One major rumor was the alleged affair between Prince William and Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.
But what about Hanbury’s family?
So who is the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley?
He inherited his current title as the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley following his father’s death in 1990.
Being marquess wasn’t something I would have chosen for myself, he told the outlet in 1997.
In fact, I was rather frightened when it happened.
I haven’t got it all quite right yet.
Unlike his former position, his current role doesn’t require any fancy footwork.
He cemented his reputation as a playboy by dating a bevy of beautiful models and actresses.
It wasn’t just his womanizing ways that made the rakish aristocrat the talk of the town.
Cholmondeley also struck up what turned out to be a lifelong friendship with Francois-Marie Banier.
Then, a young 19-year-old model named Rose Hanbury entered the scene, and the 42-year-old marquess was smitten.
Like the marquess, Hanbury also has royal connections.
Just a few months after marrying Rose Hanbury in 2009, he had not one but two male heirs.
“Both boys are being brought up with the name Cholmondeley,” their father told Vanity Fair.
The family welcomed a girl, Lady Iris Marina Aline Cholmondeley, in 2016.
“It’s very nice to have a family here,” he told Vanity Fair.
“Family life brings a new dimension and some things need to adapt,” Hanbury toldThe English Home.
“Every generation has to find a way to keep these places going,” he told Vanity Fair.
They continued to inspect photos of David Cholmondeley and Rose Hanbury posing at their Houghton Hill home.
However, the marquess is all of these things and a lot more.
Since then, he found a niche serving up British and French documentaries.
Not only did he direct the film, but he also collaborated on the script.
“I like nostalgia and the passage of time,” he told The New York Times.
Is David Cholmondeley and Rose Hanbury’s marriage on the rocks?
This could not get juicier."
“She’s a pretty girl and David is often a long way away in Paris or London.”
