After Princess Catherine of Wales recently announced that she was battling a health issue, fans began responding to the news on social media.
While there were some fans who expressed genuine care and concern for the princess, there were others who developed their own theories about what is going on within the royal family.
Princess Catherine recently announced that she had been battling a cancer diagnosis after being notably absent from the public eye since January.
The princess asked for privacy as she dealth with this challenge.
The public’s reaction to this news has been a mixture of compassion, speculation, and some suspicion, leading to a series of rumors about the state of her marriage to Prince William.
Social media has been particularly abuzz with chatter, where one tweet starkly stated, “Now I know they’re getting a divorce. they’re probably already separated on paper.” The absence of Prince William at Princess Catherine’s side during the announcement seemed to strike a chord with the public.
The royal family has been accused of withholding the truth, with comments about the situation ranging from concern to outright disbelief. Responses to the initial tweet echoed these sentiments, with phrases like “Kate had marital problems” and “valid point” surfacing amongst the conversation.
The conjecture took a personal turn when individuals contrasted the behavior of Prince William with that of his brother, Harry. Observers pointed out that if Meghan Markle were in a similar situation, Harry would likely be right there, offering his hand for her to hold. The debate grew as people shared their observations, “it’s weird” that William was not by her side, which they believe most husbands would be in such circumstances.
These online discussions quickly escalated as the public attempted to piece together the narrative, with another individual stating, that if Princess Catherine was well enough to sit down to give a statement about her health, she must also be well enough to sit down to take a photo with her husband. The commenter concluded that the entire statement was a facade for something else.
The X conversation was sparked after a CNN video surfaced showing a doctor talking about Princess Catherine’s condition. Anderson Cooper, conducting the interview with the doctor, asked how it was possible for Princess Catherine to get a cancer diagnosis after undergoing surgery.
The doctor began by saying that the press release “doesn’t make a lot of medical sense,” saying that when someone goes in for a major surgery, such as the surgery Princess Catherine underwent in January, they typically didn’t go back under the knife for “exploratory surgery.”
The doctor also shared that all of the surgeries that Princess Catherine would have undergone would have been preceded by “extensive imaging” like CAT scans and MRIs. This imaging would have given Princess Catherine’s surgical team a good understanding of her health status and how they were going to handle it, which would then be confirmed by pathologists.
He explained that often during surgery, the organ or tissue of concern would be sent to pathologists, and whether or not it was cancerous would dictate how the remainder of the operation and treatment would go. The doctor shared: “It’s very likely that the surgical team knew or had a good sense of what this was going to be prior to surgery.”
In the midst of the online tumult, a user brought attention to Kate’s uncle, mentioning that he had provided some insights. He reminisced about how Harry, William, and Kate once formed a “happy little trio” which, according to him, was “totally ruined” after Harry married Meghan. This personal touch added fuel to the speculative fire, with many bracing for what they presumed would be an imminent announcement of a divorce between Catherine and William.
According to Kate’s uncle, while the children of the couple bring immense joy, it does not negate the complexities and challenges they face. The implication of discord, as expressed in the quote, paints a picture of a relationship that, in the eyes of some, appears strained. The person who tweeted Princess Catherine’s uncle’s statement said that he provided an interesting look into their lives.
As previously reported on March 18, 2024:
Rumors of Prince William’s affair have spread across the internet, with many pointing fingers at Rose Hanbury. Initially seen as just a family friend, she’s now suspected of being a homewrecker.
While Kate Middleton is absent from the public eye, recovering from her abdominal surgery, Prince William is suspected of having an affair. As rumors spread across the world, royal fans are delving into the persona of the alleged mistress.
Aristocrats know her as Lady Rose Hanbury. She is the Marchioness of Cholmondeley. She has long been linked to the British Royal Family. This is through her well-heeled family and their prestigious place in British high society. She is married to David Cholmondeley, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley. The couple raise three children together at their residence.
Prince William’s and Rose Hanbury’s families have been friends for a long time. But their friendship is under scrutiny by the public after a recent picture was released. In the photo, Prince William was riding in a car with a woman, allegedly his wife, Kate Middleton, by his side.
However, royal fans think otherwise. After being deceived by the picture of Kate Middleton and her children released on Mother’s Day, fans no longer trust so easily. Some people believe that the woman in the car next to Prince William is none other than Rose Hanbury.
First, her head is suspiciously turned away from the cameras, a thing that Princess Catherine never did. The Princess of Wales has always been brave enough to face the cameras. She did so even after waiting ten years for William to propose. Apart from hiding away, the woman is also staring at the brick wall, which fans have disputed.
“That is not Kate Middleton in the car; Kate has never shied away from cameras. Even when she waited ten years for Willy to propose, that is Rose Hanbury, William’s mistress,” commented a user.
“Sorry to go all tinfoil hat, but I don’t think that’s Kate Middleton. I think that’s Rose Hanbury in the car with William because why can’t we see her face? You’re really telling me the paparazzi didn’t run around the car to get a shot of her face?” another chimed in.
While some believe it is Rose Hanbury’s face, others speculate it is a photoshop of Kate Middleton, a profile from another picture. Fans use evidence to say the picture is fake. They reference Kate Middleton’s picture from the 2016 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. She wore a black pillbox hat.
However, Goff Photos — the agency that captured William and Kate in the Range Rover — addressed the rumors. They assured the public that the pics “have been cropped and lightened” but “nothing has been doctored.” The speculations spread so far that even Stephen Colbert addressed the situation. In his latest comedy sketch on national American TV, he talked about the alleged affair.
“Now there have been rumors of an affair between William and the Marching Band of Chicanery since 2019,” the host started off. “According to tabloids back then, when Kate supposedly confronted him about it, he laughed it off saying there was nothing to it. Always a good response when your wife accuses you of cheating,” he said sarcastically.
For people who do not follow the Royal Family closely, Rose Hanbury might seem a new persona on the royal stage. However, the woman has been around William and Kate for a long time.
In June 2016, their families attended a gala dinner to support East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices at Houghton Hall. Then, they were already close, considering how friendly they looked in the photos. Dressed in beautiful gowns, Kate and Rose greeted each other fondly, while their husbands shook hands.
Despite the niceties, fans found one of the pictures taken at the event quite controversial. “These pictures say a thousand words. Prince William, Rose Hanbury, and Kate all in one picture. I can already read the room here. A lot has been going on,” commented a user. “This picture is always my favorite peek into the drama,” another agreed.
It was not the last time their families were seen together. In 2020, she and her husband were invited to celebrate Kate’s 38th birthday. The party was only for some of their closest friends at their country home at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. David and Rose, the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley also attended the party.
They are close friends. Rose Hanbury and her family live in the residence only three miles from Anmer Hall. Anmer Hall is home to the Prince and Princess of Wales. Lady Rose Cholmondeley resides with her husband and kids at Houghton Hall in Norfolk.
The couple welcomed twin sons in October 2009. Their names are Alexander Hugh George Cholmondeley and Lord Oliver Timothy George Cholmondeley. Later, in 2016, their daughter, Lady Iris Marina Aline Cholmondeley, was born.
Today, swirling rumors allege that Prince William had an affair. The spotlight has turned to Rose Hanbury. She finds herself at the center of speculation. Despite the rumors, Rose Hanbury is a wife and mother. She is also an aristocrat in Royal social circles.
As speculation continues, Rose’s presence in royal circles and gatherings would invite further scrutiny. It doesn’t help that not so long ago Prince William was seen without his wedding ring in public, causing a wave of reaction.
As previously reported on March 12, 2024:
Prince William was seen beside his stepmother, Queen Camilla, engaging warmly with attendees through handshakes and smiles. Photos from the event were posted on the royal social media accounts.
However, amidst the regal splendor and ceremonious greetings, eagle-eyed observers on social media noted something amiss. William was without his wedding ring.
This observation quickly spiraled into a hot topic, with comments flooding the royal family’s social media post. Concerns and curiosity were voiced openly, as one commenter asked, “..is he wearing a wedding ring? Bc I do not see one,” while another stated, “William without his wedding ring.”
