Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary slams Meghan Markle as ‘stick in the spokes’ of royal family

Kate Middleton’s controversial uncle has slammed Meghan Markle just 24 hours after arriving at the “Celebrity Big Brother UK” house.

Gary Goldsmith, the younger brother of the Princess of Wales’s mother, Carole Middleton, joined 12 other celebrities on the British reality TV show as his niece continues to recover from surgery.

After settling into the house, Goldsmith, 58, spoke to fellow celeb Sharon Osbourne about his views on the royals and what it’s like being an uncle to the Princess of Wales, who was seen for the first time on Monday since December.

As well as claiming that Middleton’s sister-in-law Meghan Markle changed the royal family’s dynamics, the outspoken Goldsmith bizarrely claimed that the Duke of Sussex, 39, “will come back and be part of the gang again one day.”

“I have an opinion that Harry was really, really really loved and when they were a threesome, so Kate, William, and Harry they looked really comfortable together,” he told Osbourne, 71.

“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 rewrote the history, saying how unhappy he was and I just don’t think that’s fair,” he said of Markle, admitting that he’s never met her.

“I mean you can’t throw your family under the bus in such a dramatic style, then write books about it and expect to be invited round for Christmas.”

“I think it’s really sad. At some point, I think he is going to come back and be a part of the gang again. He might need to,” he went on. “We are a very forgiving nation, it would be nice if he did.”

Osbourne, for her part, has shied away from making her feelings for the Sussexes known.

“I think [Harry] is foolish but he is not a bad person,” she said. “In the beginning, they were very very well received.”

“They don’t understand it, but they do love it, you know? But it’s dwindling, dwindling, dwindling and there’s been some deals that they have done that haven’t worked well,” the wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne added.

Last year, it was reported that Goldsmith was planning to release a tell-all memoir.

He first teased plans to publish a memoir in 2013 after raking in $36 million through his successful IT business.
