Tony Blair & Rose Hanbury are close ‘family friends’ and even had holidays together, so maybe it’s more a hush reward than a distractio. The Marchioness of Cholmondeley was among the thousands of mourners in attendance at the Queen’s funeral, arriving at Westminster Abbey with her husband David Cholmondeley on September 19. Dressed in black and looking downcast, Rose didn’t stand out from the crowd but her presence at the solemn ceremony with the royals certainly raised a few eyebrows. A close personal friend and Norfolk neighbour to the Prince and Princess of Wales, Rose was also present at the Service Of Thanksgiving for the Duke Of Edinburgh in March 2022, quelling rumours of a long-lasting rift over an alleged affair with William.
