In a revealing interview, Gary Goldsmith, Kate Middleton’s uncle, opens up about his interactions with the British royal family, his views on Meghan Markle, and reflects on the timing of his comments amid Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
Gary Goldsmith, the uncle of Kate Middleton, has sparked conversation with a series of candid remarks about the British royal family in a recent interview. Notably, he recounted an initial encounter with Prince William in Ibiza in 2006, where his greeting included a profanity after the prince accidentally damaged an ornament. Despite this, the interaction did not sour their meeting, as Prince William was even taught to DJ by one of Goldsmith’s friends during the visit.
Goldsmith, referring to himself as the “buncle” (bad uncle), also offered his candid perspective on Meghan Markle, whom he dubbed “laughing girl”. He critiqued her for allegedly instigating a divide between Prince Harry and other members of the royal family, specifically between Harry, Kate, and William. He described Meghan as “fickle” and detrimental to the country, while also addressing Prince Andrew’s status and speculating on Prince Harry’s potential return to the UK. He suggested that an apology from Harry might facilitate his return, despite strongly criticizing Harry’s decision to publish a memoir detailing family disputes.
In light of Kate Middleton’s recent cancer diagnosis, Goldsmith expressed regret over the timing of his interview, suggesting the timing was inappropriate given the circumstances.
In related insights, the memoir “Spare” by Prince Harry sheds light on the long-standing rivalry and strained relationship between him and Prince William, rooted not in recent events but in their childhood experiences of navigating royal expectations. Described by psychotherapist Helen Villiers, the “heir and the spare” dynamic likely contributed to feelings of underappreciation and rivalry, exacerbated by incidents like a physical altercation with their father, Prince Charles, in 2019.
Amid this backdrop, Meghan Markle is focusing on her new lifestyle brand ‘American Riviera Orchard,’ aimed at reflecting her passion for family, cooking, and home décor, inspired by her life in Santa Barbara, California. Despite facing criticism in the UK, sources indicate that Meghan and Harry remain undeterred, concentrating on their interests and projects that align with their values, signaling a new chapter in their lives post-royal duties.
