Guess who’s back in the royal spotlight, strutting her scandalous stuff? None other than Sarah Rose Hanbury, or as she likes to be called, “Rose.” And you won’t believe how she’s back in the headlines this time—thanks to the one and only Stephen Colbert and his royal rumble monologue featuring Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, aka Kate Middleton.
Colbert, the night owl of comedy, couldn’t resist diving into the juicy gossip pool surrounding the royals, especially with the Princess caught in a Photoshop snafu. He teased the audience with whispers of a conspiracy theory swirling around the regal realm.
“I’ve got some tea that’s hotter than the Queen’s favorite cup,” Colbert teased. “Rumor has it, Kate’s disappearing act might just be linked to some wandering eyes in the palace. Yes, there are whispers of William, the future King of England, having a little side hustle in the romance department.” And nope, Buckingham Palace hasn’t even bothered to RSVP to that rumor.
Colbert wasn’t about to let the alleged “other woman” slip under the radar. “Let’s give a royal welcome to the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, aka Sarah Rose Hanbury,” he declared, with a wink and a nod. “Word on the cobblestones is, these two have been playing royal footsie since 2019. And when Kate brought out the big guns and confronted William, what did he do? Laughed it off like it was a joke! Classic move, Your Majesty.”
And get this—Rose isn’t just any old side character in this royal soap opera. Oh no, she’s got her own backstory! Turns out, she’s not just a player; she’s an “old friend of the royals” and the spouse of “a close buddy of William’s.” Drumroll, please, for Rose’s husband, David Rocksavage. “Rocksavage? Really?” Colbert quipped. “Sounds less like a lord of the manor and more like a Bedrock rockstar! Yabba-dabba-doo!”
Just another day in the kingdom of gossip, where even the noblest of names can’t escape the gravitational pull of scandal. Keep calm and carry on, but don’t forget to grab your popcorn because this royal drama is far from over!
