In October 2018, while working for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as their communications secretary, Mr Knauf 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.
Describing a phone call with William about Kate’s diagnosis, which was made public in March last year, Mr Knauf said: “It was awful, absolutely awful.
Discussing William’s relationship with Harry, Mr Knauf said: “It’s very difficult to have this stuff play out in the public eye, but he’s chosen to keep his thoughts on it private, and I think all of us who know him really have to respect that we should do the same.
Jason Knauf was formerly chief executive of William and Kate’s Royal Foundation, stepping down at the end of 2021, and also previously worked for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Mr Knauf said what he used to talk about the “most” in the past with William was “how he and the princess were going to prepare their children for life in the public eye”.
