During Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the Duke of Sussex suggested that the royal family supposedly had a silent agreement with the British press, according to the BBC. He elaborated on that notion in 2023 when he suggested that "certain members have decided to get in the bed with the devil," meaning the press, per The Independent. Well, it seems like that might or might not have happened back in 2019 when reports surfaced of a possible extramarital affair between Prince William and Rose Hanbury. 

Without naming names, "Endgame" author Omid Scobie explained to She Knows that someone behind closed palace doors might have supposedly orchestrated all of the negative Prince Harry and Meghan Markle articles to help bury the Prince William and Hanbury scandal. And that was a move that Prince William's handlers now regret. "There's definitely a feeling that those days were like dark times, and lines were crossed on all sides. Now, none of that's ever publicly admitted but it's certainly acknowledged by a few," he said.

And while the Prince William and Hanbury rumors were never confirmed or denied, that hasn't stopped the beautiful brunette from still making appearances with the royal family.
