Palace Withheld Markle Report to Spare Prince Andrew
10 Nov
Summary
- Bullying report findings linked to ex-Prince Andrew's embarrassment.
- Jason Knauf alleged Meghan Markle belittled staff in 2018.
- Palace confirmed internal review but won't release findings.
An unreleased report concerning bullying allegations against Meghan Markle reportedly contains an unexpected connection to ex-Prince Andrew, according to royal expert Andrew Lownie. Lownie claims in his book "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York" that the findings were deliberately withheld by Buckingham Palace.
The motive for withholding the report, Lownie suggests, was to spare the Duke of York further public scrutiny and embarrassment. This controversy is linked to a formal bullying complaint lodged in 2018 by Jason Knauf, then-communications secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Knauf alleged that Meghan Markle had belittled staff and contributed to employees leaving their roles. While Buckingham Palace acknowledged an internal review into the matter, it has stated that the findings would not be made public, framing the review as an effort to improve HR processes.
