Lady Rose Hanbury has been facing rumors of an alleged affair with Prince William, which she and her representatives have vehemently denied. Royal expert Nick Bullen defended Hanbury, stating that she was not involved in any affair with the Prince of Wales. Hanbury, who is married to David Cholmondeley, has expressed her distress over the persistent rumors.
The rumors resurfaced recently amid speculation about Kate Middleton's absence from the public eye due to surgery. Internet sleuths and even a talk show host fueled the gossip, suggesting a possible connection between Middleton's surgery and the alleged affair.
