00:00If there's one person that both Prince William and Kate Middleton don't want to talk about,
00:05it's Rose Hanbury. Back in 2019, there was some speculation that the Duke of Cambridge
00:11was possibly getting up close and personal with Hanbury, who at the time was being described as
00:17her, quote, rural rival from their hometown of Norfolk. According to the Daily Mail,
00:22Hanbury was reportedly considered to be a part of Kate's social circle, but according to the Mail,
00:27she was phased out of the group after a massive falling out.
00:31Royal Protocol dictates that members of the royal family not comment on disparaging rumors,
00:36but that doesn't mean the word doesn't get around within the family. One insider close to the
00:41situation told Hollywood Life that while the Cambridges try to ignore all of the noise that
00:46is written and gossiped about them, this one has really rocked them. The rumor is ugly and so false,
00:53they couldn't just ignore it. William and Kate have not been photographed near Hanbury since the
00:58cheating rumor reared its ugly head, although she was at a state dinner when the royal family hosted
01:03former President Donald Trump back in 2019. Well, now it looks like William's latest appearance has
01:09everyone talking about the alleged affair again, and for the most awkward reason, too. While everyone
01:15is talking about how Queen Elizabeth was absent for the opening of Parliament because of mobility issues,
01:20it was hard not to notice that another certain person was there โ€” Rose Hanbury's husband,
01:26David Chumley. As a matter of fact, there are several photos from the event that show the Duke
01:31of Cambridge actually walking behind Chumley before everyone took their seats. A lot of royal fans and
01:37critics alike also couldn't help but notice William's facial expressions in the photos, which seemed
01:42decidedly downcast. This prompted several comments. One person tweeted,
01:47"...y'all think Prince William was mad about being forced to walk behind Rose Hanbury's husband?"
01:52Another chided,
01:54"...William has the Windsor Mean Face going on!"
01:57It remains unclear what William was upset about, if he was even upset at all,
02:01but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning out gossip about the presumptive future king.
02:06Following the resurgence of rumors regarding Prince William's alleged affair with Rose Hanbury,
02:11many might be wondering whether or not history is doomed to repeat itself.
02:16William's father, Prince Charles, is notoriously no stranger to infidelity,
02:20being embroiled in a high-profile affair with Camilla Parker Bowles during his marriage to Princess
02:25Diana. It's entirely possible โ€” and according to some, likely โ€” that the rumors about the father of
02:31three being unfaithful to his wife are simply rumors. Royal watchers have pointed out that despite
02:37all of the noise, there has never been concrete evidence about an affair on William's part โ€” with
02:42Hanbury or anybody else. Considering the very confirmed extramarital affairs that occurred during
02:48his parents' marriage, it would strike many as surprising if William was engaging in similar behavior.
02:54One person who would perhaps be the most disappointed is his late mother. In her landmark
02:59Panorama interview, Princess Diana related how she handled the topic of infidelity in her marriage
03:05with her children. Shortly after Prince Charles' public admission about the affair, Diana said,
03:10She sat William down and had a poignant conversation about what his father had done.
03:15Her words are thought to have made a big impression on the young heir to the throne.
03:19"'If you find someone you love in life, you must hang on to it and look after it.
03:23If you were lucky enough to find someone who loved you, then we must protect it."
