Kate Middleton's Uncle Spoke Out About The Rumors Of A Royal Rift – And He Had Some Words For Harry

Every month there seems to be some new royal drama! The fallout from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s bombshell interview with Oprah is still going on, believe it or not. And now Kate Middleton’s controversial uncle Gary Goldsmith has gotten involved. Turns out he’s not at all pleased with Harry – and he’s happy to tell the media so.

Rich Uncle

Gary Goldsmith is Kate’s uncle, the younger sibling of her mom Carole Middleton. And just like the rest of the family, he’s super rich. Goldsmith has obviously known Kate ever since she was a little girl, with the future princess and her sister Pippa serving as bridesmaids during his first marriage ceremony.

Black Sheep

Goldsmith, however, is broadly considered to be the black sheep of the family. He’s been in trouble with the law over the years – and it’s definitely been reported in the newspapers. Before Kate wed William, some News of the World journalists caught Goldsmith in a sting operation which reportedly enraged the Middleton family.

All Is Forgiven

By all accounts, though, the family forgave him for the embarrassment it caused. An anonymous friend told the Daily Express newspaper in 2013, “Gary was invited to the royal wedding, wasn’t he? He was completely set up in 2009. The family never blamed him, they felt sorry for him, and so did the royals.”

Flashing His Wealth

Goldsmith was indeed invited to the royal wedding, and he made himself impossible to miss while he was there. He turned up in an expensive and colorful Rolls Royce car, for a start. And after that, it became clear that he wasn’t going to go and quietly live a private life. He seemed to love spilling royal details to the press.
