For further proof that the Rose Hanbury story is likely much ado about nothing, OK reports that Hanbury and the Princess of Wales are close with one another despite past “tension”—not necessarily something that would be the case if the rumors surrounding Prince William cheating on Kate with Hanbury were true.
Marie Claire spoke yesterday about Kate’s affinity for her country home, Anmer Hall, which is on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Norfolk is “a tight-knit community, especially among the posh estate owners,” an insider says, and Hanbury lives about 15 minutes away from the country home William and Kate share with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. William and Hanbury’s rumored affair apparently made for an awkward situation in the tight-knit Norfolk, but Kate and Hanbury saw one another as recently as King Charles’ Coronation last month: Hanbury’s son Oliver served as a Page of Honor alongside George.
