Reports of Prince William cheating on Kate Middleton go viral

Reports claiming that Britian's Prince William cheated on Kate Middleton with her friend have gone viral.

As per the reports, the Duke of Cambridge cheated on Middleton while she was pregnant with their third child. 

In Touch magazine which was the first mainstream outlet to publish the rumour claimed that Prince William may have had an affair with their neighbour and former model Rose Hanbury, also known as the Marchioness of Cholmondeley. 

The magazine quoted a source saying that after hearing the rumors herself, Kate “immediately confronted” William, who “just laughed it off saying there was nothing to it.” However, Kate told William to stop socialising with the Cholmondeleys.

In Touch said there is no question of the couple splitting but says the scandal “has rocked the palace and their marriage.”

Daily Mail and The Sun also published reports claiming that Middleton had a fall-out with her friend and told Prince William to "phase her out", however, both the publications did not mention an affair or the reason for the falling out.

Kensington Palace did not comment on the In Touch report to The Daily Beast, but courtiers said the story “was totally wrong and false”. 

The Daily Beast further reported that at least one British publication has been served with legal warnings after publishing details of the rumours.
