Their son Lucasaged three, was also present.

The two women know it, the image of their knowing smiles and the mere presence of the marquise will get people talking. They send a strong signal: Rose Hanbury is a figure of the highest British aristocracy dear to the hearts of senior members from Buckingham Palace, free from all suspicion.

Tensions with Kate Middleton?

Born on March 15, 1984 in England, Rose Hanbury was destined to belong to the British social elite even before her birth: her paternal grandmother, Lady Rose Lambertwas one of the bridesmaids ofElizabeth II during her marriage to the prince Philip in 1947. Daughter of Timothy Hanburygraphic designer, andEmma Hanburya fashion designer, she carved out her own place in the aristocracy, thanks in part to her marriage, in 2009, to David Cholmondeley – the last Marquess of Cholmondeley – born in 1960. The latter held the official position of Lord Grand Chamberlain until the death of the Queen. Long neighbors of Kate and William through their residence in Norfolk, they are parents of three children.

In March 2023, the Marquess was appointed permanent Lord-in-Waiting to Charles III. He is thus invited to attend important official ceremonies. Friend of Prince William, he will also represent his father at royal events. As a retired senior official of the crown, he was personally appointed by the king, in an apolitical manner. For her part, Rose Hanbury was present alongside the royal family at every highlight of the monarchy in recent years: in addition to the coronation, she attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the funeral service of Prince Philip. Since rumors of adultery circulated, it has been rumored that Kate Middleton has broken ties with the Marquise and done everything to keep her away from her relationship and the corridors of Buckingham Palace.

These rumors resurfaced during the princess’s absence, which some blamed on a potential marital dispute over the prince’s alleged adultery with the marquise. During the episode of Late Show With Stephen Colbert broadcast on March 12, the American presenter Stephen Colbert joked rumors: “The kingdom has been shocked by the apparent disappearance of Kate Middleton. Internet experts speculate that Kate’s absence could be linked to her husband’s affair with the future King of England, William. I think we all know who the other alleged woman is. Say it with me: the Marchioness of Cholmondeley – what a beautiful name! »

The official announcement of the Princess of Wales’ cancer has silenced malicious speculation. Since then and in the face of media relentlessness, Rose Hanbury has announced in a press release from her lawyers that “all of these allegations are completely false”.
