00:00 What subtle moment at a public event has people talking once again about a long-rumored affair
00:04 carried out by Prince William?
00:06 And how has Kate handled those rumors?
00:08 "Did Prince William cheat on his wife Kate Middleton, aka the Princess of Wales?
00:13 Like why is the whole world bringing this up right now?
00:16 Like literally it's trending everywhere on the planet."
00:19 According to reports, Prince William's alleged affair unfolded when his wife, Kate Middleton,
00:25 was pregnant with their third child, Prince Louis.
00:27 "Where did these allegations even come from?
00:29 I'm so confused right now guys.
00:31 So I had to look into this and here's what I found."
00:35 Kensington Palace went all out to shut down these rumors about Prince William and Rose
00:40 Hanbury and this is according to claims from a new book.
00:44 "You've no doubt heard of Prince William's alleged affair with Rose Hanbury.
00:48 The royal scandal has been plastered all over tabloids since early 2019."
00:52 According to the royal author, Omid Scobie, in his book Endgame Inside the Royal Family
00:57 and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival, Press Secretary Christian Jones worked hard to get
01:04 The Sun publication, who by the way was the first to ask about the rumors, to drop the
01:09 investigation.
01:10 There was a former associate with the royal family that mentioned this to Omid Scobie
01:15 and this is the quote from them.
01:17 "Christian was so desperate to stop the rumor and made it his mission to do so."
01:23 The author also suggests that Christian Jones was feeling the pressure, even saying the
01:28 whole thing was stressing him out completely.
01:31 Apparently, he went to the extent of making a deal with a Sun newspaper journalist, offering
01:39 more royal insight if they backed off from these specific rumors.
01:44 "Rumors of an affair between Prince William and family friend Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness
01:49 of Chumlee, have been swirling for years."
01:51 And according to Omid Scobie's account, in June of 2019, The Sun surprisingly stopped
01:57 chasing the story of William cheating and he says a high-level courtier hinted that
02:04 Christian played a role in bringing it to a halt.
02:07 Omid Scobie also claims that the tabloid changed gears and started covering revealing stories
02:14 about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle instead.
02:18 When he spoke to Entertainment Tonight, Omid mentioned being very cautious about addressing
02:24 the claims of Prince William's alleged affair with Rose Hanbury during Kate Milton's
02:29 pregnancy with their third child.
02:32 So guys, these are some bombshell claims.
02:34 Omid Scobie and his whole book.
02:38 Do you believe any of the claims he's making?
02:40 I find them hard to believe but I'll talk about that real soon.
02:44 Either way, he also touched on a reported fallout between William and Kate, as well
02:49 as their former friend Rose Hanbury.
02:52 Now when it comes to these claims, the big question is, is there actually any 100% indisputable
02:59 proof that William did this?
03:02 The short answer is no.
03:04 People have reasons to believe that these rumors are true though, and here are some
03:09 of those reasons.
03:10 Rumors about Prince William and Kate Milton have been circling for years, and Omid Scobie
03:15 does note that the gossip has persisted because the couple never directly addressed it.
03:23 Also, Rose Hanbury had a long-standing friendship with William and Kate, and even attended their
03:28 wedding in 2011.
03:30 And they did have a fallout though, despite the cheating rumors emerging two years later,
03:36 and she was spotted even at Prince Philip's memorial service in 2021.
03:41 Regardless of the truth behind the allegations though, the scandal prompted the royal couple
03:45 to take a closer look at their marriage.
03:49 And according to an exclusive source to Us Weekly, it pushed William and Kate Milton
03:54 to reflect on their relationship more intentionally, realizing that they should be doing so more
04:01 regularly.
04:02 So at least some positive came out of that negative situation.
04:06 There was also writer Richard Kaye who suggested that the fallout from the alleged affair nearly
04:11 led both parties to consider taking legal action.
04:14 Additionally, writers Giles Corrin and Nicole Cliff claimed to have knowledge of the supposed
04:21 affair between William and Rose Hanbury back in 2019, and this is based on a report by
04:27 IB Times.
04:28 Reportedly, William's lawyer issued a legal warning, but neither party involved has publicly
04:34 addressed the rumors.
04:36 An insider from the royal family did stress to the Daily Beast publication that there
04:41 has never been any animosity between Kate and Rose, so they dismissed the rumors as
04:48 baseless, saying that Rose's family remains longstanding allies of the crown.
04:53 Despite some deleted tweets though, and gossip here and there, there's still no concrete
04:57 evidence of an affair.
04:59 William, Kate, and Rose have chosen to remain completely silent on this whole matter.
05:05 Which is another reason why some people think that the rumors could be true.
05:10 Why not outright deny it if they're just rumors?
05:14 This is also the stance of Omid Scobie.
05:16 He just says that there's still no proof of this, although he did quote the claim in his
05:21 book, but he believes that there's still not 100% proof.
05:25 The reason why I think that they're just not addressing this at all is because the royal
05:31 family wants to engage in things that are worthwhile for them.
05:35 Even the whole Meghan and Harry drama that went down, the royal family remained relatively
05:39 silent and dealt with things behind the scenes for the most part, and it's not their style
05:45 guys to address gossip publicly.
05:48 So I think that William, Kate, and everybody involved is just dealing with this privately
05:53 as much as possible and doing what they can to protect their reputation.
05:58 Because rumors, even though they may be untrue, they can cause a lot of damage.
06:03 I personally don't think that William is the type to actually cheat, and even if he thought
06:09 about it, I don't think he would ever do it.
06:12 That's just too much risk.
06:13 I think he really loves Kate, he's got a great thing going with her, they've got a great
06:18 family.
06:19 So yeah, based on the information that I've seen, I don't think William cheated at all.
06:22 But I'm curious to know, what do you guys think?
