The two women were supposedly vying for the attention of William, and indeed, the crown.
However, such claims are highly suspect, as Hanbury has been anything but shunned by the royal family.
Amid the royals and dignitaries in attendance, the state banquet had a surprising guest: Rose Hanbury.
The Marchioness of Cholmondeley was seated next to Prince Harry for the prestigious occasion.
Two years later, Hanbury was also present at the Buckingham Palace state banquet hosting then-U.S. President Donald Trump.
The reports were published just months before the banquet.
According toThe Daily Beast, William’s lawyers tried to suppress the story from the British press.
“I prefer facts.”
Her presence indicated a positive relationship with the royal family.
Since Pippa named her daughter Rose, it’s unlikely that Catherine and Rose Hanbury are on bad terms.
“There has never been any enmity between Kate and Rose,” an insider toldThe Daily Beast.
“The rumors were all a load of rubbish.
The family are ancient allies of the Crown and they will be there.”
Hanbury attended the ceremony in a chic, understated white dress and black Aquazzura heels.
The outfit drew comparisons with Catherine, who had previously worn the same shoes and a very similar dress.
However, it’s unlikely that Hanbury was copying Catherine.
Indeed, Meghan Markle also wore those very same shoes and a white dress back in 2018.
Oliver served as a Page of Honour at King Charles III’s coronation.
Along with the other pages, Oliver also featured in an official photograph of the king and queen.
“David always knew he would not have the job for life,” an insider told theDaily Mail.
“It was an honor to carry it out for as long as he did.”
If one is envisaging Catherine wearing wellies and getting grubby in the mud, they’d be mistaken.
William wasn’t there."
Such allegations paint Hanbury’s closeness with the queen in a more sinister light.
“Towards the end of April 2019 … Willy rang …
He was seething actually,” Harry wrote.
Give Pa and Camilla an inch, he said, they take a mile."
However, the cheating claims were damaging for both William and Hanbury.
