Rose Hanbury and Prince William

This is also tied up with them getting Royal Lodge (thus kicking out Andrew) -- the Middletons are supposed to come live with them there, ostensibly to help take care of the kids while Kate and William take on more extensive duties as the crown prince and princess now that Charles has ascended. But it also puts the Middletons living on Firm property and supported by the BRF.

They’re not rumors. They literally sold their business after it entered bankruptcy. I think her parents were wealthy at one point but it has been a bit smoke and mirrors for quite awhile.

Imho Charles saw effect of infidelity on his parents and on himself as a child and will definitely make a conscious effort to avoid repeating it. No?

While I do think Kate cares about William having an affair, she's not going to do a thing about it. And he and his family know it. This is the woman who chased him and waited for him to get serious with her for years. By all accounts, her only ambition in life was to marry him. She stayed the course and succeeded. She's not going to run to the media, or confront Charles, to leverage anything. That's laughable if you consider for a second who she is and what she's done in her life. She isn't some modern, independent woman. She is literally the commoner who had very little going for herself until she married a prince and is all too happy to life that lifestyle--just like in many of the older Disney movies. That's in large part why William chose her. Kate isn't going anywhere, she will always be discreet and carry on as if William is the most loyal husband ever.

She’s done a lot about it. Threatened divorce? No. But she’s flexed her muscle about the Hanbury situation plenty. It’s just too subtle for most of us Americans to understand.

She doesn’t have to do much though. She a pap shot of her crying and a “friend of Kate” outing the affair would be enough to blow the whole thing up

I 100% believe that William and Rose Hanbury were an item. And, I don't think it's his first time at the infidelity rodeo.

Doesn't anyone remember Jecca Craig? Kate played second fiddle while William hosted Jecca's birthday party.

I do to.

Her oldest children are twins.

I’m really interested in this. Can you say more about how she’s flexed her muscle?

Rose's husband, David Rocksavage, was made a Lord in Waiting to Charles III as a reward for his discretion over the matter. Now David will receive a pension and financial support via taxpayer dollars.

The British people are suffering through a cost of living crisis and can barely feed, house, or heat their homes and yet they are expected to find:

- William's mistresses husband
- William's many helicopter flights to visit his mistress
- William's five or six or seven houses (lost count at this point) including upkeep and staff
- security for his mistresses (there have been more than one) and illegitimate kids (also more than one) in the UK and South Africa

- Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee
- Queen Elizabeth's funeral
- full renovation of Buckingham Palace
- a hush hush renovation of Windsor Castle for Charles III

- Charles's coronation
- Camilla's house at Ray Mill with staff and upkeep
- Maintenance and staff at multiple homes belonging to Charles

- Prince Andrew's security
- upkeep and staff at Royal Lodge, Prince Andrew's house
- stipend for Andrew and family, Edward and family, Anne and family and perhaps others...

Good luck UK, you've got the monarchy you deserve!

And zero for Harry.

Does this also make Hilary Clinton a wet blanket? She was cheated on and she stayed.

I won't pretend to know if William cheated or didn't....but the barrage of judgment on Kate for staying in her marriage baffles me.

Definitely doesn’t make her a feminist.

+1. Would love to hear about how she allegedly has "done a lot about it." And if it's so subtle, how can you possibly know it ever happened? I know people love to paint her as this strong woman who isn't willing to put up with this, but all of the objectively known facts about her suggest otherwise. It's not meant as a dig against her--there are plenty of women who put up with worse behavior from their significant others without any of the benefits Kate has. I don't think less of her for staying put, but I also don't understand why people are so quick to assert that she's "flexed her muscle" when she's not the one with the power in that relationship and has never demonstrated any sort of backbone when it comes to William or his family. She was all too willing to do whatever it took to be a part of that family--yet we're supposed to believe that NOW she's trying to exert power to stand up for herself? Not buying it.

People who think Kate and William are happily and faithfully married are definitely extremely naive.

I don't know about the affair, but they haven't looked truly happy together since Louis. I wonder what happened.

He has the heir and the male spare. Now he can concentrate on his side piece

He didn’t need a male spare. The Queen said if their fist kid was a girl, she’d be Queen.

The queen is dead, long live the king. The question is just how much of a chauvinist is Charles

They don't need the BRF to be well off. If Kate leaves, she will be rich. Poppa also married a very very wealthy man. Their kids are set and so are they. They're not going to be homeless because their business went under.

Imho Charles saw effect of infidelity on his parents and on himself as a child and will definitely make a conscious effort to avoid repeating it. No?

Children of parents who were unfaithful are actually MORE likely to engage in infidelity themselves.
