Rose Hanbury and her husband, David Rocksavage, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, were thrust into the spotlight in 2019 after the mother of three was the subject of outlandish rumours about an affair with Prince William.

Now, their marriage has come under scrutiny once again, as eagle-eyed royal watchers noticed that David doesn’t wear a wedding ring.
The 60-year-old lord has been pictured several times over the years without a wedding band, making some fans question if all is well in their marriage.
But, if their Instagram page is anything to go by, the couple are happier than ever. Rose, 37, regularly shares family snaps on the grounds of their Houghton Hall home.
It’s unknown why David doesn’t wear a wedding band, but it seems there is a tradition in royal circles for men not to wear a ring, with both Prince William and Prince Charles opting to forgo one.
The speculation comes after cruel rumours surfaced two years ago that William had an affair with Rose in 2018, while his wife, Kate, was pregnant with the couple’s third child, Prince Louis.
“The toxic story, though false, gained a life of its own and caused William, Catherine and Rose to consider taking legal action,” royal expert Andrew Morton previously told New Idea.
According to reports at the time, Kate confronted her husband about the affair, but he simply “laughed it off”. She was also said to have banished Rose from royal circles.
But, according to Morton, Kate actually did what she does best and remained “calm”.
“In the end, the couple simply decided to ignore the chatter,” he explains. “William and Kate came out stronger than ever.”
