So much for that dignified silence or zero retaliation policy from King Charles III and the rest of Buckingham Palace.
The fed-up King, who has been attacked in the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan and will be dragged in Prince Harry‘s tell-all book, Spare, has decided to fight back in what many royal observers say is a rather nasty way.
It has been confirmed that His Majesty has decided to reward the man who made Meghan Markle‘s life very complicated.
King Charles will use the New Year’s Honor to recognize Jason Knauf. Mr. Knauf, a former Buckingham Palace aide, worked as the joint head of communications for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.
He also held the post of PR chief for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The Texas native became a household name in the fall of 2018 after his emails accusing Meghan Markle of being a serial bully leaked to the media.
For his loyalty and dedication to the British monarchy, Knauf will be at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle on January 1st, 2023, where he will be bestowed the Royal Victorian Order (RVO)
After being made a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (RVO), Knauf will receive a gong and be authorized to put the letters LVO after his name.
The American chief executive worked with the Royal Family for more than seven years. He helped Prince William launch his Earthshot environmental awards and Middleton’s Heads Together mental health initiative.
Knauf said in a statement last night that he was honored to work with Prince William and Kate Middleton and added: “Working for the Prince and Princess of Wales was the honor of a lifetime. Receiving this recognition means more to me than I can say. I am incredibly grateful.”
Prince Harry and Markle will certainly see this move from King Charles and Prince William as a major attack on their reputation and dignity.
In October 2018, Jason Knauf sent a series of emails to Buckingham Palace detailing Markle’s bullying.
In one message, he claimed: “I am very concerned that the Duchess was able to bully two PAs out of the household in the past year. The Duchess seems intent on always having someone in her sights.”
Queen Elizabeth II opened an investigation into the matter, and the findings have not been revealed to the public or to Markle.
The mother of two has always denied the allegations. Many believe that King Charles is holding the results of the investigation close to the vest and will leak them if Prince Harry and Markle go too far with the book, interviews, or other tell-all projects.
Markle made it clear that she dislikes Knauf in the Netflix series because he humiliated her in court by providing evidence during her court battle against The Daily Mail over the publication of a private letter she sent to her father.
Some royal backers are applauding King Charles for this brutal first response to Prince Harry and Markle’s damaging revelations.
Others claim that King Charles is proving Prince Harry and Markle right by getting in the mud with the smear campaign.
Others have bashed Jason Knauf for doing the Royal Family’s dirty work.
