Still, whenever Rose appears alongside the royals, her presence sets tongues wagging.
Here are a couple of times her appearance made heads turn.
A few pictures were taken that showed William and Catherine mingling with Rose at the event.

The photographs aren’t very telling, to be quite honest.
Was William perhaps keeping his distance on purpose to keep Catherine from noticing a spark between him and Rose?
Yeah, we might be reading way too much into this.

Many saw this as proof that there was strife between the two women.
Honestly, if she’d stayed at home, the gossip might have been even worse.
Then again, she still appears happily married, so all the hoopla was probably much ado about nothing.

Why was her appearance so significant?
But wait, it gets better.
As to which it is, we can’t say for sure.

As heartbreaking as the whole day was, people couldn’t help but notice Rose’s presence.
Foreign royals were also present at the service, butPrince Harry and Meghan Marklewere notably absent.
Her family’s connection to the royal family also goes way back.

That didn’t keep people from talking, however.
Every eye was on Rose and Princess Catherine during the ceremony, and insiders revealed that things were tense.
One source told Life & Style magazine that the tension was palpable.

“Kate couldn’t even look Rose in the eye.
Rose was her BFF, and she almost tore Kate and William’s marriage apart,” they added.
Whether or not these rumors are true is not clear.
