The royal family is known for being a bit shady at times, especially when it comes to the media. According to the BBC, even Prince Harry once spoke of this “invisible contract” between the royal family and the press; they both benefit from each other and have some sort of control over one another. The royal family, however, would never admit to this nor if they had any doings with the disappearing stories or updates regarding Rose Hanbury. However, people find it all too convenient that these articles about Hanbury’s rumored affair with Prince William are disappearing. And while the royal family may not speak on the speculated affair, Hanbury has.
Hanbury told Business Insider via her lawyer that the gossip surrounding her and Prince William is “completely false.” The former model has even taken legal action to shut down the rumors. According to In Touch (via Us Weekly), she had sent “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” a warning, after the talk show host made jokes about William and Hanbury’s supposed romance. The former model’s lawyers shared a statement about the notice, saying, “We have written on our client’s behalf to CBS and various other reputable media organizations to confirm that the allegation is false.” Hanbury wasn’t messing around, but even with her efforts and the disappearing stories on the internet, people are still talking about her rumored affair with William.
