Now that Rose Hanbury has officially denied having an affair with Prince William amid the ongoing Kate Middleton conspiracy theories, many online are starting to examine where the origin of the rumors began.

Hanbury’s name has been thrust back into the limelight amid Kate Middleton’s ongoing recovery from abdominal surgery.

Now that Rose Hanbury has officially denied having an affair with Prince William amid the ongoing Kate Middleton conspiracy theories, many online are starting to examine where the origin of the rumors began.

On Monday, lawyers for the 40-year-old Marchioness of Cholmondeley told Business Insider that any and all reporting of improper relations between William, 41, and Hanbury “are completely false.” Furthermore, Kensington Palace has refused to respond to questions about the nature of their relationship.

This all comes as the Princess of Wales, 42, continues to recover from a January abdominal surgery and her more recent Photoshop controversy that sparked plenty of theorizing over her whereabouts. The notable absence since Dec. 25 has created a vacuum on social media for millions to speculate wildly about Kate’s condition — described as non-cancerous by Kensington Palace — and where she has been this entire time.

Among the arm’s length list of theories are several that prominently feature Hanbury’s name in connection to resurfaced rumors of an affair with the next in line for the British throne.

Below, ET has compiled answers to some of the internet’s most pressing questions about Hanbury and her connection to the future king of England.

Who Is Rose Hanbury?

Rose is 40 years old and a former model. She’s officially Sarah Rose Cholmondeley, Marchioness of Cholmondeley. She and her husband David Rocksavage, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, share three children — 15-year-old twins Alexander Hugh George Cholmondeley, Earl of Rocksavage; Lord Oliver Timothy George Cholmondeley; and their 8-year-old daughter, Lady Iris Marina Aline Cholmondeley.

Rose once held the position of researcher for Michael Andrew Gove, a Member of Parliament and current Secretary of State for Leveling Up, Housing and Communities. According to The Independent, Rose now manages her husband’s estate.

The couple met in Italy in 2003 and were engaged six years later. They tied the knot at a private ceremony at Chelsea Town Hall in London in 2009.
