Except it’s a matter of public record that Jason Knauf provided evidence in the copyright lawsuit between (Meghan and the Mail on Sunday). He did so on behalf of ANL, publisher of the Mail on Sunday, while he was the chief executive of William and Kate’s Royal Foundation.
It doesn’t take a gigantic leap of faith to come to the conclusion that it is likely that William would have been aware that one of his key aides was about to give evidence against his brother’s wife on behalf of the gutter press. Nor is it a stretch to think that he would have been unable to proceed in giving eveidence without William’s approval.
It should not be forgotten that Meghan was successful in her lawsuit.
Further, an appeals court rejected a bid by the Mail on Sunday to take it to a trial.
Anyway, the point I am making is just that William has not been the silent innocent party in any of this. He’s just been more crafty, devious and less transparent in his role in the feud.
Completely unrelated…Jason Knauf has just been made a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order in the New Years Honours. This is an honour ‘in the Kings gift’ that is bestowed upon individuals independently of Downing Street.
