Stephen Colbert floats Prince William and Rose Hanbury affair theory

However, the internet has rushed into multiple conspiracy theories. One of which was waded by Stephen Colbert during his ‘The Late Show,’ a few days ago.

“The kingdom has been all a flutter by the seeming disappearance of Kate Middleton. Well now, internet sleuths are guessing that Kate’s absence may be related to her husband and the future King of England William having an affair,” the 59-year-old said in his monologue.

He continued, “So, I think we all know who the alleged other woman is. Say it with me –– the Marchioness of Cholmondeley –– what a beautiful name!” Colbert quipped, referencing Hanbury’s formal royal title.

He said while taking a shot at Hanbury’s previous royal title, further explaining that the word Cholmondeley is actually pronounced ‘Chumley.’

“Now there have been rumors an affair between William and the Marching Band of Chicanery since 2019,” he kept on making fun of the title.

“According to tabloids back then, when Kate supposedly confronted him about it, he laughed it off saying there was nothing to it. Always a good response when your wife accuses you of cheating,” the comedian continued.
