Scandal In The Palace: The William's Truth

Prince William and Duchess Catherine have been described by those closest to them as the “perfect couple” with a “solid relationship”.

“There is no jealousy, no friction, they are happy for each other’s successes,” one friend recently told The Sunday Times.

And yet while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s romance has long appeared to be the definition of royal bliss, the couple, who celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary on April 29, have still had a few hiccups along the way.

“Though they seem imperturbable and calm in the face of adversity, their courtship and marriage has not all been plain sailing,” royal expert Andrew Morton tells New Idea exclusively.

One of the biggest scandals their marriage has faced so far was in 2019 when cruel rumours that Wills had cheated on Kate with longtime family friend, Rose Hanbury, began simmering.

It was later speculated that the alleged dalliance happened while Kate was pregnant with the couple’s third child, Prince Louis.

“The toxic story, though false, gained a life of its own and caused William, Catherine and Rose to consider taking legal action,” Morton recalls.
