Rose Hanbury sends Stephen Colbert legal notice re: jokes about Prince William affair


Former comedian and "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert, reportedly received a legal notice by the lawyers of Marchioness of Cholmondeley, Rose Hanbury after he recently tried to be funny about her having an unsubstantiated affair with Prince William.

"The rumor appears to have entered into the mainstream media recently as a result of another joke made about it on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,'" Hanbury's attorneys told In Touch Weekly on Thursday. "We have written on our client’s behalf to CBS and various other reputable media organisations to confirm that the allegation is false."

The unfunny joke was said on March 12 "The Late Show." Colbert joked at Hanbury's expense as he speculated about Kate Middleton.

"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," Colbert told his audience. "So, I think we all know who the alleged other woman. Say it with me –– the Marchioness of Cholmondeley –– what a beautiful name!"


The former comedian mentioned how the rumors first bubbled up in 2019. "According to tabloids back then, when Kate supposedly confronted him about it, he laughed it off saying 'there was nothing to it.' Aha! Always a good response when your wife accuses you of cheating. ‘Ha ha, imagine me having an affair!' It is to laugh," using a British accent.

Following weeks of rumors about Kate's absence from the public after abdominal surgery, the Princess of Wales, 42, revealed on Friday that she had been diagnosed with cancer.

"I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery," Kate said in the video recorded Wednesday. "It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful." 

"The Princess will return to official duties when she is cleared to do so by her medical team," a Kensington Palace spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "She is in good spirits and is focused on making a full recovery."

The Princess of Wales explained that after her abdominal surgery, it was initially believed her condition was "non-cancerous." However, further testing showed "cancer had been present," and she was advised to start chemotherapy by her medical team.

So let's see what comes of this situation. Thank goodness he isn't Trump.
