With UK's Princess of Wales, Catherine's long absence from her public appearances and duties, rumours are rife that all is not good between her and her husband, Prince of Wales- Prince William. More recently, hours after the photo-editing controversy, Catherine, who is popularly known by her maiden name Kate Middleton, was seen heading out with her husband-- however, she appeared to be unhappy. So much so that sources have even called her "looking like sad Princess Diana". Some rumours have even hinted at trouble in their marriage because of Lady Sarah Rose Hanbury. But who is she and why is she being linked to Prince William? Read on to know more.
All about Lady Sarah Rose HanburyLady Sarah Rose Hanbury is the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, and she is said to be a part of Kate and William's inner social-circle. Born on March 15, 1984, Lady Sarah Rose Hanbury is a former model. She belongs to a family who has deep-rooted history with the British Royal family. Sarah Rose is married David Cholmondeley, who is the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, in 2009 -- this significantly elevated her social status.
Sarah and her husband moved to Houghton Hall, a huge estate where they live with their family, which made them neighbours to Kate and William.
For those who don't know, marquess is a hereditary rank which is followed in the British nobility, and it is just behind the duke. It is noted that when Queen Elisabeth II was alive, Kate and William were known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge-- and thus just a step ahead of the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley in the pecking order. It was after Queen Elisabeth II's death and when Prince William's father was made the King, that Kate and William were promoted to their new designation of Prince and Princess of Wales.
Why is Lady Sarah Rose Hanbury being linked to Kate and Prince William's drama?After the recent controversy of Kensington Palace posting Kate's highly-edited picture with her children and Kate taking complete responsibility for it and apologising to people on social media, several people mentioned Sarah Rose Hanbury's name online. The reason: In 2019, there were rumours of Prince William and Sarah Rose Hanbury being involved, and now with Kate's absence from the public eye-- these rumours have resurfaced.
Just like Kate and William, Sarah and David have three children-- twin sons Alexander and Oliver, and and a daughter Iris.
Meanwhile, it is noted that the previous Prince and Princess of Wales-- Charles and Diana-- also had an unhappy marriage which led to their divorce. And now that Prince William and Kate have also been promoted to the rank of the new Prince and Princess of Wales, troubles in their marriage have started making the headlines. This makes us wonder then, if the Princess of Wales title is doomed?
