CelebHomes News reached the palace to get their opinion, but did not receive a response.

According to the PA, Meghan additionally explained her thought process as she wrote the letter, writing to Knauf, “Obviously everything I have drafted is with the understanding that it could be leaked so I have been meticulous in my word choice.”

Knauf suggested that Duchess call her father “Daddy” because she “only ever called him daddy.” Knauf agreed that this would be a good choice, as it wouldn’t hurt to pull on the heartstrings.

Knauf, who previously accused Meghan of bullying palace aides (who have since rescinded their claims), additionally addressed the court regarding his collaboration with Finding Freedom Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand. The former secretary testified that he Meghan discussed the book “on a routine basis,” and that he corresponded with Prince Harry about his talks with Scobie and Durand.
