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.

Would your sister name your niece the same name as someone your husband was having an affair with?

of course it didn’t happen!

Looks like the music festival featured a big tent, I imagine they had some trouble pegging it.

🤣🤣🤣

They are certainly hinting at something. As they know vast majority of people love a bit of gossip

Exasperatednow · 14/08/2023 20:53

It's the Daily Mail. Made up stories and mumsnet are their stock in trade.

Read something else?

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. If someone with his upbringing was merely adulterous rather than deeply damaged, that's probably a win overall.

Pippa naming her DD Rose makes me doubt the RH story though.

Same!

TroglodytesTroglodytes · 14/08/2023 21:00

Just had a look at the lineup, can’t say that I’ve heard of any of the acts but that doesn’t mean a lot as I don’t follow new music these days. Tickets were £250 for one or £1000 for a group of 5!

or they were told it was 'frightfully middle class' to avoid using a name simply because one's sister's husband had been caught In flagrante delicto with a neighbour of the same name.

The affair never happened. Giles Coren (career twat) made up and the rags lapped it up.

I've no idea if it's true or not ( and tbh don't care much) but Coren didn't actually start it. He spread it that's for sure, but it was already being suggested by others before he tweeted about it.

Interestingly enough, one of the first people to hint ( subtly) at it was the obnoxious Dan Wootton.

OhmygodDont · 14/08/2023 21:09

I mean he is or he isn’t. This news just means either it was made up and they are friends or he is but she gives no shits.

AlphaAlpha · 14/08/2023 21:11

Can just imagine Kate with a bunch of ra-ras taking a bump off a key and then climbing into a k-hole.

CasuirDubh · 14/08/2023 21:12

To the posters saying the affair never happened - how do you know?

I presumed it was what Harry and Megan were hinting at when they said that the royal family was willing to tell lies to the press to protect some family members but wouldn't tell the truth to protect them.

I'm a republican and think they're all a waste of space by the way. I'm not a Harry and Megan fan.

HRTQueen · 14/08/2023 21:12

Not one of us on here knows if he did or didn’t have an affair

how can people state it as a fact 🙄

CurlewKate · 14/08/2023 21:13

Giles Coren is a deeply vile human being, but the rumours had been around for ages before he circulated them.

LadyWiddiothethird · 14/08/2023 21:16

This again! Of course there was no affair,DM stirring again as per usual.They write utter s*e.

Nobody knows whether the rumours are true or not!

Exactly.

They're the same people who know EXACTLY what's going on in Harry and Meghan's marriage. Despite never having met them.

Highdaysandholidays1 · 14/08/2023 21:23

This is definitely a shit-stirring non-news story. The picture of all three of them together a few pics down is a classic. Who cares though? I think they just print this to remind the Royal Family who is in charge and that they know where the bodies are buried.

Highdaysandholidays1 · 14/08/2023 21:24

I mean unless a news item about going to a festival with no pictures of the festival is a news story.

It’s in the shit-stirring Mail. Nastiest rag in the UK.

I refuse to even read that crap online and have no idea why sensible people do. It’s full of lied and hate.

porridgeisbae · 14/08/2023 21:28

The affair never happened.

It did happen, my mum knew someone local to where it happened/happens and it was common knowledge locally.

My boyfriend goes to a different school.
