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.

@Laburnum I didn't categorically say anything. I was pointing out your ridiculousness.

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

Well you know what these upper classes are like. They're the ones with the Pampas grass in the front garden, so it's not impossible 😉

It has been alleged that the affair rumour started a bit closer to home. No fan of the monarchy but that is absolutely horrendous if true although makes sense in regards to later developments.

Claiming pegging was involved as well for maximum humiliation. How could anyone know that? Are we expected to believe his high society family friend affair partner blabbed about his proclivity for a strap on up the butt! I thought they were discreet in those circles.

I couldn’t imagine how I’d deal with it if someone close to me started a rumour like that and I’m not even a globally known future King. I think I might push them into a dog bowl at the very least though!

Taken from a well known forum:
Giles Coren was photographed talking with the Sussexes and Misha Noo at the party to launch Soho House in Amsterdam. This was shortly before his infamous tweet, which he then hastily retracted.

There is an article mentioning corroborating this - open if you dare!

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

Wouldn’t you? Wasn’t it him who said “ Why go out for hamburger when you’ve got fillet steak at home”?

BarbieKew · 14/08/2023 22:35

Small town mentality innit, where men and women apparently can’t be friends without banging each other. Highly unlikely Kate would be having dinner and spending the weekend with a woman who shagged her husband. It’s basically playground gossip for anti royalists.

It was apparently well known he enjoyed hamburgers as well as steak

Then why did the then Prince Charles keep going back for Camburger when he had steak Diane at home?

Laburnam · 14/08/2023 22:46

Why because it’s such a ridiculous idea that he might indeed have had an affair? Hope it doesn’t break your heart if that is the case because you’re obviously v upset by the possibility that it might have happened?

You’re hilarious it can’t be that ridiculous if he didn’t have the affair though

HRTQueen · 14/08/2023 22:51

Everyone who has posted on here loves a bit of gossip

life is boring at times people have always gossiped and enjoyed hearing secrets I’m always fascinated how rumours got around

if you are not interested why open the thread it’s quite clear this wasn’t about anything other that the alleged affair

Frisbeeee · 14/08/2023 22:59

No idea but I absolutely love Rose's dress in the pic in the OP 😍. Most likely cost an arm and a leg though!

ImNotReallySpartacus · 14/08/2023 20:04

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

Eh? I’m in my 50’s and never been to a music festival. 😂

Well considering that the rumour didn't start with Giles Coren but from an article written by Dan Wootton, the idea that it was started by H&M fans is bullcrap and stinks of deflection. The kind of convenient deflection that would serve to divert attention from a married man having intimate dinners with his wife's "friend".

The receipts have been documented since 2019

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!

^ this!!!

I was late 50s going to my first music festival. And I don't need a brace of security either.

Because he didn't see it that way. He was in love with Camilla, not Diana. Camilla was his 'steak'!!

Kinneddar · 14/08/2023 23:13

I think its likely to be W&Ks camps way of knocking the affair story on the head. They're never going to publicly deny anything happened but showing Kate & Rose are friends is probably the closest they can do

ConstitutionHill · 14/08/2023 23:15

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

But they could have done that ages ago?

goodbyestranger · 14/08/2023 23:41

Attempting to and not succeeding. They tried a few Christmas's ago with Rose Hanbury being dragged along to the church at Sandringham looking as miserable and not on board as could be. This smacks of a fourth rate summer intern in the PR dept doing a terrible job. People have known for years that this affair happened - so this is a terrible idea, and is based on the premise that the public are stupid enough to be taken in. It's quite funny thought that they're trying to paper over the cracks in such a supremely gauche way. Seems like they're worried....

Ditto at 75, only ever been to one pop concert too!

No, people have known of the story of alleged affair for years. That doesn't mean it happened. I dont believe it for a minute

When i saw the DM headline regarding kate at a music fest with RH I went straight to twitter. is something about to break?? thought it an attempt to quell new rumours

Hettice · 15/08/2023 00:15

I didn't clock it was a DM link.

But the prospect of Kate 'dining without William' at Rose Hanbury's house and then deciding to go to the music festival as a spontaneous decision with her security is somewhat unlikely.

I have zero idea about their private lives, but the spin on this - and the timing - is weird. I suspect this is damage limitation of SOME kind, but it might well remain below the radar. As it should, frankly.

Commentsonly · 15/08/2023 00:38

Someone who I know that works in the palace said it did happen years ago!!
