    BREAKING: Rose Hanbury breaks silence to answer allegations over Prince William affair… Kate Middleton sends strong message to Rose Hanbury on having an affair with her husband Prince William
     

    There have been an untold number of well-publicized royal scandals over the years, many points in history where the ongoings of the British monarchy have dominated newspaper headlines and whipped the general public into a frenzy.

     

    The current state of affairs must surely rank among the most tantalizing.

    Not only has the whole saga regarding Kate Middleton’s recovery from a mysterious abdominal procedure captivated all and sundry since January, but King Charles also received a shock cancer diagnosis. That’s not to mention the ever-present controversy where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are concerned.

     

     

    In most other decades the reigning monarch’s fight against cancer would be the focal point of the media attention. It speaks volumes, then, that the maelstrom of speculation surrounding Kate has virtually pushed all other topics into the shadows.

    It could be argued that the royals only have themselves to blame for the intense scrutiny placed upon Kate’s recovery. Aside from confirming that the Princess of Wales was undergoing a “planned abdominal procedure” in January, adding that she would be out of action until around for a while, the Palace has been thrifty to the point of arousing suspicion with its updates.

    Just what Kate was suffering from that required surgery remains unknown to the public. Compounding the sense of confusion was the fact that Kate – until last week – hadn’t been seen since Christmas.

     

    And if the vacuum of concrete information brought the pot of speculation to boiling point, the debacle surrounding the image of Kate and her children released to mark Mother’s Day in the UK blew the lid off with such force that the various conspiracy theories suddenly became of interest worldwide.

    Among the mostly hotly debated possibilities was that Kate and Prince William were experiencing marital troubles, the likes of which had left Kate with no option but to withdraw from the spotlight until a solution could be found.

    At this stage we’d be remiss in our duties if we didn’t point out that any and all reports of William and Kate’s romance being in crisis remain unconfirmed. That said, the topic has generated enough attention to make it an undeniable fact that the public are at the very least extremely intrigued.

    The crux of the aforementioned marital bother William and Kate are purported to have found themselves in centers around the rumor that William had engaged in an affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.

    According to reports, Rose and her husband David Rocksavage, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, have been in William and Kate’s social circle for some time. Once upon a time, the ever-reliable Sun newspaper tried to flog speculation that Kate and Rose had a falling out (leading to a not-insignificant amount of people claiming the cause was an affair between Rose and William).

    And it seems as though that candle of scandal continues to burn even today, some five years since The Sun published the aforesaid information.

    Last week there were multiple articles written about Rose – in the midst of the media throng to find out where Kate Middleton was – with some news outlets even being accused of ‘soft-launching’ the Marchioness in preparation for a time wherein her alleged affair with William became official news.

    Of course, the outlandish rumors appear to be just that… outlandish. Even so, Rose Hanbury herself was bothered enough to break her silence and firmly deny that any affair had ever taken place.

    As per reports, Business Insider reached out to Rose’s lawyers this weekend for comment. The reply they got read: “The rumors are completely false.”

    So there you have it… case closed, perhaps, maybe, for now.

    What do you think to the incessant speculation about Kate Middleton and Prince William? Let us know in the comments.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are seemingly set to carry out big plans but they will be doing so separately given their opposite aspirations.

     

    The Duke of Sussex, who has reportedly been looking at properties in the UK has seemingly made up his mind over his UK plans whether his wife Meghan Markle accompanies him or not, suggested royal commentator Kinsey Schofield.

    “I hear that Harry is both content with his new lifestyle and homesick,” she told Fox News Digital. “It just depends on the day. I’m sure Harry could get homesick, and we know that he is prone to wearing his heart on his sleeve.”

    On the other hand, Meghan is focussed on her lifestyle brand, American Riveria Orchard

    Schofield added that the Duchess of Sussex has “likely permitted him to try to establish an additional residence in the UK if that will make him happy, but I doubt she has any desire to participate in the process or visit.”

    While Harry is ready to make a move to the UK, Schofield explained that the royal

    “won’t make any drastic or financial moves until he settles his security issues.”

    Prince Harry is currently pursuing a legal battle to get back the level of security he previously had before he stepped down as a senior working royal in 2020.

    King Charles’ former butler, Grant Harrold, had previously told the New York Post that Harry had been looking at UK properties.

    Although, Schofield believes that if Harry were to move to the UK temporarily, Meghan would not accompany him for a big reason.

    “She feels rejected by the UK and that does not sit well with her,” Schofield claimed. “I don’t even think she has any desire to win them over again. Meghan is totally focused on winning over the elite in Hollywood. With jam. And dog treats.”

    Earl Spencer Rejects Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Request Over Althorp House: ‘Estate Belongs to My Son’…Full story below

    Prince Harry and Prince William, who inherited a significant portion of their mother Princess Diana’s belongings after her tragic death, will not inherit her childhood home, Althorp Estate.

     

    Earl Spencer and Meghan Markle

    Instead, this historic property will pass to their cousin, Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp. This surprising inheritance decision is rooted in the British aristocratic system of primogeniture, which favors the eldest male heir.

    Princess Diana tragically died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, a calamity that also claimed the lives of her driver Henry Paul and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed. The devastating event left Diana’s sons, Harry and William, inheriting the bulk of a £13 million fortune and a significant collection of jewelry. However, Althorp Estate, which has been in the Spencer family since 1508, follows the tradition of passing down to the oldest male heir. Louis Spencer, the son of Diana’s brother, Earl Charles Spencer, is the designated heir to Althorp despite having three older sisters. The estate will bypass them due to the rules of primogeniture.

    The estate, where Diana spent much of her childhood and where she was laid to rest, will eventually become Louis’s responsibility. The sprawling property opens its doors to visitors each summer, offering a glimpse into the late princess’s early life. Louis Spencer, who studied at the University of Edinburgh and trained at a drama school in Chiswick, London, is currently building his career as an actor, represented by Tavistock Wood talent agency. Louis prefers to maintain a low profile; a source close to the family told The Telegraph, “He’s super private and gets on quietly with his things. He’s a very talented actor, and I think he’ll be a brilliant one. You’d like him—he’s very low-key, genuine, decent, kind, tall, and handsome.”

    BREAKING NEWS: Kate Middleton and Prince William plan to move Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis away from Buckingham Palace

     

    Kate Middleton and Prince William could be set to make a very bold move that would see their two children move away from the royal residence of Buckingham Palace.

     

    With King Charles III implementing a new policy that is aimed to reduce the number of working royals in the family, a lot of thinking is being done about the futures of the youngest royals in the family.

    Prince George, the oldest of Kate and William’s three children, is heir to the throne and can become King in the future, but it begs the question as to what will happen with his two siblings, Charlotte and Louis.

    Sources close to Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, told The Daily Mail and The Daily Beast that they have taken a decision about their two youngest children.

    Fears they could end up like Harry

    The family do not want the children to develop the same ‘spare’ mentality that has characterized Prince Harry’s recent royal career.

    Therefore, William and Kate want their two children to pursue a future away from Buckingham Palace so that they can find genuine meaning.

    Of course, this hardly means they are being left to fend for themselves as some sort of occupation will be found for them through royal contacts.

    It is clear that Princess Charlotte is a very popular little girl, having recently met Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce at a Taylor Swift show in London.

    Travis said that Princess Charlotte was an absolute delight. Jason responded by saying: “Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte. Prince George was great, too. She was so f****** adorable. Like, I cannot express how… I don’t know, maybe it’s because I have three girls now. She had fire to her, she was asking questions, that was the most electric part.”

    Duchess Sophie’s ‘gentle’ dig at Oprah after explosive Meghan Markle interview

    Sophie hit out at the bombshell TV special in her own very understated way – whilst still managing to navigate royal protocol.

    Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie took a subtle swipe at Oprah

    The Royal Family motto is never complain, never explain.

    So it’s little wonder that frontline royals made little comment on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in 2021.

    But the American TV special was littered with allegations which took aim at the Firm, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claiming they’d not been supported as they struggled with their mental health.

    Harry also claimed his brother Prince William and King Charles were “trapped” inside the monarchy – and seemed to criticise his father’s parenting in subsequent interviews.

    Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and Prince Edward’s wife, made her own subtle dig at the Sussexes’ appearance on the TV show in a very understated way.

    Sophie said that there was no reason people who don't watch chat shows should know who Oprah is

    Sophie and Edward joked by claiming “Oprah who?” when asked whether they had sat down and watched the Sussexes’ CBS chat.

    Sophie then added: “Yes, what interview?”

    This was followed up when Sophie then admitted there was “no reason to know who” the US chat show legend was.

    She was criticised at the time by some on social media as the 59-year-old visited the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in 2013.

    Sophie visited the course and its students in Meyerton, South Africa, as part of a week-long visit to the country with her husband Edward.

    Trending

    Sophie’s remark came up after the couple were quizzed about a moment when Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, had a long conversation with Oprah – but was unaware of who she was during their chat.

    Speaking to the Telegraph, Sophie defended the Archbishop, adding: “You know, if you’re not into chat shows, there’s no reason why you should know who she is.

    “Certainly not in this country, anyway.”

    During the same interview, Sophie discussed Harry’s return to the UK following the death of his grandfather Prince Philip, so he could attend the funeral.

    But Sophie said it was “nice” to see the Duke of Sussex and the pair had a “lengthy chat” upon his return.

    It appears that relations between the brothers are as frosty as ever – snubbing an opportunity to put on a united front.

    The pair attended the Diana Legacy Award event to pay tribute to their late mother – but the Duke of Sussex joined remotely from Montecito in California while the Prince of Wales delivered a speech in person to mark the charity’s 25th anniversary.

    The 28-year-old was in a relationship with the fifth-in-line to the throne for two years with many believing she would be the one to become Prince Harry’s bride.

    The “It girl” was introduced to Prince Harry by Princess Eugenie in May 2012 and accompanied the royal on her first official engagement in March 2014, before splitting amicably a month later.

    No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells it all

    Cressida’s Instagram post

    On Tuesday, after the engagement news, Cressida published a picture on her Instagram account of two people on swings reaching out their hands to each other with words saying: “No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells it all.”

    Prince Harry’s former flame then wrote underneath the picture “#quotestoliveby”.

     

    Her followers applauded the quote with many saying “wise words” and others calling the picture “perfect”.

    Cressida, an actress, dancer and model, could be expected to attend the wedding at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle in May 2018.

    Many people speculated their split could have been because Cressida struggled to deal with the attention of being the girlfriend of the Prince.

    Scroll back up to restore default view.

    Loose Women’s head honcho Charlene White sparked concern among viewers about her future on the popular chat show after receiving a live on-air warning for tardiness.

    The panel, featuring Brenda Edwards, Coleen Nolan, and EastEnders icon Natalie Cassidy, were in the midst of a lively debate about punctuality when Natalie admitted to being an early riser. Charlene opened the discussion with a quip: “First Natalie, apparently, was early for our morning meeting today. I say ‘apparently’ because I was late! But you’re always on time for everything, right?”

    Natalie’s admission, “On time for me is early,” elicited laughter from the audience and her co-stars, but Coleen Nolan didn’t hold back, chiding: “If you’re late for work, for me, that’s really unprofessional.”

    Despite Charlene’s protests that her lateness was beyond her control, Coleen issued a stern caution: “Well I’m going to take a note. That’s your first warning, live on-air.” A visibly anxious Charlene responded with a nervous chuckle: “Three strikes and I’m out?”

    However, Charlene wasn’t the only one feeling the heat; she later jokingly reprimanded Brenda for her incessant giggling during a segment about Brenda’s “mystery man”, threatening to ban her from the show if she didn’t compose herself, though quickly adding, “I’m actually gonna ban Brenda from this programme if she doesn’t stop giggling. I love you though.”

    It turned out Brenda’s man wasn’t even real she’d “manifested” him to attract a genuine Mr. Right into her life. Brenda insisted that decent blokes only seem to pop up when she’s taken, so she’s conjured up an imaginary beau for the time being.

    “I’m going to end it there, because I really don’t know where else I can go with that one,” Charlene quipped, wrapping up the segment on the ITV daytime show rather abruptly.

    In another part of the programme, Natalie was eager to share the pearls of wisdom the late Dame Barbara Windsor imparted during their time on EastEnders. However, the mood shifted when Charlene accidentally spilled the beans on a “private” conversation they had backstage.

    Charlene remarked: “She could be tough with you without saying a word. Like, if you’d had a night out when you were working the next day?” Natalie retorted: “Thank you for that! It was a private conversation in the green room! But I remember going out with H from Steps one night – it was early 2000s, maybe very late 90s.”

    “I came into work and it was in the days when EastEnders stars were on the front of papers, it was a big thing back then. I remember walking in and me and H from Steps were on the front of The Sun. I remember walking past and seeing Barbara with a paper. I was like, ‘I have been out but I am on time! ‘ but I don’t think I ever did it again!”

    Denise Welch has shared some pre-wedding details after travelling to California to spend some time with her son Matty Healy’s fiancée’s family.

    The TV star, 66, who is a proud mum to 1975 singer Matty, 35, spoke about her trip on Wednesday’s Loose Women. Matty proposed to Gabbriette Bechtel last month and Denise flew out to the US to meet and spend some time with her future daughter-in-law’s loved ones last month.

    Speaking on Wednesday’s Loose Women, Denise’s co-star, Kaye Adams, said: “Now, Denise, you spoke a couple of weeks ago about your son Matty’s engagement to his fiancée Gabby. Very exciting, of course, you’ve been doing some pre-wedding schmoozing with the in-laws!”

    Denise then explained: “We went over to LA to see Matty and Gabby and celebrate the engagement. Gabby is so busy modelling and she’s very hot right now, which is fabulous, so she couldn’t join us. So we went up to see her mum and dad, who we had met once before, Chayo and Gary, we absolutely adore them!”

    Denise spent some time in Laguna Beach with Gabbritte’s mum last month, and shared some sweet snaps of her extended family. It comes as Denise said she was feeling “blessed” after the announcement of son Matty’s engagement to Gabbriette.

    Loose Women panellist Denise previously confirmed the news of her son’s engagement after Gabbriette posted a series of snaps on Instagram revealing the news to fans while she and Matty supported friend Charli XCX in concert. Gabbriette posted a picture of her black diamond engagement ring and tagged Matty’s Instagram account with the caption: “Marrying The 1975 is very brat,” in reference to Charli XCX’s new album.

    After confirming the news on Loose Women last month, Denise shared a lengthy Instagram post revealing she feels “blessed” over the news. She wrote: “What a day!!! I wake up to find that @gabbriette and Matty had gone Instagram official on their engagement so I was able to tell everyone!!!

    “I’m so happy to be blessed with a wonderful daughter in law to be and to share this news with @chayobechtel and @gary.bechtel . Then @robbiewilliams popped by @loosewomen to say hi to his wife @aydafieldwilliams and ended up joining the panel!!

    On Loose Women, Denise was previously quizzed on the news that Gabbriette would soon become her daughter-in-law. She said: “I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged. They went over to see their friends Charli and George in New York. I woke up this morning to the fact they’ve put it on Instagram. Instagram official, he has got engaged to Gabbriette. Black diamond, he had it made for her and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

    “She is from Los Angeles, she is absolutely gorgeous, she does have a rat. We couldn’t be happier, she is everything that I would want in a daughter in law.” Earlier this year, Matty was pictured introducing Gabbriette to his family. The couple supported Denise at her theatre stint in Manchester. The American singer spent time with Matty’s family at the show, including his younger brother Louis Healy, 22, their father Tim Healy, 72, and his wife Joan Anderton, 62.

    Denise shared a snap of them all together and wrote in the caption of the post: “Lovely to have the family in to see mum at work!!!” Matty, who is the son of Denise and Tim Healy, started dating Gabbriette last September. She is the lead singer of punk rock band Nasty Cherry while he is the frontman of The 1975.

    Their romance came after the high profile fling between Matty and pop star Taylor Swift. Taylor has since gone on to enjoy a high-profile relationship with Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce.

    Kate Garraway gives nod to Derek as she reveals sad reason she can’t vote

    Brits are headed to the polling stations this Thursday, July 4, but Kate Garraway revealed she wouldn’t be voting in the General Election as she gave a nod to her late husband.

    Kate Garraway admitted she wouldn’t be voting this Thursday, July 4, as she revealed finding her late husband’s polling card.

    The Good Morning Britain presenter was hosting the ITV breakfast programme along with Adil Ray as the pair announced a massive change to their show.

    But when chatting to election expert Alex Thomas, Kate admitted she and her 18-year-old daughter Darcey would not be able to vote as they hadn’t received their polling cards – but in a sad twist, the late Derek Draper did.

    “What happens if you haven’t registered to vote?”, she first said, “I’m in a situation, I was very excited, I thought my daughter, who has turned 18 recently, and I could go and vote for the first time.”

    The former lobbyist lost a lengthy battle against Covid-19 earlier this year, at the age of 56 years old. Kate then added, in reference to their teen daughter: “She’s now saying she doesn’t think she did properly register.”

    “Polling cards have come through the door, I haven’t had one for myself or her. The only polling card that’s come through the door is for Derek, sadly, who’s passed away. Is there any way around that situation?”

    Unfortunately for her, Alex Thomas let her know neither she nor Darcey would be able to vote this Thursday: “It’s too late now to register to vote.

    Earlier in the programme, as viewers were preparing for polling stations to open this Thursday at 7am, Kate Garraway and Adil Ray announced their programme would be a “politics-free zone” due to regulations.

    “You might be wondering why on the day of the election – because it is polling day today, by the way – we’re not actually discussing the issues related to the general election or interviewing the people that have a position on the issues,” Kate first said.

    She then went on: “We can’t talk about the issues because we have to follow certain broadcasting rules which means today’s Good Morning Britain is a ‘politics-free zone.’”

    In recent weeks, GMB hosts have focused their attention on various political leaders who agreed to endure their grilling – with the exception of Rishi Sunak who was called out for snubbing the programme. Instead, the prime minister was seen on the set of Loose Women and This Morning.

    On Wednesday, July 3, however, Sunak’s appearance was overshadowed by a string of awkward moments and a plethora of critical comments over on X, otherwise known as Twitter.
