While Kate may have been all

at Wimbledon with sister-in-law
Meghan Markle, just one day
later it was a rather different
story between the duchess and
husband Prince William.
The couple appeared tense as
they made a joint appearance to
watch the men’s singles final.
It’s been a difficult time for
Kate and William, following
allegations of the duke’s infidelity
with former model Rose Hanbury,
a once close friend of the royal
couple. Both the Cambridges,
along with Rose and her
husband David Rocksavage,
have denied the claims.

“So happy for your union. Love
is amazing. It’s wonderful,” he
told the duchess. “Don’t ever take

in today’s climate, I just wanted
to tell you it’s so significant for
so many of us. Seriously.”
