Article in daily mail seems random at first glance and full of comments asking so what etc but isn’t their a rumour that Prince William had an affair with this woman?!

Kate Middleton 'went to music festival' with her friend Rose Hanbury

The Princess of Wales, 41, is understood to have made her first ever visit to a music festival at the weekend, albeit a very upper-class one at Houghton Hall in Norfolk.

The Wales haven't "threatened to withdraw access to the children if they don't get favourable press". They can't control the press because we live in a free country. The do not dictate terms. They don't always get favourable press. The only access to the children is on formal occasions, or when they choose to release birthday pictures of them. There is no press call.

@Angrycat2768 no. Rose was never on radar, apparently, nor others like her. His friendship/s ‘elsewhere’ allegedly, yet close by, hence all so seems so cordial between R & K etc. Largely, it is.

The weird attempts to deflect attention from Rose Hanbury are only putting the focus on her. A really bad ploy and achieving the opposite of what is intended.

And the DM are still going on about it! Clearly since they sacked their mole Dan Wooten they have to bulk out their Royal coverage somewhat, but this story has clearly backfired on whatever Palace PR were trying to do ( unless it is being used as a distraction, so has done exactly what it was meant to do) Isn't Rose's husband rumoured to be gay? He married late in order to pass on the title.

LadyEloise1 · 18/08/2023 10:05

It's all very strange.
No doubt in a few years time we'll learn what went on.
As we did with Diana and Charles.
I can't read between the lines but there is definitely something going on.

If W is messing about perhaps K doesn't mind. I would if it were my dh.
She gets the title, the perks and stays close to her children. Personally I think Pippa has the better deal.

These are the rumours re: R’s husband, or bi, which tie into the ‘real’ gossip, allegedly…This might be what the R & K press can’t directly allude to (?) Which if you think about it & think of the family history, is it really unimaginable. Some might say easier to turn a blind eye too. Many do.

goodbyestranger · 18/08/2023 11:49

Really struggling to see why the husband's sexuality is relevant.

My gosh I bet that’s exactly what they’re hinting at

Standby for some “Prince William and Mr Chumley looking chummy” headlines or something

What?! You?! You’ve had no filter here. Arguing for days trying to prove something wretched about the marriage of two couples. Why would you think people shouldn’t write whatever comes to mind? Don’t act all incensed and virtuous now

Until the latest post I thought these posters were simply being homophobic about the husband but I think your level of spluttering is possibly uncalled for. I haven't spent days (dipped in and out briefly), I also haven't done anything except restate a single point (that people in the couple's circle have known for ages that Rose and William were an item). The level of hysteria about this is bonkers.

Yours is the only name I’ve seen on here every time I open the thread. Agreed. The level of hysteria and commitment to this is bizarre. You seem incredibly invested.

Don’t make me laugh! you’ve been like a dog with a bone on this thread, any level of hysteria is come from you, you are obsessed with wanting this to be true for some strange reason.

goodbyestranger · 18/08/2023 16:36

There isn’t a single post of mine in which there’s even a glimmer of hysteria - that comes exclusively from those who are unable to accept that William is a cheat and that the public is being hoodwinked into thinking perfect family. It’s the same old con. I didn’t bother commenting until the fourth or fifth page and very few comments are long. They’re certainly very chilled compared to those of the fans :)

Tatslookawful · 18/08/2023 16:40

NB: no one in ‘their circle’ ever thought R & W were an item.

Hence why they rub along perfectly well now & K has a gorgeous niece, Rose. From someone on the periphery…

Read your post back to yourself, you are convinced William is a cheat, the public has been hoodwinked, it’s a con, the only one getting het up is you, it’s most strange to be so invested in a complete strangers marriage, having a passing interest fine, we all enjoy a bit of royal gossip, but to be so adamant that it’s true when you absolutely have no idea is just plain weird.

goodbyestranger · 18/08/2023 17:48

My language is extremely not het up :) The guy is a cheat, people who know him know he is, and that's it. Sorry I can't fit the hysteric mode you are super keen to impose.

Tatslookawful is certainly claiming to be an insider - why not have a go at her? Is it because she's saying what you want to hear?

Tatslookawful · 18/08/2023 18:06

Not an ‘insider’ but as I said.

IF the ‘gossip’ is accurate, it isn’t the obvious & doesn’t reflect negatively on K & R. It simply, allegedly, isn’t as most assume.

Still frothing I see.

goodbyestranger · 18/08/2023 20:37

Tatslookawful I get that you're trying to persuade people that William hasn't cheated with Rose Hanbury but if you wish to distort the bleeding obvious then maybe be less cryptic and just come out with your alternative 'truth'.

It’s blindingly obvious IMO. Look at ‘all’ the rumours in their entirety. I have no personal axe to grind & skin in game & wish all well…

I bet all the rose rumours are a cover for who he's really had a long affair with

I suspect, like his father he has a few discreet mistresses on rotation.

That might well be true. I find it hard to believe that Pippa would have named her DD the same name as William’s mistress. She and Kate seem to be very close, so I don’t see her wanting to hurt her in that way. So if he is having an affair, I really don’t believe it will be with Rose.

That of course doesn’t mean that William isn’t having an affair with someone else. Or multiple affairs for that matter.
