Jason Knauf received the Royal Victorian Order for his years of sleazy keenery

Jason Knauf was a senior royal staffer at Kensington Palace for years. He was the communications guy for KP before Prince Harry even met then-Meghan Markle. Knauf advised the Sussexes and the Cambridges for a time, then when the Sussexes split from KP, Knauf stayed with William and Kate. In those years, Harry and Meghan first considered Knauf an ally and a friend. Then Knauf began working against them – Knauf was clearly doing William and Kate’s dirty work on the Sussexes as early as mid-2018. By the fall of 2018, Knauf was writing letters to Simon Case, claiming that Meghan “bullied” staffers by looking at them. Knauf was also involved with a lot of f–ksh-t with Thomas Markle, the extent of which we probably only know a fraction of. In recent years, Knauf was pushed out of the main employ of KP and the Royal Foundation, but he’s still a trustee for Earthshot and, clearly, he’s still a sort of informal advisor/henchman for William. Knauf also turned over evidence against Meghan in her lawsuit against the Mail – meaning, Knauf gave evidence to HELP the Daily Mail, which was relitigated once again in Netflix’s Harry & Meghan. Well, good news for Jason Knauf: he’s being given a big honor by the Windsors.

A former royal aide who raised complaints of bullying against the Duchess of Sussex from staff has been recognised for his service to the Crown in the New Year Honours. Jason Knauf has been made a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (RVO) after working for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and later the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Honours within the RVO are the King’s gift and are bestowed independently of Downing Street to people who have served the monarch or the Royal family in a personal way.

In 2018, while working for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as their communications secretary, he emailed his concerns about Meghan to William’s then-private secretary, in an apparent attempt to force Buckingham Palace to protect staff. The Duchess’s legal team have strenuously denied the allegation.

In the Sussexes’ recent Netflix documentary series, Meghan’s lawyer claimed Mr Knauf, who subsequently worked as the chief executive of William and Kate’s Royal Foundation before leaving the royal household at the end of 2021, could not have given evidence in the Duchess’s copyright lawsuit against a newspaper publisher “without the authority of his bosses”.

During his time at the Royal Foundation, Mr Knauf oversaw the launch of the Foundation’s Earthshot Prize – William’s ambitious £50 million environmental prize, now an independent charity, which recognises solutions, ideas and technologies that “repair the planet”.

[From The Telegraph]

“… After working for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and later the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge….” Again, no. Knauf worked for William, Harry and Kate for several years. Then Harry married Meghan in 2018, and Knauf only worked “for” Meghan for less than a year. Whenever royal reporters claim that they’ve heard [insert-negative-story] “from Sussex staffers,” they mean Jason Knauf. There has been a very conscious effort to soften Knauf’s smear work on behalf of William and Kate by blatantly lying about who he works for and what he’s actually done. Make no mistake: this honor is specifically for Knauf’s work with William and Kate. Knauf was one of the Tory stiffs who put together Earthshot so William would have at least one big, keen project. Knauf was the one orchestrating the Cambridges’ campaigns against Harry and Meghan. Knauf is such a sleazeball. It’s disgusting that he’s getting this honor.

    I felt physically sick when this news came out a couple of days ago.
    This is evidence of Willy trying to use the award of this honour to secure Knauf’s silence and gag him from ever saying anything. This is further retaliation from the jealous first in line to throne.
    Like all their nonsense it is likely to backfire.

    • First comment says:

      This 👆👆👆👆. They don’t even keep any kind of pretense any more. They’re despicable.

      • Mtl.Ex.Pat says:

        Yep between this and Camilla’s media lunch they’re really telling on themselves…

    • Seaflower says:

      +1. Will and Khate aren’t even trying to be subtle.

    • ThatsNotOkay says:

      It’s proof positive that Knauf has always been operating under Williams’s orders and with his blessing. Knauf is a stooge, a stoolie, and an ass-kisser. And is getting rewarded for it. The good news is, he will also get his comeuppance.

      • Couch potato says:

        It’s also proof that the king is OK with what Knauf has done to the king’s daughter in law. It’s another sickening stab in the back. A clear “happy new year” message from king tampax.

      • AnnaKist says:

        I hope Meghan‘s lawyers tear him apart in court. The statement he made about Meghan bullying others… If he actually witnessed such an event, then he had a duty to report it at the time. Clearly, he did not. If he made a statement that someone else told him they had been, oh witnessed someone being bullied, that makes his statement hearsay. Anyone could tell him anything. Or no one told him anything, which means he is a liar. What scum. I have said all along that William and Kate were and still are jealous of Harry and Meghan, and I standby that. Even though H and M made a new life in the US, they are still consumed with jealousy. I’ll bet they would love a life without all the restrictions, all the rituals, all the pressure to be on your best behaviour (ha!), be madly in love, interesting and be involved in interesting projects. I bet Kate would love for William to show a bit of spontaneity and just grab her in a hug and give her a kiss. But nooooooo, they’re Royal. Then again I’m starting to wonder about those two. They never look happy together

    • Mrs.Krabapple says:

      Definitely payment for his defaming Meghan, but possibly also payment to keep quiet about where 12million pounds of Earthsh*t money went.

  2. Saba says:

    Every time I see a photo of Jason Knauf I mistake him for Don Jr. Same slimy self-absorbed vibe.

    • SAS says:

      Omg YES!! That is 100% why I feel so skeeved out at his image every time.

      First Camilla’s lunch with Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson and now this, these people just constantly tell us who they are and what they’re about.

    • Lolo86lf says:

      Wow you’re right! He does look Donal Trump Jr. sans the cocaine addiction. They both the same evil spirit though.

    • Seaflower says:

      +1

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      I was going to say the same thing about his resemblance to Trump junior. Instead, I’ll just point out that this confirms how corrupt the so-called “honors” system in Britain is. There are lists going around the internet of famous British folks who have turned down or returned honors. They should be applauded. Abolish the monarchy and the corrupt honors system!

    • CooCoo Catchoo says:

      TOTALLY.

    • s808 says:

      YES. every time I see either of them, I get the sudden need to shower. both are sleezy men.

    • Aeren says:

      Don Jr. mixed with cousin Greg.

    • TheVolvesSeidr says:

      Glad I checked comments before posting b/c this is what I came here to say. He is very similar looking to the fail son.

    • Nicki says:

      omg YES. Came here to comment on how JK looks just like a weasle but you nailed it. Total Don Jr. vibes. Ew.

      • DK says:

        I came here to say he looks like some wannabe vampire, but yes, it’s just that Don Jr. vibe. Absolutely nailed it.

    • Anastasia says:

      I looked quick, saw Don Jr, and transposed the name to Jared Kushner in my head, so I was HELLA confused as to HOW he was getting a British “honor.”

    • JanetDR says:

      @Anastasia, Same!

  3. Lia says:

    These people are worse than the devil himself

  4. Noki says:

    Gross! William is an ass but I honestly think at this point he is simply scared of Knauf. The guy must have a vault full of his secrets, I am sure he would rather be rid of the guy by now but has no way to do so. And since he is such a slime I wouldn’t put it past Jason to occassionally and subtly remind William all he knows.

    • Lux says:

      Not only does he know too much, he’s been a loyal royal dog to the bone this whole time. This is akin to Kate’s “Behaving like a Victorian by turning a blind eye to William’s affairs” order of dishonor or whatever BS TQ bestowed upon her; more pointedly, this is the BRF lifting a middle finger to the Sussex’s Netflix reveal while clearly flaunting their dirty hands. It’s the exact same thing as Camilla lunching with Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson: deliberate and public defiance in the face of the most damning accusations, confirming them completely in the process. Haughty, petty and shameless doesn’t even begin to describe it. I hope Harry and Meghan talk until kingdom comes.

    • Taytanish says:

      Personally, I believe that in addition to Knauff knowing too much about William, he is also William’s lover. I honestly believe William is closeted. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay, but the way these people operate is really grotesque; they’d never ever come out even if they are gay. And I think this is the biggest secret Knauf has on William and is the reason he’s being rewarded with this KVO. Just like that Faucett guy and prince Charles.

    • notasugarhere says:

      What, poor Widdle Willy is a victim? F*CK no. Knauf did EVERYTHING he’s done at William’s direction and demand as well as at Kate’s direction and demand. One of William’s many problems is that he’s not afraid of anyone including Knauf. William believes himself to be invincible and infallible, able to send one flunky/tabloid to silence another flunky/tabloid and all is well. Kate has that same entitled, nothing-can-touch-me attitude.

      • Mary says:

        @notasugar, “Knauf did EVERYTHING he’s done at William’s direction and demand as well as at Kate’s direction and demand.”.

        I agree with this but only to a certain extent because I think Knauf and some other current and prior employees at KP (e.g., Case, Tabouti…) have real hate boners of their own for Meghan. To the point where they seem obsessed.

        I am reminded of all the articles saying how many staff members want to be able to speak openly about Meghan and think she should have to testify in court. It’s like they are obsessed with her and want Meghan “punished” somehow. I don’t think William’s involvement wholly explains that.

        Nor does it explain the former KP employee/staffer who drunkenly freaked out and went nuts on some woman in a pub, spouting and shouting about what a b**** Meghan is. The charity worker tweeted about it but then it was removed. I always wondered if it was Knauf that did that. Bat-sh*t crazy behavior like that is not explained away by one simply following orders.

      • notasugarhere says:

        I disagree. IMO W&K gave them full permissions to be as terrible as they could be. See the similar example of Drumpf giving the white nationalist, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic 30 percent of the US population the ‘freedom’ to stop hiding their hate and bring it out in the open. W&K made it ‘okay’ for the staff to do and say ANYTHING they wanted to and about Meghan.

        And if is wasn’t all at their command (which again I think it was)? W&K allowed and enabled all of the staff to be in full-blown racist, misogynistic attack mode against Meghan from day one. If they weren’t fully on-board with it, W&K would have fired all of the office staff and started fresh. They didn’t because all of the Household staff were doing exactly what W&K wanted and told them to do.

    • RoyalBlue says:

      Make no mistake about it, the RVO is awarded at the sole discretion of the Monarch. William is not the monarch. This is all on Charles.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Knauf is W&K’s henchman, not KCIII’s. W&K directed Knauf’s efforts, not Charles. William would have requested that Knauf get it, Charles agreed, but the initial request/demand came from William. Plus W&K directing Knauf’s actions gives Charles plausible deniability, something I’m sure Charles knows and planned.

      • PrincessK says:

        I think Charles is afraid of William.

      • Emily_C says:

        100% it’s all on Charles. Charles is really good at getting other people to do his dirty work. He’s not afraid — he has his own uncontrolled violent temper. He just prefers to pull strings behind the scenes, while Will and Camilla take the front.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Again, Knauf got this honour because W&K wanted him to get it. Charles has his own henchmen to reward. W&K would have told Charles to give Knauf the award, Charles agreed, and gave it. But Charles didn’t come up with it on his own, because that doesn’t give him the plausible deniability he loves to claim.

    • EllenOlenska says:

      I remember when we used to think of him as “Poor Jason” because the Uber lazy FFK and FF never gonna be the Q would screw up every public relation effort in his early days on the job…likely making his resume a joke in the future….

      Guess it worked out okay for him. Wonder if his shiny “Good dog” medal is attached to a yellow post it like Catherine’s “ look the other way and think of England” medal.

  5. Veda says:

    I would love to see Knauf get his comeuppance. This is William signaling how proud he is of bullying Meghan. This is the Palace saying that a lying PoS is worth more than their bi-racial DiL.

  6. SomeChick says:

    I am shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you!

    Love that third photo. Kate looks conniving. William looks like he’s trying not to poop his pants. Jason looks like he thinks he’s out of the frame. Says it all, really.

  7. Amy Bee says:

    I wasn’t surprised by this at all and it’s clear that Charles endorses what Knauf did.

  8. Jais says:

    Disgusting that he’s getting this honor but very on brand for the current Windsors.

  9. Kit says:

    I was shocked too but on brand for de Winsdors….his reputation quiet rightly got a hit in the Sussex documentary for briefing against Megan, this is as said to keep him silent, to not brief against his bosses !

  10. Noor says:

    If Queen Elizabeth is alive she would not have agreed to this award to Jason Knauf.

    • Zapp Brannigan says:

      I wouldn’t be so sure of that, a lot of this went down on her watch and she sat back and did nothing to protect her grandson and his wife. She was able to get stories on Andrew buried or wiped in the media but never acted to stop any attacks on H and M.

      • First comment says:

        Yeah, you’re right @zappbrannigan. We heard Harry saying in the documentary how his grandmother remained silent while his brother went on raving.. she always put her head under the sand…

  11. C-Shell says:

    Welp. This is more proof, if any was needed, that CIII’s instincts are shitty, that Bulliam can make CIII do his bidding, that Knife has the goods on the Wailses and vice versa, and that EVERYTHING HARRY AND MEGHAN HAVE SAID IS TRUE. This is inept and disgusting, Charles. The world JUST SAW on “Harry & Meghan” exactly what JK did to Meghan, saw his pathetic, lying disclaimer and the Sussex’s response, and within days this “honour” is handed over. Jeez, they are abysmal at this!

    • SAS says:

      It’s becoming clearer to me that it’s not bumbling PR at all, that this IS the message they want to portray (exactly the same as Camilla’s cosy lunch with those sewer rats) “here is a public show of our support for all your actions on our behalf”. It’s so blatant! Sickening.

      • SussexWatcher says:

        Yes, Sas! They cannot be fired from their “jobs” so they really don’t care who they piss off or how badly (or infrequently *coughKatecough*) they do their jobs. And as you said, it’s clear that THIS is the reputation they want to put out into the world – this is who they are and they’re PROUD of it!

        Chuck/Cams and Willy/Kate have shown us over and over again that they are selfish, cruel, bullying, liars. And they don’t care who knows it because nothing can/will be done to displace them. CW countries may peel off but the Brits (as a whole) really seem willing to continue to put up with – and pay millions a year for – this vile family. The whole thing, including these honors for Jason Knife, is disgusting.

    • Jaded says:

      @C-Shell: The irony is not lost on me that the announcement of this award comes AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AS THE 60 MINUTES/ITV INTERVIEWS. He’s being rewarded for his slimy, underhanded and deceitful behaviour briefing against Meghan. Wills and Upchuck are as transparent as a pan of water — they continue to keep him in the fold because he’s shown again and again that he will stop at nothing to ruin the Sussexes. I’m glad Harry’s going after his father, brother, and the sick machinery they employ to do their dirty work.

  12. Laura D says:

    Vile people. Sorry that’s all I have to say.

  13. aquarius64 says:

    I think Knauf got spooked when Harry and Meghan”s docuseries detailed his role in attempting to sink Meghan’s lawsuit against the Fail. Especially when it blew up Knauf’s statement Meghan’s lawyers asked for information for the case (which Meghan’s lawyers denied). Note Knauf can’t produce, and has not produced, any correspondence proving Meghan’s lawyers asked for anything from him. (Unlike the edited emails he gave to the court.) Knauf knows he can’t do doctored emails in an American setting; and he probably told the Windsors if they try to throw him under the bus he will take them down with him. Hence the LVO and heavens know what other goodies he got out of them. Knauf owns the BRF especially the Wales. I take it as karma knocking at the doors of BP and KP.

  14. HamsterJam says:

    What? Where are the awards for Jeremy Clarkson and Piers Morgan?

    • SussexWatcher says:

      They’re coming. Give it until next year and I’ll bet we see something. This family is so horrible. Ugh, I can’t even think of a descriptor bad enough! Vile? Disgusting? Abusive? Dangerous? Cruel? All of them fit but none feel strong enough.

      • Beech says:

        What happens with the next generation? What if George outshines Will or Charlotte outshines KKKate or George is a dull boy and and his younger siblings draw larger crowds than George or their father/mother, granfather?

  15. Agreatreckoning says:

    It’s been predicted a number of times here that Knauf would receive some special award for smearing services rendered against Meghan/H&M. I’ll call this one the Royal Viper Order.

    The BM/BRF really like to pretend that Knauf wasn’t handpicked by William in Nov. 2014.
    https://www.musictimes.com/articles/16894/20141122/prince-william-jason-knauf-kate-middleton-prince-harry-press-secretary-media-handler-prince-charles-pregnant-heir-baby-control-image.htm

    To date, we don’t know for sure that Knauf sent an email in Oct. 2018 to Case expressing concerns. We only know he claimed he did. Have only seen a Fail mockup of an email.

  16. Jais says:

    I still can’t get over how Jason Knauf offered up heavily edited emails to help the DM. And then Meghan’s lawyers demanded that they be showed in their entirety and they ended up further supporting her. Strait up evil but also stupid. And he’s still getting an award.

  17. Slippers4life says:

    Capital G gross!

  18. Christine says:

    I wonder if this is a “keep quiet” award/bribe for when more info comes out and he has to defend himself. The last thing W&K want is for him to confirm he acted on their orders.

  19. RoyalBlue says:

    These awards on the whole are just a joke not to be taken seriously. Some are granted to the friends and employees of the family just for working for them. Baldy’s housekeeper and Ann’s hairdresser have these cheap ribbons with medals. where is the medal for my hairdresser and housekeeper? Do you know how hard they have to work for me? lol.

    • Mtl.Ex.Pat says:

      Anne’s hairdresser? The jokes just write themselves with that one!

    • Emily_C says:

      The housekeeper does work hard, and does useful work that doesn’t hurt anyone. I don’t know how useful a hairdresser’s work is, but again, they don’t hurt anybody. Giving them awards is perfectly good and fine.

      Knauf was given this award for helping to abuse Meghan and Harry.

  20. Vanessa says:

    I think this was a way to keep Jason closer Harry blow up their narratives that Jason was just his and Meghan spokesmen . Notice that even though it’s on record by Harry and Meghan themselves that Jason was the Cambridge’s spokesmen he only work for them for a little while the royals reporters continue to repeats this lie over and over to distant Jason from William as much as possible.

  21. Robert Phillips says:

    I don’t know the laws and rules of the monarchy. I know that when the Queen died Charles became King. But is he really King until the coronation? Shouldn’t they all be keeping their mouths shut until then? I imagine there will be a lot of commonwealth countries who want to leave in the months leading up to the coronation. Plus after a bad winter in England where people had to choose between heating and food. I don’t imagine they will be to happy spending all that money on a show.

    • Visa Diva says:

      Charles became king as soon as his mother died, the throne is never vacant. A coronation is a formality that harkens back to when Coronations did matter as a show of power and having nobles swear fealty to you was a way to send signals to your rivals to back off.

  22. Peanut Butter says:

    I was surprised to find out recently that Knauf is American, born in TX and raised there and VA. (I think I read that his mother is a realtor in VA?) I had assumed he was some well-connected Brit from birth. If anything, the lack of that makes this award seem like an even weirder, more obvious shenanigan to me. I wonder how dear Jason insinuated himself in the BRF in the first place.

    • Cathy says:

      @peanut butter
      Yes, Jason is an American which makes me want to know why he went to University in New Zealand? Then how did he end up with working for various Labour government members of Parliament, ending up working for the Prime Minister of the time, Helen Clark? It’s a bit of a stretch working for someone who wanted to abolish the monarchy to working for the Royal family?

      This gong isn’t given out for good deeds. It’s usually given when someone, who has worked for the Royal family for a certain amount of time, leaves. Think of it like when workers used to be given a gold watch when they retire…

      • Visa Diva says:

        I don’t know if I’d look too much into why he went to university in New Zealand. There are plenty of college student to who to school in other countries, US and British universities have a lot of international students

    • notasugarhere says:

      Knauf played PR cleanup for an enormous (Scottish?) bank scandal, so he would have gained William’s attention (or his handler’s attention) for that. He worked in New Zealand with govt too. There’s also some talk he attended the same Uni in NZ as/with Dan Wootten, no surprise.

      • Nic919 says:

        Wootton and Knauf both graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 2004 at the Victoria University in Wellington.

        They are listed in the roll of graduates on the site.

        Knauf was called a spin doctor for the Bank of Scotland in a now deleted tweet by Richard Eden when Knauf was first hired.

  23. Harper says:

    But wait. I thought Knauf had left the UK and joined his partner in an overseas position a year ago? He is supposedly out of the UK and he isn’t a British citizen. Surely last year was the year to give him his proper thanks for a job well done sullying Meghan’s reputation with an honor? Or was it that last year he wasn’t publicly named and shamed in the biggest Netflix documentary ever?

    This is so messy and it makes me laugh thinking of William trying to appease a panicked J-Knife with this stupid, meaningless honor in the hopes that J-Knife doesn’t go rogue. But, at some point, a place on the board of Earthflop isn’t going to make up for the amount of cash J-Knife could rake in by penning a tell-all. When the tide really turns in the American press watch for J-Knife to flip on Burger King.

    • notasugarhere says:

      Was that Knauf or former press secretary Christian Jones and his husband Callum Stephens? You know, the one who sold out the Sussex location in Canada to Wootten for 4000. So many of the W&K staff, caught in selling/giving info against Sussex Family, have ‘resigned’ but are still attached to the sinking W&K ship. Even Jamie Lowther-P has resurfaced at one of the ‘charities’.

      • Harper says:

        Not sure about Christian Jones but it was J-Knife who announce his resignation in May 2021, effective end of Dec. 2021. Will and Kate expressed their “sadness” as he left to join his partner at a diplomatic position in India.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Ah. Wasn’t someone’s husband/partner posted to France and that was the reason given for that resignation too? Maybe that was Jones. Or I’m misremembering that the posting was to Paris/France not India.

      • Nic919 says:

        Jones left earlier because of his boyfriend getting paid by Dan Wootton for stories. Of course there is no way Knauf didn’t know but someone else at the Sun caught this and outed Wootton. And not long after that Emily Andrews was no longer at the Sun and went to the Sunday mail. . Perhaps it is a coincidence but if she did let the editors know about that, then good for her.

    • Jais says:

      So, I’m pretty sure Knauf’s husband got a job with the foreign office in India so presumably he joined him. That was a few years ago though.

      • MissM says:

        Knauf announced his departure to join his husband oversees all of two weeks after Charles hired those crises managers. It’s obvious that he was allowed to resign and save his reputation rather than being outright fired. He was back less than 6 months later working for Earthshot, apparently never having moved overseas.

    • Jais says:

      Knauf’s husband got a job with the foreign office in India so presumably he joined him. That was a few years ago though.

  24. Dierski says:

    Off topic, but whenever I see pics of Knauf, I always think it’s Don Jr. at first. Both men are 🤢 so it kind of works!

  25. Jay says:

    It’s hardly surprising that the royals are rewarding Knauf for being such a ratfink – it’s what they do. It is a very blatant message that the palace will protect and even reward those who take an anti-Sussex line. But I’m surprised that the telegraph outright mentions his hand in the bullying allegations and that his offer of testimony against Meghan couldn’t have happened without William’s approval – they’re saying the quiet part loud and clear.

  26. HeyKay says:

    All the British awards i.e. OBE, etc.
    I can’t take any of these seriously after watching Peaky Blinders. 😀
    Tommy Shelby a violent, murderous, leader of the Peaky Blinders gang, blackmails a Govt. official to be granted an O.B.E. and everyone knows about the corruption on both sides.
    The other gangsters mock Tommy by addressing him as “The great Thomas Shelby, O.B.E. what dirt will you have us do now?”

    Hypocrites the lot of them.

  27. Well Wisher says:

    This is very much on brand.

    The hostility and pettiness against one of their own is one display as they rewarded the individual who made it possible for them to punish their only over-achievers.

    It also validated the Sussexes claims, by using the honour William rewards Knauf publicly for his ‘ commitment towards the destruction of the Sussexes’, as directed with tacit agreement from ……

    A correction is in order “Knauf has worked for the then Cambridges now Wales, while in their employee he worked against the Sussexes never for their best interest.”

    Very two-faced.

    Bless his heart.

  28. Tessa says:

    Will and Kate and Charles are so brazen giving this man an award. So disgusting.

  29. Monlette says:

    It is weird to me that Jason Knauf quit the royal family to be with his husband, and yet there is no evidence that he even has a husband or has ever left William’s side.

    Meanwhile Kate and the kids have moved out of their three other homes and they are back to doing separate appearances.

    Makes me wonder if William is taking a page out of Dad’s book and making Kate feel like a third wheel in their marriage of convenience.

  30. Emily_C says:

    It’s not that he has something on the BRF. It’s that he did their bidding. It’s also that they want to hurt Harry and Meghan, and rewarding someone for doing their bidding in hurting them is a great way to further that abuse.

  31. Solidgold says:

    This checks.

    People should not be surprised. There was an operation to get Meghan out. CC, WK and their teams colluded with the tabloids and I’m sure the some of the tory government.

  32. Southern Fried says:

    So the jerk gets a crappy medal from the crappy royals. It makes me laugh. This crappy group is ridiculous and it’s fun to watch them fail and fail and fail again.

  33. QuiteContrary says:

    Yet another betrayal of Harry and Meghan. Charles and William are disgusting low-lifes.

    Looking at this from a managerial stand point, Knauf did as was instructed in broad terms.
    He created the distance for principal(s).
    (Kate raised her glass in image)a toast? or just sauced??.
    They felt safe in not being seen. He tried to ‘stab in the back’ and ‘twist the knife in’ with the trial of Meghan against the fail.
    Job well done.
    His reward.

    In my opinion (worth nothing), he would not be in my employ.
    I prefer someone who would question the validity of the situation.

    It seems like he lacks integrity and will do almost anything.
    One has to believe in a higher purpose.

    Knauf must have some serious sh-t on Willie and Willie must have some serious sh-t on Charles.
