The Disappearing of Rose Hanbury


A timeline of the Marchioness of Cholmondeley’s media coverage shows reports of an alleged affair with Prince William have quietly disappeared.

According to a Daily Beast story from April 2019, royal lawyers sent strongly worded letters to at least one media outlet warning them off reporting on the affair rumors, not just because they were “false and highly damaging,” but because they apparently violated Article 8 of the European Convention to Human Rights, they claimed. If you’ve been following the latest Kate Middleton hoo-hah but have been at a loss to understand what a ‘rural rivalry’ is, it’s Fleet Street’s way of hinting at the long-standing society rumor that Prince William has been caught slinging it up their family friend, Rose Hanbury.” (A screenshot of the item is posted on Mumsnet on March 29, 2019, and laterreporting by the Daily Beast shows that the image accurately reflects the text.) Images of Rose and David posing inside their historic home (for the Vanity Fair and Financial Times stories listed earlier in this timeline) went viral on Chinese social-media sites as people recognized artwork and furniture dating from the Qing dynasty in the background.
