Royal feuds have been all over the tabloids lately.

There’s the now-famous falling out between Will, Kate, Harry and Meghan which looks like it might be on its way to a resolution.

Then there’s Meghan versus the palace staff.

The latest involves Kate and Will’s ex-girlfriend, former model Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.

It’s pronounced ‘Chumley’, apparently.

Here’s The Daily Beast with more on the weirdest feud of the year so far:

[Kate and Rose] have had a monster falling out, which has led to Kate telling William that she needed to be “phased out” of their aristocratic social set in Norfolk, known colloquially as the Turnip Toffs due to their vast holdings of arable farmland.

The Cholmondeleys [welcoming Kate and Will below] live under four miles from William and Kate’s country abode of Anmer Hall, and have been closely connected to the royals for generations.

Her husband the Marquess, also known as film director David Rocksavage, inherited an estate worth over £100m and the title of Lord Great Chamberlain, in which guise he plays a symbolic role at the opening of Parliament.

They have twin boys, Alexander, Earl of Rocksavage, and Oliver, Lord Cholmondeley (who have previously been playmates of Prince George), and a daughter, Lady Iris.

Here’s the thing, though – nobody seems to be able to explain exactly why the falling out happened.

Even the writer who first set the cat among the pigeons, Richard Eden, was remarkably coy in a Daily Mail diary item published last week, in which he said that sources were telling him Kate “seems to see Rose as a rival,” for the title of “Queen Bee” of the Turnip Toffs.

The Sun went a little further this Saturday, quoting a source saying that it was “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… things are tense between them. No one understands quite how things have come to this…Over the years, Rose and Kate’s lives have been entwined in many ways.”

Look, the Daily Mail isn’t the best source of info, and neither is the Sun. They’re known more for their elaborate and uncomfortable descriptions of “derrieres” than their reputable journalism.

That being said, many outlets are reporting on this feud, so maybe it has legs.

I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more about it all as the weeks roll by.
