Gary Goldsmith, uncle to the Duchess of Cambridge, criticises members of the Royal Family in a recent interview, amidst discussions about Meghan Markle’s career and Prince Harry’s memoir.
Gary Goldsmith, the uncle of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, recently made headlines with his controversial comments about various members of the Royal Family in an interview. Goldsmith, referring to himself as ‘buncle’ to Middleton, launched criticism at Prince William, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew, alongside negative remarks about Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton. His interview, which emerged shortly after Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis was disclosed, included derogatory terms and personal critiques, ranging from calling Prince William offensive names to describing Meghan Markle as “Laughing Girl.” Furthermore, he speculated about Prince Harry’s potential return to the UK, subject to an apology for his actions, and labeled Harry’s memoir as “pathetic.”
In contrast, Meghan Markle’s career prior to joining the Royal Family was highlighted in her reflections on her role in the TV series “Suits.” Markle detailed her audition process for the character of Rachel Zane, a role she initially thought she failed to secure due to her nerves and forgetfulness. Her success in landing the part led to significant professional opportunities and personal milestones, including her relationship with Prince Harry.
Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” has also attracted attention for its sensational claims and the debate over its factual accuracy. Ghostwriter Joshua Lisec mentioned that the book is structured more like a novel, blending emotional experiences with factual reporting. Critics have questioned the veracity of certain aspects, especially Harry’s admission of past drug use, sparking legal scrutiny and discussions about the authenticity of memoirs generally.
These various narratives from the Royal Family and its extended members highlight the ongoing public fascination with their personal and public lives, intersecting with issues of media representation and personal revelation.
