Rose Hanbury returns to the British court after denying infidelity with Prince William
The Marchioness of Cholmondeley has coincided this week in two events with Queen Camilla
Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, has returned to public life after months without being photographed. This week, the wife of David Cholmondeley has reappeared at two events where she coincided with members of the British royal family. On Sunday, she greeted Queen Camilla at an equestrian event in Gloucestershire, and on Wednesday, she attended St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, where nearly 2,000 people gathered for a solemn ceremony of the Order of the British Empire, attended by King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Sunday’s appearance was the first one by the marchioness since her legal team denied to Business Insider the affair with Prince William when the Princess of Wales was missing before announcing her cancer and the Katespiracy, which was on everyone’s lips. This shows that Hanbury and her family are close to the British royal family and that they pay no attention to the rumors, as evidenced by the prompt inclusion of the family in ceremonial events. Their son Oliver Cholmondeley was a page on Wednesday for Charles III, as he was during the coronation alongside Prince George.
Without any tabloids having published any evidence, the romance was given more credibility outside the United Kingdom than within. There, it is known that Middleton and Rose have been considered close friends for many years. David Cholmondeley and Rose Hanbury own the magnificent Houghton Hall, less than a ten-minute drive from the Prince of Wales’s second residence, Anmer Hall, adjacent to the well-known Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
The couple are part of the Prince of Wales’ circle of friends when they are on countryside retreats and are also members of the British ceremonial court by pedigree. They have been participating in Windsor events for decades, as David Cholmondeley, by tradition, was a page of honor to Queen Elizabeth II as a child and later served as Lord Great Chamberlain of England from 1990 until 2022. On the other hand, the Hanbury family also has a long-standing relationship with the British royal family. Their maternal grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambert, was one of the eight bridesmaids at Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding.
