A bastard son? The crazy rumors about Catherine of Wales and Prince William that are all the rage in X

One of the theories that has gained strength in recent days regarding the current situation of Kate Middleton, or Catherine of Wales, concerns an alleged bastard son of Prince William.

On social networks, especially on The biological mother would be Rose Hanbury, the main target of the British tabloids as a third party in the relationship.

The Princess would be doing it – we repeat, according to the conspiracy theorists – so that the hypothetical news does not stain her name or that of her husband.

Naturally the Royal Household made no reference to the matter. Not even the British media talked about it. This is just a rumor that will disappear on Easter Sunday, when Kate will voluntarily appear in the press.

Buckingham Palace intends to carefully handle the princess’s return from abdominal surgery which, although reportedly successful, has plagued her since January.

It is believed he will take a walk from his Adelaide Cottage home to Windsor Palace on Easter Sunday or attend church with his family.

What they say about networks

“If Kate had died, I say that the royal house would have announced it. I vote that she is in a coma or that she has serious consequences, although the theory that she is expecting a bastard child makes me laugh so much that I would not like to rule it out.” Comments like this abound on X.

Let’s see more: “Camila is bad, claims William’s lover (who they say has a bastard child with her)”; “There’s been a lot of talk about William’s infidelities, including that there’s a bastard son out there.”

Although there are several comments on the topic, the rumor had more resonance in the Spanish-speaking media.

Who is Rose Hanbury?

There is no concrete evidence that the Marchioness of Cholmondeley and William dated (they were said to have lunch together on Valentine’s Day) and the two deny their relationship. However, the idea of ​​the deal continues to hover over the royal palace.

Hanbury is 40 years old. She is the daughter of website designer Timothy Hanbury and dressmaker Emma Longman and has been married since 2009 to the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, David Rocksavage. Together they have three children, Alexander, Oliver and Iris.

The couple live in Houghton Hall, Norfolk. She is a patron of the charity East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) alongside the Princess of Wales.

On 6 May 2023 he was present at the coronation of King Charles III because his son Oliver was honorary page to the new monarch and Queen Camilla.

Before getting married, Rose was a model for Storm Models (an agency known for representing, among other models, Kate Moss) and has been frequenting royals ever since.

In 2019, The Sun published an article in which Hanbury was known as the “rural rival” of the future Queen of England. Both Middleton and Rose lived in Norfolk (England) and stopped belonging to the same group of friends when rumors began that there were tensions between them.

As if that wasn’t enough – and this has to do with the rumor above – it has also been suggested that William is the real father of Iris, Hanbury’s youngest daughter.
