The Big Brother house in the United Kingdom can now boast of having a certain "royal" touch in its new edition. Gary Goldsmith, uncle of the Princess of Wales, is already an official contestant on the famous reality show, despite the fact that he previously said that it was the only program that he had said he would "never" enter.
The businessman, younger brother of Carole Middleton, mother of Prince William's wife, Kate Middleton; He is the star signing of this new edition that returns after six years. As it could not be otherwise, he has already entered into controversy, as he has given an interview in which he makes his feelings for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle more than clear.
Goldsmith's participation begins with controversy, since in his presentation video he begins by dropping some pearls about his relationships with the British royal family. Among other things, he introduces himself in the program as the "uncle of the future queen" of her country, whom he considers "perfect."
"She is beautiful on the outside, but more beautiful on the inside and she is truly a loving mother. The monarchy is family-centered," says Goldsmith in an interview with The Sun newspaper, adding that that is why she got so upset with the Sussexes. .
"That's why I got so upset with Enrique and Meghan, because they don't put a stick in that speech and reinvent the story," he explains. "I was quite upset when they yelled at my beautiful niece, that she couldn't say anything for herself."
Goldsmith went further in his criticism of Prince Henry, accusing him of humiliating his family in his memoirs. "I think everyone felt the same thing: how much we loved Henry and then... Stabbing your family in the back was inappropriate, especially what was happening with the Queen. I just thought it was totally unnecessary," he insists.
The businessman was also very upset at the allegations that his niece could have been the one who made the "racist" comments that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle denounced about their children's skin color, according to the Dutch translation of Endgame, by writer Omind Scobie, who alleged that Kate Middleton and King Charles III would have speculated on little Archie's skin color.
Goldsmith, outraged, calls any accusation "absolute nonsense." "Kate is not racist, and neither is Carole. My family is not racist and for Kate to be portrayed that way is so far from the truth it's ridiculous."
Goldsmith is a controversial character per se. Carole Middleton's brother, 58, has been the subject of headlines for years. Above all, when in 2017 they imposed a fine of 5,000 pounds sterling (about 5,850 euros, at the exchange rate) and a community order after admitting to having mistreated his wife during an argument.
The businessman appears in the program as just another character, but the criticism began as soon as his signing for the ITV program was announced, as viewers accuse the private British network of being "shameful" for having selected as a contestant a character with a conviction for mistreatment.
