The photo that puts the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton at risk for an infidelity
The Duke of Cambridge was surprised at night in a bar accompanied by Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley, a friend of his wife
After the latest revelations about the death of Lady Di, a new scandal makes Buckingham Palace tremble due to the dissemination of a photograph that would show Prince William's infidelity to her wife Kate Middleton with a friend of hers.
According to the British media, the son of the late Princess Diana would have had an affair with Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley, and now a former friend of his wife.
In the image disseminated both by social networks and by the main local newspapers, the Duke of Cambridge and future King of England, 36, is observed in a nightclub enjoying the company of a woman, who would be Hanbury.
The controversial capture comes to light days after strong rumors emerged that the royal couple, who have been married since 2011, are facing severe marital problems.
Tabloids note that Middleton and the Marchioness's friendship grew stronger when they became neighbors at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. But then something happened between the two of them and today Middleton no longer allows her presence at royal family events.
Who is the Marchioness of Cholmondeley?
The 35-year-old aristocrat worked as a model for Storm, the agency that discovered Kate Moss. She has been married to millionaire David Rocksavage since 2009, 23 years her senior, and has three children: 9-year-old twins Alexander and Oliver, and Iris, three.
In 2005, the Marchioness was widely criticized for a scandalous photograph of her posing in a bikini with her sister and then-Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Her husband David Rocksavage inherited an estimated £ 112 million (about $ 146 million) estate 27 years ago, which included Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire.
On the other hand, Rose's maternal grandmother, Lady Elisabeth Longman, was one of the bridesmaids at Queen Elizabeth II's wedding to Philip of Edinburgh in 1947.
A weeks before this image was released, the tabloid The Sun had reported that the relationship between Middleton, 37, and her now ex-friend was "much worse than previously thought." Even the aforementioned media pointed out that William himself intervened in the fight since he very much enjoyed marital outings with Rose and her husband.
"William wanted to bring them closer so that the two couples can remain friends, since they live very close and share many friends in common. But Kate has made it clear that she no longer wants to see them and wants William not to participate in official events, despite their social status, "added the source to the aforementioned newspaper. The members of the royalty agree and assure that Middleton refused to "make peace" with her.
It is not the first time that William is linked with the Marchioness.
In Touch magazine was the first publication to discuss William's extramarital affair with his aristocratic neighbor, while his wife was pregnant with his third child. The publication now resurfaces that story and notes - citing a source close to the royal couple - that after hearing the rumors, Kate "immediately confronted" William, who "simply laughed saying there was nothing between them."
Kensington Palace has not commented on the issue and most likely will not, but off the record they have made it clear that the story is "wrong and false."
Faced with the rumors, Prince Harry defended Kate, as reported by Slate magazine. "Infidelity ruined our childhood. How can you have an affair when you have three children?", Would have been Harry's phrase to his brother and future King of England.
The Duke of Sussex was referring to the extramarital affair that his father, Prince Charles, had for years with Camilla Parker Bowles during his marriage to Lady Di. After the death of Diana Specer and thanks to the permission of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles of Wales made her romance official with her lover and married her in 2005.
