Kate Middleton guarding private life 'carefully' amid disturbing rumours about William

Kate Middleton is said to be guarding her private life more carefully than ever as troubling rumours about Prince William continue to resurface.

According to reports, the Princess of Wale is still dealing with gossip linking to Prince of Wales and Rose Hanbury’s alleged affair.

A recent report has claimed that the speculations become more uncomfortable for the future Queen after quiet chatter began in royal circles regarding Rose’s fashion choices resembling that of Kate’s.

A source told OK! Magazine that the continued speculations about their alleged affair has taken an emotional toll on Kate.

"Those who move in royal circles have increasingly remarked on how closely Rose's style appears to mirror Kate's, right down to similar designers and overall shapes," the source said.

They continued, "It has not gone unnoticed and has become a subject of quiet chatter, something Kate finds deeply unsettling."

"Kate has always guarded her private life carefully, and she finds it deeply frustrating that these rumors continue to resurface.

"At this stage, her priority is protecting herself emotionally and ensuring she is not repeatedly exposed to the same distress."

Before concluding, another source said that while Princess of Wales “presents a composed and forward-looking image in public, privately she has not forgotten what she went through.”

“The experience remains very present for her, even if she chooses not to acknowledge it outwardly."
