The Prince of Wales’ uncle Gary Goldsmith criticized Prince Harry for throwing the royal family “under the bus”, defending Kate against accusations that she was the “royal racist”.
Goldsmith, who entered the Celebrity Big Brother house as a contestant tonight, described his royal niece as “beautiful” and called accusations of racism against her “nonsense”.
In an interview with SunMr Goldsmith said: “She is beautiful on the outside, but more beautiful on the inside and she really is a loving mother.”
‘That’s why I got so angry with Harry and Meghan, because they don’t put a stick in that speech and reinvent the story.
“I was quite upset when they took one look at my beautiful niece who couldn’t say anything for herself.”
Goldsmith’s comments come after author Omid Scobie identified Kate and King Charles as those who allegedly asked Meghan and Harry what color Archie’s skin might be before he was born.

“It’s absolute nonsense and I didn’t hide my feelings very well when I was offered the opportunity to say something,” Mr Goldsmith said. “Kate is not 100 percent racist.”
Mr Goldsmith’s appearance on CBB has been described as “the last thing (Kate) needs” as she continues her recovery, a royal expert said today.
Goldsmith, the outspoken brother of Kate’s mother Carole Middleton, entered the house tonight as the reboot of the ITV reality show begins.
Kate’s uncle said the Princess of Wales may have been watching ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother from “behind a sofa” when she entered the house.
Host AJ Odudu asked him: “The nation needs to know if Kate will be watching.”
He said, “If it is, I guess it’s behind a couch.”
In a videotape that was played before entering the house, Goldsmith said, “She’s just perfect.”
“The first time I met William, Catherine was cooking and William said, ‘Hello, would you like a cup of tea?’ So normal.
Royal commentator Phil Dampier said that while the 58-year-old businessman will probably enter the house “determined to say only good things” about Kate and William, “after a few days he can loosen his tongue and say things that are then repent.” .
Kate will be away from official royal engagements until after Easter following major surgery in January, and Kensington Palace insisted last week that she was still “doing well”.
She has not been seen at any royal events since attending church in Sandringham on Christmas Day with William and her children George, Charlotte and Louis.
But a reality show appearance by Mr Goldsmith’s “black sheep” will cause a headache for the royals amid speculation about Kate as she recovers from abdominal surgery.
Goldsmith joked: “She’ll hide behind the couch if she’s watching.”
The star also admitted that he hopes his time on Big Brother will allow audiences to see a different side of him.
Referring to his four marriages, he added: “I’m an absolute nightmare to live with, there’s a reason I’ve had four wives.”

Last year Goldsmith reportedly tried to get a place on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, but was rejected over fears he would embarrass his niece.
He is said to have told friends he wouldn’t do anything to hurt Kate or William, but he previously attacked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and so they could now be in the line of fire.
And Mr Dampier told MailOnline today: “The last thing the Princess of Wales needs right now is for her uncle to talk about her on Celebrity Big Brother.”
‘And I’m not surprised by reports that her mother Carole is not happy with her brother being in the house.
I’m sure he’ll go in determined to say nothing but good things about her and William, as he has done in the past. And she probably intends to criticize Harry and Meghan if she gets the chance.
“But after a few days, your tongue may loosen and you may say things you later regret.”
The commenter also warned that “any indication of Kate’s medical condition won’t sit well with her or William,” adding, “I’m sure Gary wants to support his family, but giving them more publicity at this time isn’t appropriate.” what do they want”. .’
Dampier said it would be interesting to know if Goldsmith consulted Carole or Kate before deciding to enter the house, which “presumably he does for money.”
He continued: ‘He has caused them embarrassment in the past with his misdemeanors at the Maison de Bang Bang, but he has cleaned up his act in recent years and has mostly stayed out of the spotlight.
‘Big Brother’s bosses will want him to tell the truth; After all, why else would he be there? -but Kate and William hope that he will manage to be sensible and focus on other housemates and their problems.
