In a statement that has rippled through royal circles and beyond, Lady Sarah Rose Hanbury weighed in on the swirling affair allegations linking her to Prince William. “The rumours are completely false,” declared Lady Sarah through her legal representatives in an effort to draw an end to the speculation that has intrigued and divided public opinion.
This emphatic denial comes against the backdrop of renewed interest and speculation in the royal family’s personal dynamics, magnified by popular media and online platforms alike. The affair allegations resurfaced with vigor following a segment on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show, which tapped into the whirlwind of internet theories surrounding Princess Catherine’s recent ongoing absence from the public.

According to a news outlet, Stephen brought the rumor into the limelight. He mentioned that many people suggest that the Princess’s absence might be tied to murmurs of an affair between her husband—the future King of England—and Lady Sarah.

His monologue also touched on the fact that the affair rumors initially began in 2019. However, the renewed interest has turned what was once whispered speculation into a full-blown “Katespiracy,” a term coined by the internet to describe the mystery surrounding the Princess’s whereabouts and the alleged royal affair.
As a result of speculative claims reaching fever pitch, the official explanation for the Duchess’s absence—a recovery period following abdominal surgery—has done little to quell the tide of gossip and conjecture.
However, among the clamor of voices, some stand in defense of the royal couple’s marriage. “Kate is injured. I’m sure you can read between the lines!!” contrasted sharply with supportive statements like, “He married the Princess of Wales, would you all think the Prince of Wales will look elsewhere? They have 3 beautiful, amazing [and] smart children
Another fan referenced the past tumultuous marriage of Prince William’s parents, King Charles III and the late Princess Diana, as a deterrent against claims of infidelity. They expressed, “I don’t believe any of it. William wouldn’t do that after seeing what happened to his mum; he wouldn’t want the same for his wife and family. I don’t know how you get [away] with all these […] lies.”
This latest chapter in the ongoing saga of royal rumors underscores not only the voracious public appetite for details of the lives of the British royal family but also the complex relationship between public figures and the media. As Lady Sarah’s affair denial makes headlines, it attempts to draw a definitive conclusion to rumors that have long cast a shadow over two households closely linked by proximity and aristocratic ties.
