Hanbury made international headlines in 2005 when she posed for a photo while wearing a pink bikini with her sister Marina…and the Prime Minister of the time, Tony Blair. Hanbury and her husband were close enough to the Cambridges to have been guests at their 2011 wedding. The couple’s twin boys, Alexander, Earl of Rocksavage and Oliver, Lord Cholmondeley, are, according to reports, friends with five-year-old Prince George. While the tabloids are having a field day with the unsubstantiated rumours about the Duchess of Cambridge and Rose Hanbury’s ‘falling out,’ the Daily Mail has reported that the whispers are entirely false. According to columnist Richard Kay, both women “have considered legal action but, because none of the reports have been able to offer any evidence about what the so-called dispute is about, they have chosen to ignore it”.
