Kate Middleton And Rose Hanbury: A Royal Friendship On The Rocks

Hey there! Let's dive into some royal drama. According to a new report, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has reportedly experienced a pretty significant rift with her longtime pal, Rose Hanbury. A source close to the situation told The Sun newspaper in the UK, “It’s no secret that Kate and Rose have had a falling out. They used to be close, but things have changed dramatically.”

Prince William Steps In

Now, here's the kicker: Kate’s husband, Prince William, reportedly tried to mend the relationship between Kate and Rose, who holds the title of Marchioness of Cholmondeley. William has a good relationship with Rose's husband, David Rocksavage. “William wants to be the peacemaker so that the two couples can remain friends,” the insider revealed. “They live close to each other and share a lot of mutual friends, so it makes sense. But Kate has made it clear that she doesn’t want to see them anymore and wants William to distance himself from them, regardless of their social standing.”

Rose and her husband, a former filmmaker, live just a stone's throw away from William and Kate’s Amner Hall country home, a royal wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth herself. Both couples are parents of three, with Rose and David sharing twin sons, Alexander, Earl of Rocksavage, and Oliver, Lord Cholmondeley, along with their daughter, Lady Iris. Their kids often played with the Cambridge trio—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—making their families even closer.

    Rose, a former model, and David were not only guests at William and Kate’s lavish royal wedding at Westminster Abbey in April 2011, but Rose’s paternal grandmother, Lady Rose Lambert, was allegedly a bridesmaid at Queen Elizabeth’s wedding to Prince Philip back in 1947. That's quite the royal connection, isn’t it?
