Amidst swirling rumors and conspiracy theories surrounding his wife Kate’s ongoing absence from public duties, Prince William appeared unruffled on Thursday, according to the New York Post.
The Prince of Wales visited a new youth center in West London, WEST Hammersmith, seemingly undeterred by the media frenzy.
William, 41, grinned broadly as he shot hoops with local children, who cheered his basketball prowess. He also spent time with students from Ark White City Primary School and WEST’s Youth Development Group, who had a hand in planning the new facilities.
The royal outing comes ahead of a scheduled memorial event honoring his late mother, Princess Diana. Yet William’s demeanor exuded a business-as-usual approach, defying rampant speculation about his wife’s condition and an alleged affair.
Kate Middleton has not been seen publicly since undergoing abdominal surgery in January, fueling intense scrutiny and baseless theories about her wellbeing. While online detectives dissect innocuous photos, others like comedian Stephen Colbert have latched onto long-standing rumors of William’s purported infidelity with aristocrat Rose Hanbury.
The Marchioness of Cholmondeley, a societal fixture, has long been whispered about as Prince William’s supposed mistress, though no credible evidence supports such claims. The resurrection of these unsubstantiated allegations amidst the drama surrounding Kate’s absence has only added fuel to the gossip wildfire.
As the rumor mill churns, Prince William’s steadfast focus on his duties and family life appears unwavering. His public engagements this week exemplify a resolute determination to rise above the noise and carry on with the business of monarchy.Copy
