Breaking News: Meghan Markle bullying claims resurface after former royal aide speaks out, casting dark cloud over her future…..Read More

Jason Knauf, the former palace aide who accused Meghan Markle of bullying, gave a rare, televised interview shortly before the Duchess of Sussex launches her Netflix series.

Knauf, who worked as the communications secretary for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was asked by “60 Minutes Australia” if it was tough to find himself in the spotlight after the allegations went public. Knauf said he had “no regrets” and “wouldn’t change anything.”

Royal experts told Fox News Digital that there’s no doubt William knew Knauf would be asked about the allegations for the sit-down, resurfacing the claims against the duchess, 43.

Meghan’s show, “With Love, Meghan,” premieres on March 4 after it was postponed due to the Los Angeles fires.

“[Knauf] wouldn’t have acquiesced to the interview without consulting and gaining the approval of Prince William since they remain close and work together on the Earthshot Awards,” claimed British royals expert Hilary Fordwich.

We know this is an informal reinforcement of those allegations being totally legitimate right from the top,” Fordwich claimed. “If there were any doubts Meghan Markle was all she was stated to be, as a bully, then this interview wouldn’t have been approved by Prince William.”

“Jason, loyal as ever to the crown, also wouldn’t even consider conducting it without upfront approval,” Fordwich added

When asked about the sudden public attention he received, Knauf said, “I think it’s tough, but it’s probably quite good. You know, as someone who has been helping other people through how to deal with the public eye, you probably have 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 as well as everyone else working for them,” he said. “So, I wouldn’t change anything.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Kensington Palace and Archewell, which handles the offices of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, for comment about Knauf’s interview.

For seven years, Knauf, an American, worked at “the highest levels of the royal family,” The Times UK reported. During his time at the palace, Knauf was in charge of communications for Meghan and Prince Harry, as well as William and Kate Middleton.

The outlet noted that in 2016, Knauf was in charge of protecting Meghan from the relentless British tabloids once her romance with Prince Harry came to light. Knauf described the couple’s 2018 wedding as an “amazing, magical experience.”

However, the outlet noted that five months after the royal wedding, Knauf wrote an incendiary email accusing the former American actress of bullying palace staff.

Knauf wrote to Simon Case, his boss and William’s private secretary, that there were “some very serious problems” with Meghan’s behavior.

In the emails, Knauf claimed that Meghan bullied two palace aides out of the household “in the past year.

“The duchess seems intent on always having someone in her sights,” the outlet quoted him as writing. “She is bullying X and seeking to undermine her confidence. We have report after report from people who have witnessed unacceptable behavior.”
