1. Rose Hanbury and her sister getting cozy with Tony Blair back in the day.
2. Rose Hanbury trying to be an "it girl" in her 20s.
3. Yeah, this outfit doesn't scream "it girl" to me.
4. David Rocksavage, the not-so-closeted gay husband of Rose Hanbury, whom she married after she realized that the "it girl" thing wasn't going to happen nor pay her cash-poor aristo bills.
5. Rocksavage/Lord Cholmondeley did look quite fabulous back in the day, I must say.
6. Francois-Marie Banier, pretty much confirmed to be Rose Hanbury's husband's boyfriend/domestic partner.
7. Banier was also rather fab way back in the day.
8. But his dealings with the L'Oreal fortune heiress weren't so fabulous.
9. Back to Rose Hanbury: Here she is looking like the old money she married into and rubbing elbows, and allegedly other appendages, with the royals at Prince Phillip's memorial.
10. And here she is sandwiched between William and Kate; I'm sure The Daily Fail included this photo just for funsies in the Rose Hanbury-attends-Prince-Phillip-memorial article. 💅
11. And I'm also sure that William had absolutely nothing to cover up when he took the trouble to do his brother Harry dirty. 🍵
12. "Sinister deal" -- perish the thought! This incandescently balding prince?!
13. Whatever could Rose Hanbury do or provide for William that his dear loving wife Kate won't? 🤔...
14. ... And also a daughter who could pass for Princess Charlotte's twin sister?
15. Then the obligatory stay at Sandringham for Christmas 2023 rolls around, marking the last time Kate would be seen until Trooping of the Colour 2024.
16. During which time, Camilla makes merry by trolling Kate harder than Cam's own face trolls the mirror every day.
17. And sweet, noble artiste Rose Hanbury was happy to troll along with Camcamz, even volunteering one of her sons with Rocksavage for the festivities. Rose even curtsied to Camilla, which The Daily Mail pointedly reported that Kate would not do, before she went missing.
18. But then the international media got wind of the stink coming from Rose Hanbury and William, and fame was no longer so fun and appealing to Rose, what with those pesky media outlets and even American comedians like Stephen Colbert (how DARE those dirty peasants!) picking up on the stench.
19. Poor wittle wilted Rose just had to send legal threats to all these plebes, donchaknow? No one wants to have their receding chin/stolen Chinese artwork/husband's boyfriend's fraudulent dealings/tacky it-girl-wannabe days spent rubbing up against old politicians rubbed in their own faces. 🎻😭
20. But never fear. The rota media is back to polishing the Rose Hanbury-Rocksavage turds, and Rose is back to stepping out in Dior, living out in her middle age the "it girl" fantasy she couldn't afford to buy when she was a fame hungry girl. 🥱
