Shortly after their nuptials, Queen Elizabeth III gifted William and Kate Anmer Hall in Norfolk. The property is close to Rose and David’s country estate, which made it easier for the couples to spend time together and for their children to have playdates.
Kate and Rose Had a Falling Out
Despite being friends for years, reports began to circulate that Kate and Rose had a falling out in May 2019.
“It is well known that Kate and Rose have had a terrible falling out. They used to be close but that is not the case any more,” an insider told The Sun at the time. “William wants to play peacemaker so the two couples can remain friends, given they live so close to each other and share many mutual friends.”
The source added that Kate had been clear about not wanting “to see them any more” and asked “William to phase them out, despite their social status.”
