A spokesperson for the Guardian said, “These changes were made after internal editorial consideration and not following external outreach.”

How did the Royal family and Rose Hanbury react to the allegations of the affair?
The royal family’s and the Marchioness of Cholmondeley’s attorneys vehemently refuted any reports of an alleged affair between William and Rose, but they did not make any specific statements on the record regarding the omission or removal of information from the published articles.
