Rose Hanbury’s outfit choices aren’t the only reason people are suspicious of her motives. The Marchioness of Cholmondeley has been getting closer to the royal family in other ways, as well. Days before she wore her Kate Middleton recreation, Hanbury spent time with Queen Camilla. The two women were photographed on the last day of the Badminton Horse Trials 2024 in matching blue outfits. The queen was all smiles in a snap from the event (above), as she and Hanbury appeared deep in conversation.
Of course, we know that just days later, Hanbury wore an outfit similar to Kate at the Order of the British Empire Ceremony — but that’s not all. People also found it odd that her son was chosen to hold the end of King Charles robe as he entered St.Paul’s Cathedral for said event. With affair rumors involving her and Prince William swirling amid Kate’s disappearance from the public eye, Hanbury cozying up with other members of the royal family all seemed a bit strange to the public. One person tweeted, “Rose Hanbury is front and center in royal family affairs while Kate Middleton is no where. She’s hanging out with Camilla, her son holding King Charles robe, she’s wearing Kate’s hat. Yeah she’s making the rounds. #WhereIsKate.”
It looks like royal watchers have a new “royal” to watch in Kate’s absence.
