Rose Hanbury appears to be taking the situation very seriously at the moment. Many have been persuaded for years that Hanbury and Prince William are allegedly involved in a relationship. And since Kate Middleton is not attending public events or carrying out her royal responsibilities, the rumors have just multiplied. But Hanbury appears to be officially sick of this conspiracy now that the rumors are making the rounds in the mainstream media.
According to information obtained by Business Insider, the outlet contacted all parties involved and dug deep into the rumors. Although Hanbury has broken her years-long silence to finally clear up the matter, Kensington Palace has “declined to comment” on the alleged affair rumors.

Also, kindly note that aside from removed tweets and rumors, there has been no concrete or tangible evidence of the affair.

Exclusive: Wonderhood Studios, the production and advertising company launched by former Channel 4 CEO David Abraham, is cooking up its first commission – a BBC format featuring Michelin star chef Heston Blumenthal.
This comes a year after Abraham, who also used to run U.S. cable network TLC, set up the company.
Eat The Years will see The Times’ food critic and television presenter Giles Coren challenge Blumenthal, who has presented a slew of cooking shows for Channel 4 including How To Cook Like Heston and Heston’s Fantastical Food, to re-create the 2001 tasting menu from the latter’s revered The Fat Duck in Maidenhead outside of London. The documentary will feature a range of chefs that have worked with Blumenthal as well as front of house staff, food experts and celebrity guests for a one-off event.
The format has the potential to return with different chefs and restaurants.

Alexander Armstrong and Giles Coren have been announced as the hosts of 12 Drinks of Christmas.
The comedian and restaurant critic, who are brothers-in-law, will put various types of booze to the test in the hour-long BBC Two show to create their definitive 12-strong Christmas selection pack.
"This year, Xander and I are not just getting blotto at Christmas, we're looking into Why we're getting blotto at Christmas, and how best to do it," said Coren.
"We're seeking answers to the big cultural questions such as 'eggnog or mulled wine, dear?' and asking 'what would Jesus have drunk?'"
Armstrong added: "At last we have the opportunity to nail that most complicated issue that dogs the end of each year: the one that starts with the question 'What are you having?'

It's hard to feel charitable towards Richard Curtis's malaria drama. There was more bite in Simon Cowell's dog's dinner

Drama in aid of a worthy cause is not always more a pleasure than a duty, and Richard Curtis's feature-length Mary and Martha – an early curtain-raiser for Red Nose Day – was no exception. If its aim was to draw attention to the thousands of African children who die needlessly each year from malaria, all I can say is, it felt like it. I hope that doesn't sound too uncharitable. But I would have been as happy with a decent documentary as with this glossy weepie about two mums – one American, one English – having the bad luck to have a beloved son bitten to death by a mosquito in Mozambique and then...

Joanna Lumley, Gordon Ramsay and Danny Baker are among those paying tribute to the film-maker turned restaurant critic, who has died aged 77
Tributes to Michael Winner, the film director turned restaurant critic, have poured in as news broke of his death, aged 77, from liver failure.
Speaking to the Guardian, the actor Joanna Lumley, who starred in Winner's final film, Parting Shots (1999), remembered his gift for inspiring those around him. "He was a truly loyal man, generous and funny and I loved him dearly. People just liked him. When he wasn't being a monster he was adorable. He was a real monstre sacré – though really more of the sacré than the monster."
Winner, who found early notoriety helming the Death Wish movie series, before moving into tamer film territory, and then taking a turn into restaurant reviewing, met Lumley while they were both shooting a television show with Robert Carrier in the mid-70s.

The exclusion of women from the corridors of power concerns me more than James Bond's sexual antics
We live in confusing times. Lovable children's TV presenters turn out not to be so lovable after all and Jim'll Fix It badges are so reviled they're currently commanding upwards of £200 on eBay. (Don't ask me how I know that. I was just... browsing.)
And now there's Bond. He's a spy. You may have heard of him. His latest outing, Skyfall, has smashed all previous Bond records and been widely praised as a more psychologically complex Bond than we've seen before (in a nutshell: he has Mummy issues).
So rave reviews all around, until Thursday, when Times columnist Giles Coren took to Twitter to lambast it for its misogyny and linked it to a column on the subject that the Times had declined to publish and which he had instead posted on his wife's blog.

Giles Coren is no stranger to a furious rant – there's a "best of" selection here, in case you're playing catch-up – but in the latest incident, the Times writer decided instead of getting mad, he would got even. Coren wrote a column about the latest James Bond film for the Times, only to be told apparently that the paper had too much Bond, could he write something else? So he did. But he liked his Bond piece so much that he found another outlet for it – the recipe blog written by his wife, journalist Esther Walker (Nb contains spoilers). It looks a bit incongruous among the tips on how to make whoopie pies (what?) and surrendering onions ("a slow, but pleasing task") but has gone down a treat with visitors to the site. Plus, unusually for a Coren column, you don't have to pay to read it. Coren headlines his review,...

"Wonky cock documentary" is AA Gill's term for Channel 4 shows like Embarrassing Bodies, Monkey discovered during the Sunday Times TV critic's interview with BBC's Storyville editor Nick Fraser at the Sheffield Doc/Fest. But when media journalist (and Guardian contributor) Kate Bulkley tried to defend the broadcaster for what she believed was legitimate public service broadcasting he proved a more-than-succinct debater. "Fuck off," was his only response. Monkey wasn't quite sure how Bulkley felt about this. Or indeed how this tallied with Gill's later assertion that television "at the moment is in the process of being very abusive to its audience. It used to be quizshows where people were respectable and say thank you and give them a cuddly toy. Now it's much more abusive." Unlike, say ... conference sessions chaired by Gill.

Compiling a list of Britain's top 10 classic sitcoms isn.t as easy as it sounds. We all broadly agree on recent shows that are great examples of British comedy, but when it comes to casting our minds further back it can be hard to tell if some shows are still loved because they remind us of our childhoods, or whether they actually stand up as credible comedy.
The 70s sitcom, The Good Life, is celebrated by Giles Coren and Sue Perkins in a new documentary this Monday--35 years after it first aired--and it's got us thinking: what other golden oldies deserve similar reminiscence?

Observing Giles Coren and Sue Perkins as they trial self-sufficiency in the back garden of a suburban semi (9pm, BBC1) is a bit like watching mountain goats trying to infiltrate high society. They.re meticulously incompetent and thoroughly unqualified. But that.s sort of the point, and the duo.s new series (Giles and Sue Live the Good Life) is a home-brewed barrel of larks. After chortling through episode one, you might even find yourself on YouTube searching for clips of the decades-old sitcom that inspired this nostalgic TV folly.

Comedians are cast as Observer restaurant writers in Michael Winterbottom's TV sitcom probing the world of foodies
Michael Winterbottom, the British film director who made Welcome to Sarajevo and 24 Hour Party People – and was criticised for his controversial 9 Songs and this summer's The Killer Inside Me – has turned to English food for his next project.
The award-winning director is to bring an improvised sitcom to BBC2 in September purporting to tell the story of the working life of the Observer's restaurant critic, played by the comedian Steve Coogan. Called The Trip, the series was filmed in the Lake District, Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales over four weeks earlier this year. Coogan plays alongside his friend Rob Brydon as "loose versions of themselves" visiting a selection of top restaurants and researching a series of reviews for the Observer.
The actors first appeared together playing themselves in a similar double act in Winterbottom's 2005 film,...

"Great LezBritian" is a fortnightly stroll through the very best of British lesbo-centric entertainment and culture. Plus there will be some jolly good interviews with the top ladies who are waving the flag for gay UK.
A couple of columns ago we wrote about the British women we wish were gay, which gave rise to much debate and informed us that our readers lust after and loathe Cheryl Cole in equal amounts. We decided that in this column we’d like to celebrate the British ladies we’re glad actually are gay or bisexual, which has been an unexpectedly tricky task.
Once again we sent out a Tweet asking you to suggest your favourite Britbians, and as the land that proffered Skins, Tipping the Velvet and Bad Girls, we were certain that Britain would have so many options that we’d be tossing second tier choices out of the list...

The BBC comedy chat show "Friday Night With Jonathan Ross" will feature funnyman Jack Black and the newly reformed boy-band Take That who will stop by to chat with Ross.
