Prince William’s Affair Rumors Resurface Amid Harry’s Revelations

The whispers surrounding Prince William's alleged affair with Rose Hanbury have once again ignited public interest, especially following recent comments made by Prince Harry.

In a trailer for the second half of the Sussexes' Netflix series, Harry suggested that the royal family has gone to great lengths to shield William from scandal while failing to extend the same courtesy to him and Meghan Markle.

This statement has reignited speculation about whether the palace actively suppressed rumors of William's supposed infidelity.

Back in 2019, Prince William found himself at the center of a media storm when rumors surfaced regarding his friendship with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.

Now, years later, these allegations are resurfacing, fueled by Harry's assertion that the palace prioritized protecting William over being truthful about their family's issues.

The implication is clear: while William may have been sheltered from scrutiny, Harry and Meghan were left exposed to the tabloids.

In the Netflix trailer, Harry stated, “They were happy to lie to protect my brother; they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us.” This revelation has led royal watchers to ponder if the palace was indeed involved in burying the story about William and Rose to shift focus away from Harry and Meghan, particularly during Meghan's pregnancy.

For those unfamiliar with the players in this drama, Rose Hanbury is married to David Philip Cholmondeley, who is notably 18 years her senior.

The couple tied the knot in 2009 after a brief courtship.

Since then, Rose has often been portrayed as a rival to Catherine, the Princess of Wales, with whom she once shared a close friendship.

However, reports of a significant fallout between the two women emerged in 2019, further complicating their relationship.

Despite the tension, Rose was present at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September but notably did not appear alongside any senior royals.

This absence raised eyebrows and added fuel to the fire of ongoing speculation regarding her ties to the royal family and the alleged affair.

Interestingly, some insiders suggest that Meghan Markle may have played a role in spreading the rumors about Prince William's supposed indiscretion.

Reports indicate that since “Megxit,” the dynamics between the Cambridges and Sussexes have become strained.

An unnamed source revealed that Meghan had an unusual fixation on William and Catherine's marriage, wanting to know every detail about their private lives.

This insider went so far as to hint that Meghan could be behind the leaks concerning William's alleged affair.

When the cheating rumors dominated American tabloids in 2019, many pointed fingers at Meghan, who was then newly married and living in the UK, claiming she was well aware of the inner workings of the royal household.

The source elaborated on Meghan's keen interest in both William and Catherine's relationship and her connection to Rose Hanbury.

They noted that the affair rumors appeared in a magazine, In Touch, which Meghan was familiar with due to her previous appearances in its pages while building her own celebrity status.

Before her marriage to Harry, Meghan reportedly worked hard to establish herself in the media, collaborating with publicists to ensure her presence in weekly magazines.

This background has led some royal observers to blame her for the leaks surrounding William's alleged affair, suggesting that her knowledge of the media landscape gave her the tools to manipulate narratives.

In 2022, royal expert Andrew Morton weighed in on the situation, labeling the rumors as false and toxic.
