The ongoing tension between Prince William and Prince Harry has taken a new turn, as Prince William is accused of making an indirect attack on his brother. This alleged swipe came to light following comments made by Jason Knauf, a former royal aide who worked closely with both brothers.
In a recent documentary, Where There’s a Will, aired by 60 Minutes Australia, Knauf shared his admiration for working with Prince William and Princess Catherine—comments that some interpreted as a subtle criticism of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Jason Knauf, who previously served as press secretary for both Prince William and Prince Harry, made rare public remarks during the documentary. He described his experience working with the Prince and Princess of Wales as “the honor of a lifetime.” While his comments were primarily positive about William and Catherine, some royal observers viewed them as a potential dig at Harry and Meghan.
Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Knauf’s comments could indeed be seen as an indirect attack on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. During her appearance on GB News, Griffiths acknowledged that while Knauf’s statement might not have been an overt attack, it could still be interpreted as part of the ongoing feud between the royal brothers. She also noted that this was one of the first times Knauf had spoken publicly since the split, adding more weight to his remarks.
Adding to the intrigue, GB News host Ben Leo speculated that Prince William might have played a role in allowing Knauf to speak publicly at this time. Leo suggested that the timing of Knauf’s comments seemed significant and that it could be part of a larger strategy approved by the Prince of Wales. This suggestion hinted at the possibility that William might be carefully managing how he is portrayed in the media amid his ongoing rift with Harry.
Griffiths also proposed that Knauf’s comments might be part of a broader effort by Prince William to bolster his public image, particularly in Australia. She noted that William’s reputation is especially important in regions like Australia, where the monarchy’s popularity has fluctuated. According to Griffiths, this could be a calculated move to strengthen the Prince of Wales’ standing internationally and reaffirm support for the monarchy in the Commonwealth.
The documentary, which aired on February 23, sheds light on the complexities of the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry. While its main focus was on Prince William, the inclusion of Knauf’s comments has brought Harry back into the conversation, fueling speculation about the royal family’s internal dynamics.
Observers believe that the public narrative surrounding the brothers continues to evolve as both sides navigate their roles in the spotlight. As Prince William and Prince Harry’s strained relationship remains a topic of public interest, this latest development adds another layer to their complicated history.
The appearance of Jason Knauf in the documentary—and the interpretation of his comments as a possible indirect attack on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex—only adds to the growing speculation surrounding the royal feud.
