Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are likely to be “infuriated” by Prince William’s decision to hire their former royal aide, according to a royal expert.

Jason Knauf, who once voiced concerns about Meghan’s alleged behavior toward palace staff, has just been appointed CEO of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize.

Knauf previously served as the CEO of William and Kate’s Royal Foundation and worked as their communications secretary. Before that, he was also Prince Harry and Meghan’s press secretary during their time as working royals.

William brings in Jason Knauf to lead Earthshot Prize

It was recently revealed that Hannah Jones, the current CEO of the Earthshot Prize, will be stepping down this summer. Jason Knauf, already working with the organization, will step into her role.

In a statement, William praised Jones for building a “world-class organisation” that powers global environmental solutions and inspires young people. “As we look ahead to the future… I look forward to working with Jason to chart the course for the next five years,” he said.
