Well, an insider claimed, via the News PK, that “Kat’s Norfolk neighbors, the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley, David, and Rose, have sent their prayers and love to the Princess amid her health worries.”

The insider added, “They are very much concerned and praying for the future Queen’s speedy recovery after her abdominal surgery at The London Clinic.”

So truly, everyone is hoping the Princess of Wales will have a speedy recovery!

If the name Hanbury is familiar to you, it could be because of the rumors that she and William allegedly had an affair. These rumors have been repeatedly denied by the Palace, and it seems as though Kate and Hanbury are still close friends after the rumor mill turmoil.

For those who don’t know, Hanbury and Kate were friends for years, and in 2019, the Sun published a piece saying the two had a falling out. After this, writers Giles Coren and Nicole Cliffe both claimed they knew about the alleged affair between William and Hanbury in 2019, per IBTimes.

William’s lawyers reportedly issued a legal warning to many. And an insider from the royal family told The Daily Beast: “There has never been any enmity between Kate and Rose. The rumors were all a load of rubbish. The family are ancient allies of the Crown and they will be there.”

So there has been no physical or tangible proof of an affair besides deleted tweets and hearsay. Despite this, Kate and Hanbury allegedly reconnected after King Charles III’s Coronation, and have reportedly been seen together a few times since then.
