Rose Hanbury Responds to Prince William Affair Allegations Amid Speculations on Kate's Absence

Rose Hanbury, a close friend to Prince William and Kate Middleton, responded to circulating affair rumors after speculation linked Kate Middleton's public absence with an alleged affair between Prince William and Hanbury.

The rumors intensified when talk show host Stephen Colbert discussed the Duchess of Cambridge's absence and the affair rumors on his show, hinting at Hanbury's involvement. Referencing media reports, Colbert mentioned that Prince William had apparently dismissed the allegations when confronted by Kate.

Hanbury, 40, refuted the rumors as "completely false," according to Business Insider. She has historic ties to the royal family; her grandmother served as a bridesmaid at the Queen's wedding.

Since undergoing a benign abdominal surgery on January 16, Kate Middleton has remained out of the spotlight, fueling online speculation and concern for her health. Aside from a few unclear photos, her public presence has been minimal, sparking global media attention and rumors.
