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 publicly about the bullying claims surrounding the Duchess of Sussex
A former royal aide at the centre of the Meghan Markle bullying allegations has finally broken his silence.
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 hit headlines when it emerged he made a bullying complaint against Meghan – emailing his concerns to Prince 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”.
And now in an interview on Australian TV, Mr Knauf has spoken about the media storm for the first time after it emerged he had raised concerns. Speaking on 60 Minutes Australia, he explained how he wouldn’t “change anything”.
He explained: “I think it, it’s tough, but it’s probably quite good. You know someone who has been helping other people through how to deal with the public eye. You probably had to take your own medicine sometimes.
“You can’t choose just to take the fun stuff in any job. And that applies to the Prince and Princess [of Wales] as well as everyone else working for them. So I wouldn’t change anything.” When asked if he had any regrets from his time in the role, he replied: “No, it’s not what I would’ve sought, but you know, at the end of the day, you get to do an amazing job. You’ve got to take everything that comes with it.”
