If you haven’t been on the internet lately, you might not know about the rumors surrounding Kate Middleton. The palace has stated that Kate won’t be making public appearances until after Easter as she recovers from abdominal surgery. However, some people are convinced she’s missing or in a coma, and the rumors are spiraling out of control, with some bringing up Rose Hanbury.

On the royal side of social media, many believe Kate’s absence is due to Prince William’s alleged relationship with Hanbury. One user speculated, “I think Kate Middleton served William divorce papers because she’s over the cheating but did it as Charles found out he’s dying so the palace said, ‘Can’t have an unmarried King’ and now they’re doing EVERYTHING to make her stay but she’s refusing to participate in the charade now,” with many adding they think Hanbury will be in the picture.

Another user said, “If they Princess Diana’d Kate to Camilla Rose Hanbury…,” and another added, “’Here it is. Kate’s abdominal surgery is a get away cause William keeps getting on with Rose Hanbury.”

For those who don’t know, Hanbury and Kate were friends for years, but in 2019, the Sun published a piece saying the two had a falling out. Writers Giles Coren and Nicole Cliffe both claimed they knew about the alleged affair between William and Hanbury in 2019, per IBTimes.

William’s lawyers reportedly issued a legal warning, but no one in this story has publicly acknowledged the rumors. An insider from the royal family told The Daily Beast: “There has never been any enmity between Kate and Rose. The rumors were all a load of rubbish. The family are ancient allies of the Crown and they will be there.”

There has been no physical or tangible proof of an affair besides deleted tweets and hearsay. While Kate and Hanbury have allegedly reconnected after Charles III’s Coronation, the three have kept quiet about the situation, but the rumors are swirling once again at an all-time high amid Kate’s absence.
