Aliba Bellingham denies romantic involvement with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

Aliba Bellingham has denied rumors that she is in a romantic relationship with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, describing their connection as being just acquaintances. Ms. Bellingham, who has royal connections through her godmother, the late Frances Shand Kydd, addressed the speculation following reports of her spending time with the former prince at his new residence, Marsh Farm, in Norfolk.

Ms. Bellingham stated that she and Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor occasionally hang out to discuss shared interests such as horses and dogs. She attributed the origin of the rumors to an American journalist who misinterpreted a tea meeting.

Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor relocated to Norfolk after relinquishing his lease on Royal Lodge in Windsor following the loss of his royal titles.
