 AMANDA PLATELL: Three cheers for Uncle Gary, Kate's secret PR weapon! He spoke for her and told the truth about the Sussexes.

The revelation that the Princess of Wales’ uncle Gary Goldsmith had signed up to appear on Celebrity Big Brother last week was immediately followed by the news that his older sister Carole had “read him the riot card”.

And who can blame Kate’s mother for being terrified at the prospect of her younger brother being given a platform in prime time?

Gary is the kind of black sheep of the family for whom the term “loose bullet” might have been invented. And sure enough, it wasn’t long before the owner of a villa in Ibiza named ‘Maison de Bang Bang’ was giving it his all.

Shortly after ‘Buncle Gary’, named for his reputation as a ‘bad guy’, entered the Big Brother House, the ITV show’s 3.2 million viewers were treated to his scathing opinions of Harry and Meghan.

He argued that “the Sussexes should be stripped of their royal titles” after having “thrown their family under a bus” through their toxic triumvirate of “truth bombs”: that Oprah interview, the Netflix series and, above all, Harry’s unsparing memoir, Spare. .

Shortly after ‘Buncle Gary’, named for his reputation as a ‘bad guy’, entered the Big Brother House, the ITV show’s 3.2 million viewers were treated to his scathing opinions of Harry and Meghan.

Boom! Three point two million cheers arose from spectators across the country, and the Royal Family would not be human if they did not allow themselves a wry smile.

Because the truth is that, far from being a liability, Gaz, who is outspoken and has been married four times, is Kate’s secret public relations weapon in the media war between the Sussexes and the Waleses.

While the royals are subject to strict rules of protocol (the late Queen’s saying “never complain, never explain” constantly rings in their ears), such restrictions do not apply to the “Mouth of Maidenhead” (where it owns a five-bedroom house). .

If Gary feels like trying it out with Meghan, nothing will stand in the way of him saying the unspeakable.

“Kate, William and Harry were great together, but suddenly an extra dynamic comes along – Meghan Markle – puts a stick in the spokes and creates so much drama that I don’t think it’s there and rewrites history, saying they’re not happy with us.” , and I don’t think that’s fair.”

Along with William, Kate was the “number one royal,” he insists. She, not Meghan, was the woman who had “changed the royal family forever,” and for the better.

He also has no qualms about talking about his niece’s mysterious health problems: “She receives the best care in the world and the only thing the family has done is ride the cars and take care of the family.”

He added: “She’s amazing, she’ll be back, of course she will.”

This is music to the ears of realists like me: the message we all want to hear at a time when the Palace is feeding us nothing but disconcerting statements about medical procedures such as “abdominal surgery.”

I wonder if, far from reading him the riot card, Sister Carole gently encouraged her brother to share his views on the Meghan debacle.

Along with William, Kate is ‘real number one’, insists Uncle Gary

And who can blame Kate's mother Carole, pictured with Kate's father Michael, for being terrified at the prospect of her younger brother being given a platform in prime time?

After all, it was as a result of the Sussexes’ gnomic statements about the Royal Family’s attitudes towards the possible skin color of their unborn son Archie during the interview with Oprah Winfrey that their beloved daughter was identified as one of the ” real racists” in Omid Scobie’s book Finding. Freedom… well, at least in the Dutch edition.

And the talkative Gary’s intervention couldn’t have come at a better time. With King Charles battling cancer, Queen Camilla enjoying a well-deserved holiday after exhausting herself carrying the burden of public appearances on her husband’s behalf, the Princess of Wales incapacitated and her husband William cutting back on his public appearance schedule. to take care of their children, a vacuum has been created.

Nature – and the news cycle – abhors a vacuum, and it’s Gary Goldsmith who’s filling it with boundless enthusiasm.

The portly millionaire (he sold his recruitment business for £17m in 2005) entered the Big Brother house with eye-catching specs, a double-breasted jacket and a cream polo-neck jumper stretched across his well-fed belly. He’s hardly a Palace advisor from Central Casting.

He introduced himself on the show as the “uncle of the future queen of our country” and said his niece was “simply perfect.”

He added that he would also like to “set the record straight” about his “bad boy reputation.”

For those who haven’t been keeping up with all the twists and turns of Middleton’s soap opera, I should point out that he was fined £5,000 and given a community order in 2017 after admitting punching his wife in the face during a discussion.

However, it has fallen to the broadest of boys, and not one of the uptight shirts in the corridors of power, to reveal truths about the consequences of the Sussexes’ treatment of the Welsh that no one else dares to tell.

Buncle Gary may be kicked off CBB this week as Sharon Osbourne has put him in the danger zone, but even if that happens, he will surely be happy knowing that he has spoken up for Kate and the millions of us who love and desire her. her a speedy recovery.

Three cheers for Gary, I say!
