There have been many big royal scandals over the years. Sometimes, the British monarchy’s activities become the biggest news and everyone gets very interested.
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 Easter time, 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.
Then, there was a problem with a photo of Kate and her kids released for Mother’s Day in the UK. This made people all over the world interested in different theories.
One theory was that Kate and Prince William were having problems in their marriage. Some people thought Kate needed to stay away from the public eye until things got better.
We need to say that there’s no proof that William and Kate’s marriage is in trouble. But lots of people are curious about it.
One big rumor is that William had an affair with Rose Hanbury, a friend of theirs.
Reports say Rose Hanbury and her husband have been friends with William and Kate for a while. Some years ago, there was a rumor that Kate and Rose had a fight because Rose was having an affair with William.
Even though it’s been five years since that rumor, people are still talking about it. Last week, there were lots of articles about Rose. Some news outlets were even accused of getting ready to make the affair rumor official news.
But it seems like all these rumors are just made up. Rose Hanbury herself said there was never an affair. Business Insider asked Rose’s lawyers about it, and they said the rumors were totally false.
