Kate Middleton's uncle, Gary Goldsmith, is set to appear in the upcoming season of Celebrity Big Brother U.K. While preparing for his reality show stint, Goldsmith shared his thoughts on his royal niece's recent health concerns. Princess Kate, who recently underwent abdominal surgery on January 16, is currently in recovery.
Goldsmith expressed his support for his sister, Carole, and Kate during this challenging time. He emphasized the family's current stress levels and mentioned that he aims to avoid adding any additional pressure to them.
In 2017, Goldsmith made headlines for assaulting his fourth wife, Julie-Ann, during a drunken argument outside their London residence. He pleaded guilty to the charges, was fined, and received a community order with rehabilitation sessions.
Praising Princess Kate as a loving mother, Goldsmith highlighted the monarchy's shift towards a more family-centric approach. However, he criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their public comments about the royal family following their decision to step back from official duties in 2020.
Goldsmith accused the couple of distorting historical facts and expressed disappointment in their actions, particularly during Queen Elizabeth's declining health and eventual passing in September 2022.
As Goldsmith gears up for his Celebrity Big Brother appearance, he shared fond memories of Kate and Prince William, describing Kate as 'simply perfect.' Recalling a casual encounter with William offering him tea while Kate was cooking, Goldsmith highlighted the couple's down-to-earth nature.
