Amid Rose Hanbury's legal notice on William's affair joke; Kate Middleton’s cancer fight branded as a ‘soap opera'

As Rose Hanbury finally responded to Stephen Colbert’s Prince William affair joke with a legal notice, anti-monarchy advocate brands news surrounding Kate ‘a soap opera’ just days after cancer announcement. According to reports published in International The News, the author of ‘Abolish the Monarchy’ also ‘joked’ the Royal Family ‘really are in trouble’ in response to a report about Prince Edward stepping up to help the slimmed-down monarchy.

The group is expected to campaign against the family at the Royal Maundy Service in Worcester Cathedral that the Queen is leading. So, anything happening in the British Royal family is now officially entertainment news. Amid all the Royal British family circus, Vanity Fair report says that Rose Hanbury has sent a legal notice to late-night host Stephen Colbert after he made on-air quips earlier this month about a rumored affair between Hanbury and Prince William, linking it to the widespread speculation around the whereabouts of William’s wife, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.

Republic CEO Graham Smith has launched a series of new attacks on the monarchy while King Charles and the Princess of Wales both are battling with cancer. The report further stated, Smith, who has campaigned against the monarchy for over a decade, reposted the duchess’ message of support and wrote: ‘This is soap opera, not news.’

Rose Hanbury responds with a legal notice on William’s affair joke

According to a report published in Glamour, in a new statement shared by Vanity Fair on March 22, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley’s lawyers reiterated that stance, calling out Colbert’s late-night show specifically. “The rumor appears to have entered into the mainstream media recently as a result of another joke made about it on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” Hanbury’s lawyers said. “We have written on our client’s behalf to CBS and various other reputable media organizations to confirm that the allegation is false.”

Monarchy more like a parasite

Last year during King’s coronation, Firstpost did a story on Charles’ coronation cost. The story mentioned how like all other monarchies, it has been proved that the British family is like a parasite to their own country. The Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla promises to be a display of pomp and pageantry that will celebrate the start of the new monarch’s reign. But when Britain is languishing and the economic condition is in doldrums it is highly insensitive on the part of Charles to have a Coronation.

Earlier this month, activists also protested outside Westminster Abbey at the annual Commonwealth Day Service holding signs saying, “Not My King.” According to many Kate’s illness is no more a news, but more of ‘soap opera’.
