Here's How Much Rose Hanbury Is Really Worth

Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, is reportedly one of Kate Middleton's closest friends. Hello! magazine reported that their friendship dates all the way back to 2011, when Hanbury and her husband, Marquess David Cholmondeley, were guests at the royal wedding. The two ladies subsequently hosted a gala dinner at Hanbury's luxurious rural home in Norfolk in 2016. The following year, the Marchioness sat next to Prince Harry at a state dinner in Buckingham palace. She also attended a banquet hosted by the Queen for President Trump in 2019.

Hanbury has had a fascinating rise to fame, having gotten married and pregnant in quick succession back in 2009. Hanbury gave birth to their twin sons, Alexander, Earl of Rocksavage, and Oliver, Lord Cholmondeley, in 2009. Their daughter, Lady Iris, was born in 2016. 

The former model also briefly worked in Parliament as a researcher for Conservative MP Michael Gove. However, her lavish lifestyle seemingly stems from her title as Marchioness.

According to Hello! Hanbury's husband, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, inherited an estate worth approximately £112 million (close to $126 million) back in 1990. Town and Country magazine advises Houghton Hall itself was built in the 1700s for the first Prime Minister of Britain and is located just a few short miles from where Kate Middleton and Prince William reside.

She may be living in the lap of luxury, but Hanbury herself is worth considerably less than her husband, somewhere between $1 to $5 million, as per Trend Celebs Now. (Still, not too shabby.) Hanbury's royal connections are bonafide, however, since her grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Longman (née Lambart), was a bridesmaid in Queen Elizabeth II's nuptials to Prince Philip.
