Rose Hanbury was born in 1984 to Timothy and Emma Hanbury in Essex, England. Her mother, Lady Elizabeth Longman, was close friends with Queen Elizabeth II until her passing in 2016.
After school, Rose pursued modeling and worked as a researcher for a member of parliament. She married David Cholmondeley, the 7th Marquis of Cholmondeley, in 2009, joining one of Britain’s distinguished aristocratic families.
The couple resides in Houghton Hall in Norfolk, near the Sandringham estate where the royals spend Christmas. Rose and her husband have three children: twin boys and a daughter.
