Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal marriage is once again rocked by cheating rumors as the cancer-stricken princess continues her battle against the disease.
Tales of William's alleged affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, first started spreading in 2019 – and came back with a vengeance earlier this year when Kate's mysterious absence from the public eye led to wild speculation about their relationship.

Gossip about William having an affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, first began in 2019.
Things quieted down after the Princess of Wales first disclosed her heartbreaking diagnosis in March, but some are now claiming that William has gone running back to Rose even as his wife fights for her life, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Kensington Palace has dismissed the persistent gossip as “totally wrong and false”, with an insider adding: “It’s horrendous for Kate that these rumors don’t go away. Especially now that she’s sick.”

The rumors returned as Kate Middleton stepped away from the public eye amid her battle with cancer.
In his explosive book Endgame, royal expert Omid Scobie revealed Rose had “one or two suppers with William in Norfolk while Kate was away” and that the princess “was grateful that a good friend and neighbor like Rose was there to entertain William”.
The insider clarified their tête-à-têtes were purely platonic: “William has had meetings with Rose Hanbury. They’re friends, and he finds it diabolical that people would suggest otherwise.”

Rose Hanbury has publicly denied the rumors as "completely false".
Late night host Stephen Colbert fanned the flames further when he joked about the alleged infidelity on his show in the wake of Kate's Mother's Day Photoshop fiasco, saying: “Oh no. My heart goes out to poor Kate. Now let’s dish the hot goss, I am ready to spill the tea!”
In March, Rose herself broke her years-long silence to publicly deny the illicit romance, with her attorneys stating in no uncertain terms: “The rumors are completely false.”

King Charles famously carried on an affair with his now-wife, Queen Camilla, while he was still married to William's late mother Princess Diana, which is why William doesn't wanted to discuss his own love life issues with dear old dad.
As a source told Star: “He doesn’t want to distress his father as he’s going through his cancer treatment. There’s also some suggestion William wouldn’t want to talk about this topic for fear it would bring bad memories for Charles. If it were up to Camilla, she would tell William to stow the rumors and focus on more pressing matters.”
