Earlier this year, the Globe reported that Prince William’s marriage to Kate Middleton was “hanging by a thread” after he and his wife had a “furious fight” over the Duke of Cambridge’s continued association with his alleged affair partner, Rose Hanbury. Despite presenting a “perfect front,” a source told the tabloid that “behind closed doors, they’re being ripped apart by a new cheating crisis!”
This narrative is a familiar one. For much of this year and last, Prince William has been battered by rumors that he carried on an illicit affair with Hanbury. The source insisted that the alleged infidelity supposedly resulted in Middleton consulting with “divorce lawyers amid rumors William was having an affair with Rose, her married best friend!”
Prince William dodged the issue because he “laughed off the claims and denied any wrongdoing,” and the “marriage survived” to live another day. But after Middleton “learned William was back in touch with Rose,” she was supposedly “furious” and “exploded at William, demanding to know how he could humiliate her like this!”
