In a report, the outlet said they “understand that pressure was applied by the Palace” to get affair rumor claims removed from staff writer Giles Coren’s Twitter. Instagram Tell me more about this legal action.Įven though Richard Kay said there was no legal action happening from the royals, the D aily Beast claimed otherwise. But the internet seemed to immediately focus on our dude William, likely because he was plagued with the false “rural rival” affair rumor before. Obviously, this (a) could have been completely false and (b) even if true, could have been about a different member of the royal family. Other than that, it’s unknown!īasically, a tipster wrote into the gossip account and alleged (emphasis on alleged-as is the first to point out, these tips are completely unverifiable and are sometimes baseless) that a member of the British royal family’s extramarital affair is an “open secret,” and the reason for the affair is the royal’s “love of pegging.” Hence #PrinceOfPegging trending on Twitter. So what went wrong between Rose and Kate if it wasn’t that affair rumor? Back in March of 2019, The Sun reported that Kate was upset about a story that claimed she told William to have Rose “phased out” of their circle because she and Rose supposedly had a falling-out. Since Rose lives in the countryside, that’s likely why British tabloid The Sun started referring to her as Kate’s “rural rival” once things allegedly turned sour. Rose’s home is pretty close to Kate and William’s Anmer Hall country estate, and they run in the same social circles. (For the uninitiated, Google says a “marchioness” is the wife of someone who ranks just below a duke in the British peer system.) She’s a former model and current marchioness who lives with her husband, film director David Rocksavage, in Norfolk, England.

He wrote: “Both sides have considered legal action, but because none of the reports have been able to offer any evidence about what the so-called dispute is about, they have chosen to ignore it.These hurtful rumors of a fallout are simply false.” So, who is Rose, exactly? And according to the Daily Mail’s royal reporter Richard Kay, it’s all fake news. In Touch, an American publication, reported back in April 2019 that William may have had an affair with Rose, and that when Kate supposedly confronted him about it, he apparently “laughed it off saying there was nothing to it.” 😬Īgain, nothing was confirmed, and there is no actual public evidence that William cheated, so these reports were shaky at best. Okay, first things first-some background on the initial rumor

The Cambridges have never commented publicly on the ordeal, but if you’re confused about these rumors and where they originated, we’ve got you. Then a separate 2022 tip revived royal cheating allegations and caused #PrinceOfPegging to start trending on Twitter (I’ll give you a moment). We first dealt with ~this whole thing~ in 2019, when tabloids became obsessed with a “falling out” involving Kate, William, and Rose-who happens to be the Marchioness of Cholmondeley (which is somehow pronounced like “Chumley”). Welp, here we go again! Rose Hanbury is on the official guest list for King Charles’s coronation, which means you can expect the internet to once again been inundated with (very likely false) rumors about an alleged affair with Prince William.
