In April 2019, a few outlets reported that Prince William might have had an affair with Rose Hanbury, the wife of David Rocksavage, the Marquess of Cholmondeley. There were also a number of reports that Kate Middleton was not taking to the rumors well, and that she and Rose were feuding.
Rumors of William's affair were never substantiated, and it seemed that the news cycle moved on to other royal stories.
David Rocksavage is getting a lot of attention, as King Charles has recently appointed him to the post of lord-in-waiting. The position is a particularly important one, as the lord-in-waiting presents the monarch at official events and often attends several important events himself.
These days, it's said that the Prince and Princess of Wales are once again close with David and Rose, and the four all live near one another with their children. Reportedly, the new boost to lord-in-waiting is one that everyone is happy with.
