About

Sarah Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley is a British peeress and a former model who is rumored to be the mistress of Prince William of the British royal family and the possible reason for suspected discord among William and his wife Kate Middleton.

Online History

2019 Cheating Rumor

On March 22nd, 2019, British tabloid The Sun[1] reported on a falling out between British Princess Kate Middleton and her long-term friend Rose Hanbury, writing that the Princess viewed Hanbury as a "rural rival" and told Prince William to "phase her out" as one of the couple's closest confidantes. The article did not provide an explanation for the rivalry, but cited a source that claimed that "it was well known that Kate and Rose had had a terrible falling out." The article was later removed from the website. On March 24th, the Daily Mail[2] published an article that considered that the rivalry was simply a rumor.

The reported rivalry led to speculations on gossip blogs and social media, including a rumor that Prince William might have cheated with Rose Hanbury during Kate Middleton's third pregnancy in 2018. For example, on March 30th, 2019, journalist Nicole Cliffe made an X[3] / Twitter thread in which she relayed speculations that William was caught having an affair with Hanbury and that a friend of Hanbury leaked the story after she herself admitted to the affair. The first post in the thread (since deleted) received over 1,400 reposts and 9,400 likes prior to being removed (shown below, left and right).
