Jason Knauf, who worked at Kensington Palace, for both the Prince and Princess of Wales as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has spoken out publicly in an extraordinary TV interview
A former royal aide who was at the centre of the Meghan Markle bullying allegations has revealed his three-word message for the Sussexes.
Jason Knauf previously worked at Kensington Palace for both Prince Harry and Meghan, as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales as their communications secretary. He later became chief executive of William and Kate’s Royal Foundation and is still considered a close confidant of the Prince of Wales.
In 2021, he hit headlines when it emerged that in 2018, he made a bullying complaint against Meghan – emailing his concerns to William’s then-private secretary, in an apparent attempt to force Buckingham Palace to protect staff. Meghan has always strenuously denied the allegations, with her team branding them a “calculated smear campaign”.
Now, in an interview on Australian TV for 60 Minutes Australia, Mr Knauf said he wishes Harry and Meghan “the absolute best” and added: “We had lots of great times, working on their wedding was an amazing magical experience and I wish them absolutely all the best with their lovely family.”
In 2021, it emerged that several years prior, Mr Knauf sent an email to William’s then-private secretary, Simon Case, saying: “I am very concerned that the Duchess [Meghan] was able to bully two PAs out of the household in the past year. The treatment of X [name removed] was totally unacceptable.
