Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith delivered a cutting assessment on the Duchess of Sussex as he spoke extensively about the royal family for the first time in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The 53-year-old businessman raised eyebrows when he was entered into the reality show which is broadcast on ITV1.
On Tuesday night, Mr Goldsmith came out with his first criticism of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. He first said Harry couldn’t “throw your family under the bus” referring to his memoir Spare and “expect to be invited round for Christmas.
Then he said Meghan’s entrance into the family had brough an extra dynamic that “puts a stick in the spokes and creates so much drama”.
The on-screen drama came as doubts were cast over the first official royal duty of Kate with the army removing a claim on its website that the princess would review the Trooping the Colour in June.
The Princess of Wales has been recovering from abdominal surgery, and it was thought she would return to public duties after Easter.
What Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith said about Meghan Markle
During Tuesday night’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother, viewers heard Kate Middleton’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, talk about the royal family in detail for the first time.
The 58-year-old businessman is expected to cause a stir in royal circles after entering the house for the relaunched show this week.
And Mr Goldsmith was quick with criticism for Meghan Markle. He told housemates: “So I have an opinion that Harry was really, really really loved and when they were a threesome, so Kate, William and Harry they got really comfortable together.
“And then suddenly there’s an extra dynamic that comes in, puts a stick in the spokes and creates so much drama that I don’t genuinely think is there, and rewrites the history, saying they’re unhappy with us and I just don’t think that’s fair.”
