Kate Middleton’s “rural rival” Rose Hanbury attended the State Banquet last night – despite rumours of a rift between the pair.
However, royal insiders say Kate has refused, and one source revealed: “It is well known that Kate and Rose have had a terrible falling out. They used to be close but that is not the case any more.”
Rose often attends State Banquets with her Eton-educated husband David Rocksavage, 58, who is the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley and Lord Great Chamberlain, due to his title and position.
