Prince William sends stern message to Meghan by honouring 'loyal' aide

Meghan Markle seemingly suffered a big blow after Prince William gave a golden opportunity to a former royal aide who once accused the Duchess of being a "bully" during her time in the Palace.

As per Daily Beast, the Prince of Wales sent a stern message to the Duchess of Sussex by honouring Jason Knauf for his loyalties to the royal family.

The source shared, "Jason has proved his loyalty to William and has been rewarded. He was caught in the middle of a very nasty situation with Meghan and he just told the truth. Jason is one of the good guys."

For the unversed, William announced Jason, the new CEO of his passion project Earthshot Prize in a statement on April 17.

At first, he bid farewell to current CEO, Hannah Jones, and then the Prince said he "look forward to working with Jason to chart the course for the next five years of the Earthshot Prize and beyond."

It is important to note that Jason made shocking claims against Meghan in 2018, accusing her of bullying the Palace staff.

In response, the Duchess of Sussex's team denied the allegations and revealed that Meghan is "deeply saddened" by the attack on her character.
