Royal Scandal: Stephen Colbert Caught in the Middle of Feud Between Prince William and Prince Harry

Rumors and drama are swirling in the royal family, and late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert has found himself in the middle of it all. Royal fans were shocked when Colbert seemed to take a side in the ongoing feud between Prince William and Prince Harry, by repeating false rumors about William’s alleged affair with socialite Hanbury.

It all started when Kate Middleton, William’s wife, disappeared from the public eye after undergoing abdominal surgery in January 2024. Colbert seized the opportunity to stir up controversy by insinuating that Middleton’s absence was related to her husband’s infidelity.

During a March 2024 monologue, Colbert sneered, “The kingdom has been all a flutter by the seeming disappearance of Kate Middleton. Well, now, internet sleuths are guessing that Kate’s absence may be related to her husband and the future King of England, William, having an affair.”

Feigning sympathy, Colbert continued, “Oh no, my heart goes out to poor Kate.” He then referenced a debunked 2019 report about William’s alleged affair, mocking the prince’s response to the accusations.

However, the situation took a dark turn when Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis less than two weeks later. Despite the gravity of the situation, Colbert did not apologize for his comments and instead offered a generic well-wish for Middleton’s recovery.

Colbert’s involvement in the royal scandal has sparked outrage among fans and critics alike. Many have accused him of spreading false information and adding fuel to the fire of the already strained relationship between the royal brothers.

As the drama continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Colbert will navigate the fallout from his controversial statements. One thing is for sure – the royal family will not soon forget the day they were “Markled” by Stephen Colbert.
