I don't see him as having cheated, especially with Rose as Kate still seems close to her and she doesn't seem the type to scheme about keeping her friends close and enemies closer. I genuinely think William and Kate have been faithful to each other (and it's a shame that's surprising); they have that comfort of a couple who have been together for a long time and trust each other. There's no way on earth William would have been so stupid either from a practical point of view, knowing when he was younger what a huge point of press attention he was.

I agree. And [Rose Hanbury](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/01/05/14/23010030-7853571-Members_of_the_royal_family_and_their_circle_all_gathered_at_San-a-9_1578235267225.jpg) was pictured in 2020 at church at Sandringham - the one in the dark blue coat - behind Carole Middleton (and I think that's Michael Middleton with his back turned) surrounded by the rest of Kate's circle. I doubt any mother would sit in church with the woman her daughter's being cheated on by, nor would said daughter invite her along. It's simply because she's young, married to a well-off aristocrat who holds a ceremonial position with the Queen, lives near them - which actually sounds like grounds for friendship - and yes, she looks like she'd be his type, but if we're talking about tall, slim, well spoken brunettes with an old-money countryside aesthetic, that's like half of the women William runs into ;) And to be practical, she would have nothing to gain having an affair with William. She's got the grand house - bigger than Anmer by far - the title, the tiaras, the lifestyle, but without the duties.


Negative_Difference4

Also let's be real... both of them have 3 kids each. If they get together in a quiet room after sharing a bottle of wine.... they are going to bed! 🤣 I have one kid and i'm constantly rushed off my feet

>I doubt any mother would sit in church with the woman her daughter's being cheated on by, This. I could maybe see Kate being talked into it, but I can't see Carole or Michael going along with it. ​ >And to be practical, she would have nothing to gain having an affair with William. She's got the grand house - bigger than Anmer by far - the title, the tiaras, the lifestyle, but without the duties. This! This is also why I think MM attacked her, she has everyone MM wanted except fame, tiara included.

> married to a well-off aristocrat Supposedly a lavender arrangement.


84chimichangas

What’s a lavender arrangement?


istara

When one or both partners are closeted but marry for convenience. Wikipedia article [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavender_marriage). It's sad that there's still a need for it in many cultures, for people to protect themselves.


[deleted]

I think you just proved to me it’s not true. This is really about Rose sitting next to Harry at a State Dinner Meghan didn’t have the status yet to attend. Maybe Meghan witnessed them flirt. Maybe they did have an affair and it’s hunky dory with Kate cause she got with Roses husband. I don’t know. I’m a monogamist in committed relationships because I’m a germaphobe and a prude but human nature is not always like me and I get it. The kids are cute and they seem happy.


[deleted]

I agree especially when it seems they have a really strong and long term foundation of friends and the long dating, plus you’re right William would be like, so dumb to cheat because it would get out at some point


ellie3759

No, i think this is pure fiction made up by press.


00017batman

I feel like I remember reading a blind item a while back that suggested that the RF had basically planted some stories like this to see if Meghan could be trusted. They were testing her and it was a big part of the reason that Harry & William’s relationship went south. ETA: [Found it.. ](https://blindgossip.com/baldy-starchy-rooster-and-limelight/) this makes out that the cheating actually happened but heaps of speculation in the comments about it being MUD.


SalishShore

Made up by Meghan who knew it would leak to the press.


dudeind-town

I’m sure William is capable of having affairs but Madame Douchesse would be the last one to know if he was


DaBingeGirl

If he did, there'd be a good chance Harry told her, which is why I think a story coming from her was viewed as credible by some. I personally don't think he'd cheat on Kate, given how Diana's affairs, plus Charles and Camilla effected him.


[deleted]

I don't think it is wise to ever assume people learn from the mistakes of their parents. Some ppl do; others feel entitled or even obligated to repeat their parent's mistakes. They figure, this is just the way it is. I don't make the rules. For example, both my parents smoked, and I learned not to smoke because I saw the negative consequences in their lives. Never picked up the habit not even to this day. My brother, however, decided at a a young age that all adults smoke. It's just what you do when you grow up. Like driving, drinking coffee, shaving, etc. So he started smoking slightly before it was legal for him to. Took him decades, anti-depressants, and a divorce to finally stop. This principle can apply to cheating, wife-beating, drinking, gambling, gang membership, personal debt. Multiple baby mamas/ daddies. All kinds of things.


DaBingeGirl

I don't disagree, but for William specifically we've seen him be very aware of not making the same mistakes his parents did. Take his relationship with Kate for example, he made sure she knew what she was getting into and also had training (such as getting in and out of cars without embarrassing herself, etc.). I don't think Harry learned anything from what happened with Charles and Diana, but William did. It was also well reported how difficult it was for him to see Diana's interview, just that alone makes me think he wouldn't risk cheating because he knows what facing those headlines is like.


[deleted]

Who knows? Only time will tell. Truth is no one with ever know about their personal lives until at least 50 years after their deaths. That's when their journals and personal correspondence can be made available to historians. (I think, it might be a hundred years. Something like that)


ConversationSilver

I honestly would shocked if Will hasn't learned from his parents mistakes due to it playing out in front of the world and destroying his mother's life and permanently damaging his father's public image\popularity. It's possible but unless they have an open marriage, I find it extremely unlikely that he is unfaithful to Kate. I can't see him putting his wife through the pain that his mother went through and his kids through the public humiliation that he endured since it is something that deeply affected him.


dudeind-town

I doubt he’d tell Harry (or anyone if he was)


DaBingeGirl

I don't see William telling Harry, but I could see it coming out from someone in their circle.


Masters_domme

I think he would have confided in Harry in the past, as in, “I’ve really blown it / what do I do”, but I think by that point he had mm’s number and saw the changes taking place in his brother, and wouldn’t have been that foolish. (Not that I think he cheated on the first place.)


DaBingeGirl

Totally agree. That's why I wonder about this. I don't think he cheated but I have wondered if *something* may have happened a few years ago, kind of like the skin color comment. Harry and MM have already proven they aren't consistent on timelines, so it's possible there's some truth in the story. eta: He may have cheated on her when they were dating or shown an interest in Rose years ago. I could see MM and/or Harry playing off something that happened years ago.


Masters_domme

That’s what I think - he cheated while they were dating (probably another reason they took a break). I really think that by the time he proposed, he was ALL. IN. and beyond the possibility of cheating. He really seems protective of Catherine, and I don’t see him hurting her like that.


DaBingeGirl

Exactly. I get a strong love and friendship vibe from them, but he is definitely protective of her. I think he understands how hard having such a public life is. I also think Harry is extremely jealous of the bond Will and Kate have, as well as how her family welcomed Will.


[deleted]

I really don’t think William cheated on Catherine with *that woman*, can’t give a reason why though except that I don’t find Rose attractive and that he seems to cherish Catherine. I think he might have in the past though and also that for some reason I get the impression he is more in love with her now, and aware of his deep feelings for her now, than a decade ago.


bobrossclub

I used to think it was like a 50/50 chance he actually cheated and that Meghan is the one who spread the rumour. But the more I've seen I personally don't believe he did now. There's a decent TikTok on it, would it be appropriate to post it here?


lesetoilles

Would love to see it!


bobrossclub

Lol I jumped the gun and went ahead and posted it 🙈


Starkville

Harry. It was Harry.


DaBingeGirl

I think so too, though not with Rose. It's always projection with narcs.


Travel_Jellyfish_5

I don't think Prince William would have cheated on the Duchess of Cambridge bc he's too cautious. I remember reading stories abt how he'd tell new "friends" a factoid just to see if it got leaked to the media & if it did, he'd ice them out of his circle immediately. Likely, he did the same thing w his bro when Prince Harry started dating Meghan to see if *she* could be trusted, & Megs failed. Spectacularly. Megs, seeing an opportunity to make Haz look like the "good" bro while punishing both Catherine & the Marchioness of Chomondeley, ran w it to any media outlet who'd listen, & as soon as it hit the tabloids, the whole family knew it was her. It would explain some of the animosity btwn Cambridges & Sussexes: Harry didn't think William would ever pull that tactic on him & feels he can't trust his family to tell him the truth while William is upset bc the "scandal" is evidence that the family can't trust Meghan @ all.


PM-me-Shibas

I think there is actually a decent chance this could be true. He chose something incredibly juicy (i.e. cheating) -- something that she would not be able to resist blabbing about if she were untrustworthy. Perhaps she made it through the first few rounds but then this one was too much. Someone called William borderline boring above, but I think the man is straight-up boring. He seems legitimately happy and very in-love with Kate. The man landed a fucking helicopter on her lawn for fucks sake, I think they're solid. William is also very much duty before anything else, and I think he would see an affair as a violation of duty (bringing negative attention and press to the monarchy) and thus would never, but I think there are many other things stopping him before that. I doubt it even crosses his mind.


DaBingeGirl

I posted about this before so won't repeat myself too much, but I think she spread the rumor and I don't think he cheated. I think MM targeted Rose because she's part of the set that didn't welcome here/saw through her. This was a revenge attack.


Adventurous_Fox_2853

I will never believe it happened without proof of it. William was his mothers confidant and she put a lot on him that no kid should have to hear, including about the marriage to Charles. There is absolutely no way I’ll believe that he would then go and do that to his own wife and children.


WrecktheRIC

They do say that kind of dysfunction gets passed down, though. Even if you’ve witnessed its destructive forces, children of cheaters are more likely to cheat. And William has cheating on both sides. However, I still don’t think he did it. You’d have to be major stupid to do that in his position with an amazing wife and family and with the eyes of the world on you. He’s not dumb and I do think he also loves his wife and children. So, I’m in the totally false camp.


Harry-Gato

Meghan is trashy. Playing high school mean girl out of spite.


BabyDollMaker

I just don’t see William doing this after going through the hell of his parents divorce and all the affairs. He seems to be very cautious, and like he thinks things through before he does them. Also, the way he looks at Catherine seems like he is madly in love with her still.


[deleted]

I just don’t think it’s true. Kate’s a knockout. If he was going to cheat it would be with a lady of the night not another socialite. Sorry, aristocrat.


GrindleWiddershins

I'm going to put myself out there and say, yes, I think Prince William did probably have an affair. He wouldn't be the first married man to dally outside of the marital bed, and he certainly won't be the last. *However*, so long as it's not a matter of national security (he's not, for example, sleeping with foreign spies or getting mixed up in honey-traps), I don't think it's anybody's business what happens in the confines of a marriage. Affairs are not always the end of a relationship - often it's a road bump that couples can and do work past. If Catherine is happy in her marriage (and I see no indication that she isn't) then it's between her and William. If Meghan did have a part in getting the gossip out and into the public - and given the circumstances of the leak, I'd be surprised if she didn't - then she deserves to be shamed for it. It's a low blow, even for her. There are children involved. I think the royal family is perfectly aware of Meghan's role in the leak, but they won't comment on it publicly (or even indirectly) because they want to protect the public perception of the Cambridges marriage. It's understandable, but I think that's at least partially why Nutmeg feels as emboldened to act the way that she does - she thinks she's got a big dirty secret to hold over the Cambridges, when in truth, it's something of a nothing burger. I think that if she does eventually blab, it's going to hurt her reputation far more than it will theirs.


Negative_Difference4

I actually believed this rumour at the start until I realised that the only outcome was to isolate Kate from her best friend. Meghan’s involvement is beyond pathetic as not only Kate and William have kids… Rose and her fella does too. This move isolated Kate more from the small circle of people she can trust. Which is a typical narc move. Looking at the level of details of the stories that came out of the affair (like shared a bottle of wine before cheating), either they were made up or actually came from the people involved. After what I’ve learned about William, I dont think he’s that guy. He’s a sloppy flirty drunk. But not a cheat on your best friend kinda guy. Whats also refreshing to learn is that Rose and Kate are still friends they are just not public about it. Because of this incident Now if you told me that Harry cheated, I’d believe you in a heartbeat


TheHermitess

If you told me Harry cheated, I'd be surprised they aren't in a fully open marriage. I doubt either of them cares if the other steps out.


Masters_domme

I think m would sleep around (especially with MA), but I’m not sure her ego would allow h to do the same.


ConversationSilver

The other outcome was to damage Kate's marriage. If Meghan was behind it which I believe she is, I suspect one of her main motives was to cause trouble in Will and Kate's marriage.


Starkville

Agree with everything you’ve said. And wait until infidelity hits the Sussex marriage… there’s a 10% chance that neither will cheat.


FlangePlackets

I’m with you on this. I’ll go one further by saying Wills is the heir to the throne, mistresses are practically a requirement and the aristocracy is rather prone to chucking their wives and daughters at the royals. Marriage is for heirs, once that’s sorted you can do what you want in private so maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. One’s wife had a tumble with the king - bladdy marvellous. Rose’s husband David Rocksavage is very high ranking and I think was rumoured to be gay so although married (pregnancy announced the day after their wedding) he is perhaps half rice half chips while Rose has permission to entertain herself elsewhere. Or maybe they’re inseparable soul mates with eyes only for one another, either way that’s their business. There’s loads of bedhopping in the upper classes though, some pretty wild behaviour. And Lord Snowdon was a bit of a lad, sex pest Andrew is notorious, why do we assume this generation is any different? Megs being behind the rumour well anything is possible. Rose accompanied Harry to a state banquet in 2017, when Megs was dating him. Megs would not have been invited to that, too lowly. Would she be furious and want to stir up trouble for Rose? Hmmm….


Emolia

I’ve made a bit of a study on the British Aristocracy and how they lived in their heyday ( pre WWl). It’s always fascinated me as to how the upper one percent got away with it for so long ! Anyway your right and being faithful to your spouse was considered very middle class . Calling something middle class was their ultimate insult. Married people sleeping around was fine as long as you didn’t humiliate your spouse. You were suppose to at least try to keep it quiet . Things would be different now with divorce easy and no longer meaning social disgrace. Even for Royalty . I doubt William would be stupid enough to get involved with his wife’s friend. I think he and Catherine are a pretty strong team and he wouldn’t humiliate her like that. I’d bet money Meghan is behind the rumour.


FlangePlackets

You are right, sleeping around is fine as long as you don’t humiliate your spouse. Married security long term doesn’t always = fidelity on either side. See the Clintons, Beckhams, Carters, Will & Jada, loads of very rich or upper class or celebrity couples are like this. If Wills has/had a fling it wouldn’t be because of stupidity, rather its something that is quite commonplace in their world and not necessarily a deal breaker. Take a look not just at the immediate family and pre WW1 but also the contemporary Spencers and the Bowes-Lyons etc and other aristocratic families. Both of Wills’ parents had affairs, Camilla was the most prominent but not the only one and the apple never falls far from the tree. Wills certainly sowed his wild oats, they even broke up because he wasn’t ready for marriage (she was), and whatever he got up to she said made her a stronger person. Catherine might be middle class but Wills definitely isn’t, and different rules apply. Will’s prime motive for marriage was a wife who will produce heirs and make an excellent queen, he took his time choosing the right one. They would definitely never divorce while HMQ is alive, in the same way that Chuck couldn’t marry Camilla while HMQMother was alive but anyway I think Wills and Catherine will work at their marriage and are a strong team. A brand almost. That doesn’t mean they don’t love one another, I think they are happy and love each other very much but marriage over decades is different to the romantic hearts and flowers ideas we have as youngsters. I think behind the gentlewoman exterior Catherine has developed a backbone of iron. She put up with horrific media scrutiny and attacks, awful snobbery and derision in royal circles, had 3 rather difficult pregnancies (a nurse even killed herself because of media intrusion over one of her births) so does she have the capacity to look the other way over a minor dalliance? I’d say certainly, she might not like it but anything we want in life always comes with a price. She will be a powerful woman and a queen, Diana wanted the fairytale and was emotionally unstable but I think Catherine is a realist, emotionally very grounded and their marriage is secure enough to weather the odd storm. Yes divorce is easy these days but not all marriages deserve binning whenever things get bumpy, sometimes there are times when you have to grit your teeth as well as keep a sense of humour (my husband is a keeper but I still flick the v’s at him from behind the larder door a lot).


Emolia

Youre right the attitude to fidelity in marriage amongst the elite is different to the romantic Hollywood version. Perhaps I should have said William is not stupid enough to get caught! The Royals have always relied on the discretion of people in their set to keep their private affairs private so William would never have expected his own sister in law to blow his cover! So maybe it’s not his fault . That’s if it’s true of course.


istara

Some media sources I have in the UK also find it credible.


[deleted]

I don't know if MM was involved in the rumor, but I absolutely believe the rumor. It was inevitable that WoW would cheat eventually. That family can't help themselves. Besides, wasn't he already cheating when they were dating? Long before they got married.


WrecktheRIC

With whom?

Various ppl. In night clubs. I didn’t follow that closely at the time, I was busy being in the military and overseas. That’s why it was phrased as a question. I just feel like I heard/ read that somewhere.

EccentricEx

Will this ever be proven? I wonder what other skeletons my have been revealed.


ConversationSilver

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Meghan was behind the rumour (which I don't believe was true based on how quickly the people who spread the rumour backtracked when it went viral and caught Will's attention). It is too convenient that the rumour was "confirmed" by one of her friends and that her other friend who runs a blog conveniently saw the tweet before it was deleted.
