According to a 2009 article by an unnamed outlet, Rose’s engagement to David Rocksavage, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, was swiftly followed by a pregnancy announcement from Rose’s mother, Emma Hanbury, who revealed that her daughter was expecting twins.

Almost immediately after this announcement circulated in public spheres, the couple married in a discreet ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall, with no photographs from their engagement or wedding shared, adding an air of mystery to their union.

The couple welcomed their twin sons, Alexander, Earl of Rocksavage, and Oliver, Lord Cholmondeley, and daughter, Lady Iris. Rose’s familial background is rich in connections to the British royal family. She and her sister, Marina Hanbury, grew up under the guidance of their parents, Emma and Timothy Hanbury.

Emma’s expertise in interior design and her royal ties—closely connected to Queen Elizabeth II—speak volumes about a family deeply embedded in British aristocratic tradition. Thus, it is no surprise that the connection between the Hanbury family and the royal family has continued through generations. For instance, during the coronation of King Charles, Rose’s son, Lord Oliver, joined Prince George as one of the Pages of Honour.

However, the cheating allegations against Rose began to emerge when the media started speculating about the reason behind the public disappearance of the Princess of Wales. As previously reported, Kate took a break from her public duties after it was reported that she had undergone abdominal surgery.

Despite denying the cheating allegations, and despite the fact that Rose is married with children, internet users have not stopped speculating. The Prince of Wales recently attended the UEFA quarterfinal match between Aston Villa and Lille OSC at Villa Park on April 11, 2024, in Birmingham, England.

Prince William was watching the match with his son George, but in the pictures that surfaced from the match, one of Rose’s sons was noticed, and fans had a few things to say. In the comment section, one person made a point to mention the attendance of Rose’s son, “The boy on the right is Rose’s son, the same boy from the coronation,” wrote a commenter.

Another added, “His wife had cancer, and he’s enjoying a match with his mistress’s son.” Speculation about Rose’s son’s attendance continued even on the X platform, with one netizen emphasizing, “Don’t forget the other lady’s son too. He’s right there with them. #blendedfamily.”

More people shared the same sentiments, “Not exactly the father-son duo. William brought Rose Hanbury’s son along with him too,” Another X user asked, “And his other son?”

However, in the midst of speculative comments, some netizens commended the Prince of Wales for taking his son out to watch the match. “Prince William is an incredible father,” gushed a commenter, with another adding, “Now that’s how a real father spends time with his son. Just saying.”

It is not entirely abnormal for Prince William’s children to have a close relationship with Rose’s family, given that the Prince of Wales and The Marchioness of Cholmondeley live close to one another.

As previously reported, the couple live in an extraordinary house in Houghton, Norfolk, which is located just three miles from Anmer Hall, home to Prince William and Princess Catherine. Rose and David once gave a private tour of its polished interior and glorious gardens.

The castle-like house, called Houghton Hall, is built with a blend of Georgian architecture and English landscape gardening. The house has a black diamond-patterned flagstone floor, fireplaces, niches, pediments, and busts done by John Michael Rysbrack, a Flemish sculptor.

The hall, which is peach, is done in an Anglo-Palladian style by architect Colen Campbell. It was built by Thomas Ripley. The hall also features rainbow-colored geometric glass sculpture, done by Sean Scully, an Irish-American artist.

The staterooms, which are open to visitors, are filled by William Kent’s, a contractor, ornate opulence. The furniture and picture frames also make the house feel like a home to Rose, David, and their three kids.

David was given a new role as one of the King’s Lords in Waiting after the coronation of King Charles III. Together with Rose and their kids, they enjoy this residence, whose lawns have peacocks and a white deer.

The sparkly clean bathroom is a sight to behold. However, one does not help but notice Rose’s questionable decor choice, considering that the toilet paper has been kept in a bowl on the floor, which is quite odd and funny. Most toilet papers in modern bathrooms are kept in a roll holder mounted on the wall.

Still, indoors, the piping, electricity, and phone system were all revamped. The mansion’s bedrooms are filled with gorgeous antique furniture and paintings. The chandeliers are well-decorated, some using sewn fabric.

The vaulted ceilings and sturdy pillars make the halls stand out. The sitting room is filled with light while the impressive stairwell is made up of a 17th-century bronze replica of a Borghese Gladiator by Le Sueur.

One wing of the hall hosts the family kitchen while another has a cute picture gallery with portraits of old masters and a chinoiserie anteroom. Rose’s husband has been familiar with this house since he was a child as he lived there and would visit during summer. His grandmother, Lady Sybil Cholmondeley educated him about the house.

Rose also said, “I was startled by the house on my first visit – it is so beautiful. I suppose I have learned a lot through living here and through David, who is so knowledgeable.” The first thing Rose Hanbury and her husband did was create a family kitchen with big sofas, restore the nursery, and enhance the children’s bedrooms.

Still, Rose noted, “The house never felt spooky – you could sense that it has been well lived-in and loved.” Additionally, the regular introduction of art installations throughout the estate and inside the house itself continuously attracts visitors, offering fresh viewpoints of Houghton with each visit.

Yet Houghton Hall is not simply a relic of the past; it has an air of ongoing development and habitation. The owners continue to uncover surprises, including an unopened box of Sunlight soaps. However, not all discoveries are pleasant, such as a neglected wardrobe filled with fur coats damaged by moths. The laundry room is also piled high.

Furthermore, David transformed a spacious, fire-damaged room in the north wing—previously used as a gym by his sports-enthusiast grandfather—into sleek, art deco-inspired living quarters. Initially, David planned to reside there with Rose upon marriage. However, as their family expanded, the space became inadequate for their needs and is now utilized as guest accommodation.

The two-level, two-bedroom apartment, adorned with polished, ginger-toned maple wood, exudes the elegance of a 1920s luxury cruise ship. It is furnished with art deco items from David’s London home and collectibles from the couple’s own deco-inspired Houghton Collection, founded in 2002.

This apartment’s interiors shine as light reflects off surfaces of glass, mirrors, and marble. Cholmondeley’s Scandinavian art collection adorns the walls, and the open-plan kitchen offers views of a secluded garden with a swimming pool. “We are always here in the summer: it is so private,” said Rose.

Rose enjoys living with her family in Houghton Hall. The family doesn’t use the staterooms in any personal capacity as they are too formal. However, they have made a lovely home in their private quarters, which holds a mix of the new and old, including possessions from their travels.
