As the countdown to the coronation ticks away, the world’s attention is riveted on the royal family.
Speculation is rampant about who will attend, where they’ll sit, and whether tensions will flare over Prince Harry‘s explosive memoir, “Spare.”
But this time, it’s not Harry and Meghan stealing the spotlight; it’s Rose Hanbury, the neighbor of the Prince and Princess of Wales, who’s at the center of the gossip storm.
Rose Hanbury is expected to grace the coronation with her presence, a familiar face at royal events.
She has been spotted alongside Prince William and Kate Middleton multiple times, including at significant occasions like Prince Philip‘s memorial and Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral last year.
Her attendance is particularly noteworthy as she is married to David Chumley, the 7th Marquess of Chumley, who has been appointed as King Charles‘ lord-in-waiting.
Adding to the intrigue, her son, Oliver, has been selected as one of the king’s pages, sharing duties with Prince George.
In a twist of fate, rumors have emerged regarding Prince Harry’s seating arrangements during the coronation.
Reports suggest he will be seated far from his father, King Charles, tucked away in Row 11.
Interestingly, Rose Hanbury is also rumored to occupy a seat in that same area, which could make for some riveting royal drama.
The backdrop of this unfolding narrative includes Meghan Markle‘s past jealousy towards the seemingly perfect family of William and Kate.
In a bid to stir the pot, Meghan allegedly paid a journalist, Giles Curran, to spread rumors about an affair between William and Rose.
Despite the sensational claims, the public remained skeptical, and Curran later confessed he had no concrete sources to back up his story.
The timeline is intriguing.
This all unfolded just a month after Meghan announced her pregnancy with Archie.
It was a time when she and Harry were reportedly indulging in heavy drinking during a trip to Amsterdam.
Curran, who fueled the affair rumors, claimed everyone knew about the supposed indiscretion, but his credibility took a hit when he admitted on Twitter that he had fabricated the story.
Looking back, there was a notable moment in 2017 when Harry and Rose shared a seat at a state banquet attended by Spanish royalty.
At that time, Harry was dating Meghan, who would later become his fiancée.
This banquet marked Harry’s first official event, and just months later, he and Meghan announced their engagement.
The timeline becomes even more convoluted when considering the royal births and engagements that followed.
Just two months after the state banquet, it was revealed that Kate was pregnant with Prince Louis.
Harry and Meghan’s engagement announcement came shortly after, leading to speculation about the timing of their relationship.
What if, amid all these royal engagements and announcements, Harry had indeed had an affair with Rose?
The theory posits that he might have deflected attention onto William, especially since Meghan was often busy filming “Suits” in Toronto, leaving Harry with some freedom during their long-distance courtship.
British socialite and food critic Giles Corn added fuel to the fire when he tweeted about the alleged affair, claiming, “Everyone knows about the affair, darling.” Although he quickly deleted the post, the damage was already done, reigniting interest in the swirling rumors surrounding the royals.
As the coronation approaches, the tension between the Sussexes and the Cambridges continues to captivate audiences.
With Meghan’s past insecurities and the ongoing chatter about Rose, it seems the royal family will remain in the spotlight, no matter how many crowns are placed upon heads.
