Stephen Colbert Under Fire for Royal Affair Joke Involving Kate Middleton

Late-night host Stephen Colbert faces backlash for joking about Kate Middleton’s disappearance, hinting at a rumored affair between Prince William and the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, Rose Hanbury.

Lawyers for Hanbury issued a cease-and-desist letter to Colbert, demanding he refrain from linking their client to William.

Colbert’s remarks on “The Late Show” sparked controversy, with critics condemning his insinuations.

Despite Hanbury’s denial of any involvement with William, speculation persists amid Middleton’s recent public appearances and acknowledgment of undergoing chemotherapy for early-stage cancer. Colbert’s jests have reignited scrutiny over the royal couple’s personal affairs, overshadowing Middleton’s health concerns.
