Why Prince William Affair Rumors Won’t Lay Down and Die
Prince William continues to be dogged by baseless rumors over alleged infidelity, despite the fact that British newspapers have deleted at least 21 articles which either referenced or hinted at unfounded rumors that he conducted an extra-marital affair with his Norfolk “turnip toff” neighbor, Rose Hanbury.
The astonishing extent of the information cull was revealed in a deep dive into the issue by Vulture reporter Ellie Hall, former royal correspondent at BuzzFeed.
William’s office did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast about whether they had been involved in getting the stories killed. However, The Daily Beast has reported on prior efforts by the Palace to stop outlets in the U.K., where Palace press officers have significant influence, from publishing items about the allegations.
