Kate Middleton's battle with cancer has caused international shock. Gary Goldsmith, Carole Middleton's uncle and her brother, shared in an interview for the program ¡De Viernes!, details about how he found out about the Princess of Wales's illness and how she is currently.
Thus, he revealed that the news was communicated to him an hour before the official announcement. In this sense, he assured that, despite not having been able to speak directly with Kate, he has maintained contact with her sister Carole to make sure that she is well.
He also highlighted the effective management of this crisis by Kensington Palace, noting that "everything has been handled wonderfully and she has been honest." Additionally, he was optimistic about Kate's recovery: "It seems preventative and that she is healing."
However, he pointed out that all the rumors that have been spread during all these months, which since her death pointed to possible abuse or a pregnancy outside of marriage, may have hurt the family: "I find it hard to believe that they are not have affected all those messages and conspiracy theories.
Although Goldsmith does not have regular contact with her niece, she noted that the current Princess of Wales has not changed much over time: "Kate is very similar to the girl I saw growing up. She is fun and bubbly. She always strived to be the best in all". One of her great qualities, according to her uncle, is her pacifying nature within the family. "Whenever there were disputes in the family she acted as Kofi Annan," she said.
About how he found out about his niece's relationship with Prince William, the interviewee recalled that "I was at a meeting and my sister wrote to me to tell me that Kate was dating him. At first I didn't believe it." His meeting with the heir to the throne was also memorable: "he was charming and was one more during that family dinner."
