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 affair never happened.

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

Well that would stand up in a court. Not.

My mate mate heard if from a friend whose cousin saw them once. 🙄 FFS.

I’m no monarchist but the level glees is deeply unpleasant. It’s weird to be so obsessed by strangers too.

Loopylune · 14/08/2023 21:34

The comments are moderated which will no doubt be why nobody is speculating.

Now they’ve done almost all they can do destroy H&M, William better watch his back because they’ll be after a new headline act.

Tell your Mom I know what she's been doing...She will know what I mean.

Are you not mortally embarrassed to have posted that?

why should she be embarrassed. It’s common knowledge among locals that he was having affairs.

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 14/08/2023 21:43

I don't believe PW would have an affair for multiple reasons:

  1. They obviously get on well and seem a happy couple, loads of off duty snaps published on the web.
  2. Even if they didn't, PW would not risk his popularity by having an affair, he is old enough to have been aware of the public reaction to his DF's behaviour.
  3. I don't think he would be so cruel to hurt and embarrass Kate and his children, knowing what his father's affair did to him, his brother and their mum.
  4. If he were to cheat on Kate, I reckon Carole would rip his balls off!
PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 14/08/2023 21:47

oh and 5, what would be the point, Kate and Rose whatshername are physically and socially identical, I saw a picture of her in a furry hat and nice coat at Sandringham and thought it was Kate.

Were the locals in the bedroom watching them have sex? 😲

I wouldn’t use Paul Newman as a model of marital fidelity.

BingoBastards · 14/08/2023 21:53

Isn't this going back quite a while? No idea if any affair happened but it seems a bit crass to speculate about a marriage

Porridgeisbaes mum started the whole rumour because she was angry that William married Kate and not Porridge, he thought Porridge was too common because she eats with her mouth open. I know that for a fact because my goat lives in the same village.

Laburnam · 14/08/2023 22:01

How can anyone know that the affair didn’t happen?

longwayoff · 14/08/2023 22:05

Stop pretending the D Mail is a newspaper. It's a comic gossip rag only fit for lining litter trays. Its utter trash and make believe.

I’ve just posted about this on the royal board

tabloids always nearly tell you something when they’re not allowed to run the real story. Given this is a total non story but there are lots of comments throughout then I’m quite sure they are trying to tell us something about their relationship

They really don't! What a great way to generate fake news when the news is too fake for even the DM to publish!

Are people's lives so boring that they have to liven it up gossiping about other people?

The only interesting or surprising revelation here is that someone in her forties has not been to a music festival before.

They sure dress differently to me whenever I've been to a festival!!!

That’s literally what the royal family are for! Entertainment and gossip to keep us all distracted from ::gestures at binfire:: all of this.

TheFoxCatcher · 14/08/2023 22:20

No idea if Wills had an affair (the Royals do have form, though), but Rose H would be a weird choice - whippet thin, posh, married and I think has a couple of kids. She’s basically Kate. Surely he would be getting a bit of how’s her father with someone totally inappropriate and exotic. Like an American actress Wink

Just makes me laugh how anybody can categorically say it didn’t happen, as if they know every intimate detail about their relationship and believe the hype the media have always given to all the “perfect” royal marriages-
