Princess Kate’s uncle left the British TV show “Celebrity Big Brother” after just a few days. Gary Goldsmith was voted out of the house first in the round on Friday evening. He told ITV that he had the absolute best time, adding that a project like this was actually far outside his comfort zone. Goldsmith is the younger brother of Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton.
He only commented cautiously on the show about his niece’s health. When an interviewer asked, “Where’s Kate?”, Goldsmith replied that he couldn’t say anything for etiquette reasons. But he assured that he had spoken to her mother, his sister: “She is getting the best treatment in the world.”
Kate came to the hospital in mid-January for a planned operation. The daughter-in-law of King Charles III. and wife of heir to the throne Prince William underwent abdominal surgery. She is now recovering at home.
The palace announced that she would not attend any appointments until after Easter. Despite the announcement and the urgent request to maintain privacy, there were rumors and conspiracy theories. When Goldsmith’s interviewee on the show stressed that she wanted Kate to come back, he said: “She will come back, of course she will.”
It wasn’t the first time that a member of the British royal family took part in a television show. In 2022, Mike Tindall competed at the British jungle camp – he is the husband of Zara Tindall. She in turn is the daughter of Princess Anne and therefore a cousin of heir to the throne William.
