He was also asked about the health of the Princess of Wales. He responded: “She is receiving the best care in the world and all the family has done is put together the cars and take care of the family.” They issued a statement that simply said: “We will take some time to recover and will see you at Easter.”
Goldsmith, the younger brother of Kate’s mother Carole Middleton, added: “She’s amazing, she’ll be back, of course she will.”
The Princess of Wales’ uncle Gary Goldsmith called for Harry and Meghan to be stripped of their titles on last night’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother.
Speaking of the Sussexes, the 58-year-old said: “I really think they should be stripped of their titles.”
It came as the businessman was revealed as the first housemate who could be evicted from the show after being nominated by Sharon Osbourne to face a public vote tomorrow against YouTuber Zeze Millz and reality star David Potts.
Goldsmith pleaded with Osbourne, 71, who had come on the show to change the perception of him as “the black sheep of the Royal Family”, adding: “I’m a normal guy, it just so happens that my niece married with will.
‘If I can show people that I’m not that person and that I’ve really tried hard because this is not my world.
‘And ultimately, I’m not a celebrity. I don’t want to be a celebrity. “I don’t want to go down that path.”
In her conversation with Mr Goldsmith, Mrs Britton said: “My feeling is that William must be furious now at suddenly having all the weight on his head and shoulders when he could have shared it.”
Kate’s uncle responded: “I think you’ve done an incredible job in that horrible situation… and I’ve seen that you’ve always extended an olive branch for Harry to come back.”
Mrs Britton said: “For a father to see two beloved sons fighting like that is heartbreaking,” to which Mr Goldsmith replied: “I really think their titles should be taken away.”
Speaking about the current state of the Conservative Party, Goldsmith said: “I’m a Conservative at heart and I don’t think he (Rishi Sunak) is the leader we want.”
He expressed his admiration for former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and said he thought the world would be “safer” with Donald Trump back as US president.
When Fern Britton said she could imagine David Cameron becoming prime minister again, Goldsmith said: “He’s not the first person I’ve heard say that.”

It came as domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid criticized Mr Goldsmith for being a contestant on the show. In 2017, he was fined and given a community order after admitting assaulting his wife in a drunken argument when she accused him of taking drugs.
A spokesperson for the charity said: “The decision to include a man who has been accused and found guilty of assaulting his wife demonstrates the lack of awareness the production team has when it comes to survivors of domestic abuse.”
A Big Brother spokesman said “all behavior in the house is strictly controlled”, and an apology offered by the broadcaster on Mr Goldsmith’s behalf said: “I am not perfect and I made the mistake of having worked non-stop for seven years”. correct.’
Gary gained notoriety when he was caught in a drugs operation by the now defunct News Of The World newspaper in 2009 at his Ibiza villa, the Maison de Bang Bang – crude French slang for “House of Sex”.
He was filmed giving hard drugs to an undercover reporter, but denied taking drugs and reporter Mazher Mahmood, known as the ‘False Sheikh’, was later jailed for perverting the course of justice.
The Middletons are believed to have kept him at arm’s length in recent years.
This is despite him attending William and Kate’s wedding in London in 2011 and then Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton’s wedding to James Matthews in Berkshire six years later.
In 2012 he married his fourth wife, Julie-Ann, but five years later, in 2017, he was arrested after assaulting her outside her London home.
Gary threw her to the ground after she accused him of doing drugs during a drunken fight.
He later pleaded guilty to a charge of assault by beating and was fined £5,000 and given a 12-month community order with 20 rehabilitation sessions.
Julie-Ann’s mother Maureen Brown told MailOnline at the time: “You shouldn’t do that to a woman.” She doesn’t deserve that.’
Gary also publicly apologized for his behavior, saying: “I’m not perfect and I made a mistake, a personal dispute seven years ago that was publicly exposed and I’ve worked tirelessly for seven years to correct it.” The offense has long since passed, but my repentance remains.’
Women’s Aid also pleaded with ITV to consider how Gary’s appearance will “impact” other women who have survived domestic abuse.
When he moved into the Celebrity Big Brother house on Monday, Gary said he thinks Kate might be watching from “behind a sofa”.
He reportedly tried to win a place on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here last year but was rejected over fears he would embarrass his niece.
Goldsmith is said to have told friends he wouldn’t do anything to hurt Kate or William on Celebrity Big Brother, but he previously attacked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and so they could now be in the line of fire.
Asked by Celebrity Big Brother host AJ Odudu last night if Kate would be watching, Goldsmith said: ‘If she is, I guess it’ll be behind a sofa… It’ll be nice in a nice house, I can guarantee that.’
