Prince William and his son Prince George were seen watching a football match.
This father-son outing comes after the media frenzy of people accusing the Prince of Wales of cheating.
The alleged woman, Lady Rose Hanbury, and her family have also been under the microscope since the massive public attention.
Prince William has been at the forefront of cheating allegations with the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, also known as Lady Rose Hanbury. The alleged affair was surrounded by several speculations and conspiracy theories regarding her connection to the royal family.
However, one of the reasons online users have suspected a romantic relationship between them is the constant appearance of Rose’s son at Royal events.
Another instance where the allegations were brought up was when The Prince of Wales attended the UEFA quarterfinal match between Aston Villa and Lille OSC at Villa Park on April 11, 2024, in Birmingham, England.
Prince William was watching the match with his son George, but some hawk-eyed spectators also noticed one of Rose’s sons, and had a few things to say. In the comment section, one person wrote, “The boy on the right is Rose’s son, the same boy from the coronation.” Another added, “His wife had cancer, and he’s enjoying a match with his mistress’s son.”
Speculation about Rose’s son’s attendance continued even on the X platform, with one netizen emphasizing, “Don’t forget the other lady’s son too. He’s right there with them. #blendedfamily.” More people shared the same sentiments, “Not exactly the father-son duo. William brought Rose Hanbury’s son along with him too,” Another X user asked, “And his other son?”
However, in the midst of speculative comments, some netizens commended the Prince of Wales for taking his son out to watch the match. “Prince William is an incredible father,” gushed a commenter, with another adding, “Now that’s how a real father spends time with his son. Just saying.”
The relationship Prince Willaim has had with Lady Rose has been analyzed by online users for a long time. As previously reported on March 20, 2024, the interest in the story of Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley unfolded years ago.
Everything from her engagement at 25, a pregnancy announcement, and marriage, which all took place in just three days, has recently been thrust back into the limelight. The recent unprecedented attention Rose has been getting regarding her alleged affair with Prince William has ignited a new wave of intrigue and interest in her personal life.
Although the former model and researcher has denied the affair allegations, she has still found herself at the center of a vortex of speculation and scandal. Still, the lightning speed at which her significant life events took place is what has captured attention and scrutiny.
A writer for a well-known news outlet chronicled the whirlwind series of events in 2009. According to the article, the engagement of Rose to David Rocksavage, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, was swiftly followed by an announcement from Rose’s mother, Emma Hanbury, that her daughter was expecting twins.
Almost immediately after this announcement circulated in public spheres, the couple married in a discreet ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall with no photographs from their engagement or wedding shared, adding an air of mystery to their union.
Aside from her husband, with whom she shares twin sons Alexander, Earl of Rocksavage and Oliver, Lord Cholmondeley and daughter Lady Iris, Rose’s familial background is rich in connections to the British royal family. She and her sister Marina Hanbury grew up under the guidance of their parents, Emma and Timothy Hanbury.
Emma’s expertise in interior design and her royal ties—closely connected to Queen Elizabeth II—speak volumes about a family deeply embedded in British aristocratic tradition. Meanwhile, Marina’s own story mirrors Rose’s as she also married an aristocrat significantly older than her, with whom she shares three children.
Like Marina and her husband, Edward Lambton, 7th Earl of Durham, Rose Hanbury and David have an age gap of over 20 years; they are 24 years apart, to be exact. The couple’s love story began on a holiday in Italy in 2003 and culminated in a hasty marriage at the Chelse registry office.
Public reaction to the whirlwind of events in Rose’s life, particularly against the backdrop of her alleged affair with Prince William, has been a blend of astonishment, skepticism, and conspiracy theorizing.
Social media users have delved into the complexities of her situation, with one stating, “The late Queen asked her Lord Chamberlain, a gay man, to marry Rose Hanbury with 3 days notice, and as the protector of the Crown, he obliged. Not even Charles threatened the line of succession, but William has.”
Another comment read, “#RoseHanbury was five months pregnant with twins when she married a man twice her age who was thought to be gay. Risky in a time when DNA tests are available.”
Someone else asserted, “Rose Hanbury Cholmondeley, Prince William’s mistress, announced she was engaged a day before her wedding, announced she was pregnant with twins the day after her wedding & gave birth 7 months later. One of those twins is in King Charles III grandchildren’s procession at Coronation.”
Despite trying to deny the allegations, many continue to relate the quickness of her life events to the alleged affair scandal. As the public tries to investigate the close relationship between the two families, it is not entirely abnormal for their children to have a close relationship given that they live close to one another.
