Gary Goldsmith on the Sussexes’ interview: ‘It’s just not the way the world works’

New Couple Alert! Kiwi director Taika Waititi and British singer Rita Ora make their first public appearance as a couple

Gary Goldsmith is Carole Middleton’s brother, and uncle to the Duchess of Cambridge, Pippa Middleton and James Middleton. Uncle Gary only really talks about Kate though, which seems to be pretty consistent throughout the family: Kate is the only one who matters, everything is for Kate. Gary has been getting more attention over the past year because he will not shut up. He did a Facebook post last fall about how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “attention-craving muppets” who need to shut up. Then Gary gave two lengthy and delusional interviews about how the Duchess of Sussex is a manipulative liar and how Kate needs to be Queen right now, and Prince Charles and the Queen need to go. Seriously.

What’s strange about Gary running around giving all of these interviews is that he’s definitely using a lot of talking points coming out of Middleton HQ, which makes me believe that the Middletons have authorized him to speak. Clearly, they’re not trying to get to be quiet. Which is a story in and of itself. This is what Team Middleton wants out there: Kate needs to be Queen right now, Charles needs to step aside and Harry and Meghan need to be punished for damaging the crown. Well, guess what? Gary is going international with these talking points. He did an interview with 60 Minutes Australia and the whole thing is bonkers:

For those of you too annoyed to watch the whole thing, here’s the Mail’s coverage:

Kate Middleton’s uncle has slammed Harry and Meghan’s behaviour in recent bombshell interviews, doubling down on his criticism that the two are acting like ‘muppets’. Gary Goldsmith, the 55-year-old brother of Kate’s mother Carole, told Australia’s 60 Minutes everyone was ‘massively disappointed’ when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to throw the firm ‘under a bus’ in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The self-made millionaire IT recruiter also took aim at the Sussexes for claiming that Kate reduced Meghan to tears in a row over bridesmaids’ dresses. After the bombshell interview aired in March, Mr Goldsmith posted a message on LinkedIn branding Harry and Meghan ‘muppets craving attention’.

When asked about the infamous post, he said ‘I’m embarrassed about doing it but I stand by it. I’m just very disappointed with them and there’s a whole nation that’s massively disappointed with them,’ he said in the interview on Australian TV on Sunday night local time. ‘We all love Harry, the whole world loves Harry, but you just don’t do what they did. You just don’t do what they did and then go on Oprah and talk like that. It’s just not the way the world works.’

Among the proud uncle’s biggest gripes with the couple is Meghan’s incendiary claim the Duchess of Cambridge made her cry in an emotional row leading up to her 2018 wedding.

‘I don’t believe a word of it,’ he told the Channel Nine program. ‘There were a lot of things in that interview I didn’t believe. Kate would always be the peacemaker in those situations. I think we saw at the funeral (for Prince Philip) that Kate is always trying to make peace.

He said Kate is ‘even lovelier on the inside than on the outside’ and that if anyone had a hissy fit that day it was certainly Meghan.

[From The Daily Mail]

As you can see in the video, he also spoke at length about how Kate needs to be queen right now. Which continues to confuse me, because surely Prince Charles has the power to shut down the Middletons and Uncle Gary? It’s getting crazy. I tend to believe Charles is aware of the Middletons’ press operation and he’s letting them go on and on for some reason. I mean, clearly, Gary is being used to attack Meghan and Harry in a way that Carole and Kate could not do in an interview. But the other stuff about how the Queen and Prince of Wales need to go too??

    Uncle woman beater sure is chatty…

    • betsyh says:

      Woman beating. That’s just the way the world works.

    • whatWHAT? says:

      and really, why should ANYONE care what this nobody has to say?

      why does his opinion carry any weight, at all?

    • PEARL GREY says:

      I may be in the minority, but I don’t mind if good ol’ Uncle Gary the Gob keeps on talking. Let him continue to remind everyone that Meghan isn’t the only royal wife with unsavoury relatives that just won’t shut up. Anyone who uses Toxic Tom and Scamantha as a stick to beat Meghan with is a hypocrite if they let Gary off the hook. As undoubtedly trash as they are, at least they are not convicted criminals (yet), and at least Meghan isn’t deploying them to publicly bash the royal family like Carole and Kate are clearly authorising Gary to bash the Sussexes. Yet more proof that the royal family, the royal institution, the Middletons and the British media are all in cahoots is that the Windsor kkklan have made zero attempt to reign in Gary, the courtiers are not briefing the press about their “horror and disapproval” of his tacky interviews, and the press are not calling Gary out or questioning whether he has been given the green light to say what he’s saying. They are just giving him a platform to run his mouth.

      • Maria says:

        Sadly the people who hate Harry and Meghan are already hypocrites and don’t care. They excuse Gary with “well he’s only saying what we’re all thinking!” and that is enough for them. And the ironic thing is that a lot of these people agree with Tom and Samantha. They love anyone who will call Meghan an evil manipulator and Harry a dolt.

      • NTheMiddle says:

        ‘He only says what we’re thinking ‘ sounds like orange logic. I agree… talk all you want Uncle. You sound like a pious, ignorant idiot.

    • Elizabeth Phillips says:

      Actually, Gary, it IS the way the world works. Its just not the way the British Royal Family works. Which is why they’re on the point of being shut down.

  2. Merricat says:

    Lol. The wheels have come off, haven’t they? Hilarious.
    And actually, it IS the way the world works.

    • a says:

      Didn’t Oprah make her billions because this is exactly how the world works? Gary needs to catch up.

  3. Gk says:

    Not surprised by the H&M hate, you need a villain to make your heroine shine. Extremely surprised by the line jumping suggestion and wonder what uproar that is causing.

    • Renata says:

      True about the hero needing a villain. I wish Harry had made it clear that this is inner-workings he knew would haunt them. That as a sibling who is no longer anywhere near the succession, he and his bride will always be a target. Torn down by the family and the media to make the future king appear worthy.

  4. Chica1971 says:

    Whew, Chile?

    He a good example of why Keens are NOT ready. Are any of them ready after Queen Elizabeth? Why hasn’t the Middletons shut him down? He’s not aristocrat and reminds everyone that Kate is not? Where are her aristo friends who can leak to Tatler and Vogue?
    The strategy is awful on all fronts. This is a free for all. The Keens are also fighting each other. Game of Thrones . though not compelling.

    • Lemons says:

      This is Carole’s latest (certainly not last) push to see Kate on the throne before she passes. As it stands, Carole likely won’t see Kate become Queen if Charles ages like his mother and father.

      So this is a win-win situation for Carole because she has nothing to lose. Unless William divorces Kate, but that’s where we are getting the lynchpin PR.

    • SaySo says:

      I don’t know why but every time they try to silence H&M with one of these ridiculous interviews I hear Samuel L. Jackson In my head ” I’ve had it with these MFing snakes on the MFing plane.”

    • Kfg says:

      Again Charles is smart. He knows PwT is going to be getting rid of keen and this helps make her and her family to blame for all of the anti-H&M press and that she was the cause of everything. Keen better watch out, she’s going to be under the bus soon

      • Dee says:

        I have thought this for a long time. I have the feeling that when the time comes W will throw everything back onto Kate…through the tabloids , of course. At this point it’s pretty clear Will and Kate are not living together. Carole wants to be QM NOW!!!!! She wants titles for herself, her husband and her children…

  5. Steph says:

    This man is only 55?! My god, I thought he was 55 years older than my 37….

  6. nicegirl says:

    It’s so crazy! What do the Midds think they’re going to pull out of Keen’s hat to keep Baldemort content? I think they need to grow more than cannabis, obvs he’s into roses. Omg Uncle Gary is RIDICULOUS.

  7. Kebbie says:

    Does he really not see the irony here? He’s saying you don’t go on television and criticize members of the royal family…as he’s on television criticizing members of the royal family.

  8. Asking for a friend says:

    I so badly want Meghan to drop some receipts on tightsgate so these fools will shut it.

    • Jais says:

      Yep, ITA. If they keep clinging to the racist trope lie and repeating it and calling Meghan a liar….then drop the receipts. Kate’s uncle is literally calling Meghan a liar. That the original story is still that Meghan made Kate cry and now Meghan is lying. Literally, how dare they. Drop the receipts. Drop all of them. They could have corrected the story so easily but they didn’t want to. Probably bc they made it up and planted to tominey in the first place. I am over it. Terrible horrible people.

  9. GuestWho says:

    Yeah, the person you want out front of your PR push for power is the guy with scabs on his face who looks like he’s one more line of coke away from a stroke…master planning.

    • Chrissy says:

      Carole’s getting desperate.

      • Harper says:

        Carole should be desperate. There must be a shift in the Palace strategy if they don’t push back at Uncle Gary with his treasonous interviews. I do not think Charles, Ann, Edward or even disgraced Andrew have much love for Kate and her clan. And those siblings, who will still be adjacent to King Charles, certainly have their own opinions about a relative of the married-in blabbering about skipping their generation’s chance to rule. Why would they not seek to put Kate in her place the same way they did to Meghan? Very short-sighted of Carole not to shut him up.

  10. BearcatLawyer says:

    Charles is giving the Middletons a long rope with which to hang themselves. All of these “Chuck must go” quotes will definitely come back to haunt them. Chuck is not above throwing Kate under the bus, and for some reason I think that is coming….

    • notasugarhere says:

      Agreed. All of this will come back to haunt Kate and the Midds, when William comes running to Charles for help divorcing Kate and her trashy family.

    • Digital Unicorn says:

      ITA – the fact that Carol(e) has resorted to trotting out her wife beating, druggie, dodgy as all get out brother to prop up her daughter tells you that the Middletons are sh!t scared. This is his 3rd interview on the Sussex’s in how many weeks? Has the Fail stopped taking Carole’s calls?

      Plus its not Chuck the Middleton’s should be terrified of but Harry – if they don’t back off from Meghan he will burn them. He’s free from the RF and their machinations; and he clearly has no more fks to give about any of them, the Middleton’s included. I strongly believe Harry has receipts on just how much Kate and her family were leaking to the press about Meghan.

      • JT says:

        Maybe Charles is giving them enough rope to hang themselves, but it also looks like he’s too afraid to push back.

      • BearcatLawyer says:

        I kind of feel like Harry and Meghan will never overtly drop receipts on Kate because they see that she is just as much a pawn in the system as they were and because attacking her might affect their niece and nephews and H&M’s relationships with them. Say what you will about Harry and Meghan, but they are smart enough not to inflict any more trauma on the Cambridge children.

        Now if they have receipts on Carole, Gary, William, Charles, or any other born in member of the Royal Family, that is an entirely different case. If the RF and the Middletons keep up this nonsense, it is only a matter of time before H&M hoist them on their own petards. You love to see it.

      • Digital Unicorn says:

        @Bearcat – I think that’s a mistake on their part as Kate is just as active in all of this as her family is. I agree that they would want to protect the Cambridge kids however that doesn’t mean that Kate gets a free pass, she shouldn’t. Kate can put out press releases denying botox and hair extensions but suddenly is unable to when its stories accusing Meghan of making her cry. Kate is a willing participant in the ‘system’, something she uses to her full advantage.

      • Maria says:

        Harry and Meghan are not going to prioritize the Cambridge children’s happiness over their own children’s safety and the longer these kinds of articles continue to stir up hate, their children are at greater risk.
        And I have never thought Harry was close to his niece and nephews anyway.
        Kate is not a pawn and I wish people would stop trying to give her this benefit of the doubt. If she wanted her uncle to stop talking she would make it happen.

      • notasugarhere says:

        This, Maria. She’s an active player in all of this, openly benefitting from her and her family’s anti-Meghan campaign for the last four years.

      • Maria says:

        Besides, Kate didn’t even take her kids to meet Archie for a couple of months. And that polo game where they were all together? Kate ignored Meghan and baby Archie, and all three of her kids did too. I don’t know about you but I often see young children get excited about a newborn cousin, so this is deliberate on the part of the Cambridges. The children are being fed a narrative about Harry and Meghan, too, along with the British press. I doubt either Harry or Meghan have any type of relationship at all with those kids.

      • Emmitt says:

        Harry & his family will be erased from the minds of the Cambridge children. The only thing those children will know about Harry is their father has a brother who shirked his responsibilities to the family and moved to America with his wife and *her* children. They will never regard Archie & his sister as their cousins. Charge it to the game.

        Two, Harry & Meghan aren’t blasting Kate, Queen*, Yorks etc because they’re pawns & they don’t really matter. The two causing them problems are Charles & William. If Kate & the Yorks want food in their bellies & roofs over their heads they will toe the party line. It is what it is.

        Three, Uncle Druggie is yammering about what a lowlife Meghan & Harry are because William & the Middletons have given him permission to speak. You don’t think if William (future future King) told Uncle Druggie to shut it he wouldn’t be quiet?

        Four, I hope Charles is giving Uncle Druggie and the Wisteria Family a long rope to hang themselves with because if he is too afraid to push back, he is in fact not fit to be King.

        *Queen is just a figurehead at this point, Charles has long been in charge. Harry knows this and that’s why he doesn’t harbor any ill will towards his grandmother.

        @maria: Louis didn’t ignore Meghan & Archie, he reached out to them. But he was too young to know he was supposed to ignore them. George & Charlotte got the message that they were to ignore Meghan & Archie, though. That’s why any tender calls for the brothers to reconcile so the cousins will know each other is silly because William’s children likely have been poisoned against Meghan’s children (because the Cambridges do not regard Archie as Harry’s child).

      • Maria says:

        Yes, Louis toddled up to Meghan briefly with the sunglasses. I’m pretty sure Kate put a stop to that which is why we have those pictures of her gripping him, lol.

      • Carmen-JamRock says:

        I strongly…..vehemently disagree with any suggestion tht H&M strategy to NOT respond to lowlifes like cokehead gary & any of the RotaRats has anything to do wth protecting kate or her sprogs. WTF!

        Understand this: H&M has a brand thts built on compassion and kindness. And a legacy to build for their kids, includi g keeping them safe.

        They CAN NOT any receiots more definitive than wht M already did in the O intvw regarding the fact tht it was wutliss gyal kHate who made her cry. M spk of a LETTER OF APOLOGY & flowers tht kHate gave her.

        Hvnt u noticed tht coke-out gary completely ignored the existrnce of hard evidence (apology ltr) tht it was kHate who was the culprit? And the racist aussies didnt bring tht up did they?

        So……no. The state of mind & welfare of W, K & kids are NOT a priority for H & M.

    • Becks1 says:

      Yeah something is going on here. The Middletons could shut up Uncle Gary if they wanted. He’s clearly doing this because he was given the go-ahead AND he was given very specific talking points. If my uncle started talking to people about how he wished my husband’s grandmother would die and his father should then be disinherited because I deserved it, I would have a talking-to with him REAL QUICK and tell him to shut the eff up because that’s so inappropriate and over the line. He’s said these things often enough that if the Midds wanted him to stop, they would make him stop.

      It just gives you the feeling that the Middletons are in full-on PR crisis mode – but why? It’s not just the crying story.

      • Jaded says:

        Becks1 — I think something pretty serious is about to break. William looks awful these days, he’s lost weight and constantly looks stressed out. Kate looks equally stressed out and her weight loss is worrying. They don’t seem to spend much time together and when they do their body language is stiff and lacking any familiarity or closeness, they barely look at each other.

        I won’t bother diving into a bunch of conspiracy theories, but where there’s smoke there’s fire.

      • Merricat says:

        There’s plenty of smoke. Hope we find out where it’s coming from.

  11. Sid says:

    What kind of info does Gary have on William, Kate, and the Middleton family that they’re allowing him to speak like this? I’m guessing he’s being paid a nice amount for these “interviews,” and if my memory is right he needs the money as he messed up his own businesses. But no matter how you look at it, having someone as sleazy as him be your mouthpiece is not a good look. And with the way Carole Middleton has shown herself to be rather high and mighty, you will never convince me she likes having this guy publicly linked to her maybe future queen daughter and king grandson. So what does he have on these folks? And if the Middletons actually want him speaking on their behalf, then good grief. There’s no one better in their circle that they can drag out? Says a lot about them.

    • LMR says:

      That’s what I don’t understand. Wouldn’t Carole be smarter than this? Is there some complicated strategy that I am missing?

  12. Mila says:

    Kate is worried she’ll be too wrinkly when she is queen to enjoy the pageantry and won’t be able to inject enough Botox to help 😂😂

    • Haylie says:

      Then it’s already too late.

    • ennie says:

      OF course she wants o be a young-ish queen. those necklaces won’t look as good on a wrinkled neck.

      • Maria says:

        Honestly I do think she is that vain. And Carole wants to be young enough to enjoy it too instead of in her 90’s.

      • Becks1 says:

        I do think its part of it. There’s lots of talk about what a good queen Kate will be (presumably because she’s young and thin), but she likely won’t be that young before she’s queen – she’ll probably be Carole’s age or so. Carole looks for her age but it’s not the same thing as what people are imagining IMO. And we all know how William is aging.

    • Cecilia says:

      I may sound crazy but maybe this whole “kate needs to be queen right now” is because the midds know kate won’t be queen? Y’all what is william is actually in a relationship?

      • Sid says:

        I’ve been saying since early last year that there were things William was doing with his public image that gave off a “doting single dad” vibe, like he was laying the groundwork for an eventual split. Nothing I’ve seen since then is changing my mind.

      • Becks1 says:

        You know, Harry has given William a perfect out here. William and Kate announce their separation, and William says that he was in therapy, processing all the trauma he’s experienced, and he’s realized what he wants from his life, and how he was manipulated by the Middletons who took advantage of his trauma, but now he’s working to overcome it and he has a clearer picture of things etc etc. He can even do it without bringing the Middletons really into it, unless they push back hard – just that he’s followed his brother’s advice, he’s been putting in the work in therapy, and now he needs to move in a new direction, Kate will always be a special part of his life, they have three children and they adore them, etc.

        I mean I”m just spitballing here, but if things are as bad in the House of Cambridge as some of us have suspected, that could explain Uncle Gary’s rantings.

      • Maria says:

        Becks – I think William could do that, and he would be smart to. But in my opinion he won’t. What he’ll do in that case is say that Harry leaving put so much pressure on his marriage that he and Kate split up – that the increased work and responsibilities and publicity and most of all, evil Meghan, made the Cambridge marriage crumble. This way he doesn’t have to bestir himself to throw the Middletons under the bus unless they refuse to behave, and he could possibly retain his relationship with the ones he likes (Carole etc). He won’t have to say anything else about his personal life. And the hate for Harry and Meghan will continue. All of those things would suit William just fine.

      • February-Pisces says:

        If there ever was a time for William to pull the plug on his marriage, now would be it. He could literally pass all the blame on to the middletons for driving harry away if he wanted. Maybe that’s why they are letting uncle Gary he openly sloppy.
        But the thing is William doesn’t make smart decisions.

        I think he’s still hung on up plan A, ‘make harry get divorced first’. If harry divorced meghan, then Willie dumps kate, harry will still look worse, which is all he wants in life. But the thing is harry and Meghan are grown ups, Willie and keen are not. Keen would publically drag his ass, and he would do the same back. They would be 100x worse than Charles and Diana.

      • Becks1 says:

        @Harper -I know, he’s not smart enough to do that. But IF he did want to get out of the marriage in the least messy way possible, that would be the way to do it.

        My guess though is that you’re pretty close to the mark and they’ll blame the increased work and responsibilities. I think if Kate pushes back they’ll just blame her for Sussexit completely (I think the crying story came directly from Camp Middleton and I think KP will put that out there.)

    • mimi says:

      That’s what my mother thinks too – that Carole Middleton wants to be alive to see her daughter be Queen also, Kate and William want it before they’re too old….there’s literally no talk about them preparing to be Prince and Princess of Wales, just King and Queen.

      • Anners says:

        Because of all the work she put in to get Kate there, or because she hopes once Kate is queen they will get knighted or titled or something? (Made legit aristocrats).

        Honest question – how much power will Kate actually have if she’s ever made queen? I mean, she’s only royal as long as she’s married to William, and he doesn’t strike me as someone who likes to share authority. Seems like a waste of time

  13. LaraW” says:

    Possibly not quite on point, but I was reminded of this poem:

    The man who misses all the fun,
    Is he who says, “It can’t be done.”
    In solemn pride he stands aloof
    And greets each venture with reproof. Had he the power he’d efface
    The history of the human race;
    We’d have no radio or motor cars,
    No streets lit by electric stars;
    No telegraph nor telephone,
    We’d linger in the Age of Stone.
    The world would sleep if things were run
    By men who say “It can’t be done.’’

  14. ABritGuest says:

    Lol even more proof that waiting for Harry at Philip funeral’s & playing the ‘peacemaker’ was about improving Kate’s image. The press practically demanded it days before. Royals really are like puppets on a string.

    It’s so weird how he’s out there advocating for his niece to be queen now. Assuming he’s going rogue must be nice that Kate doesn’t get the blame for what a rogue/distant relative says

  15. Nicole says:

    This is where I am bewildered as an American. Do the Britons not know that Americans really don’t care about royalty? A lot of us only really know it from a Disney, History, and Media perspective. We don’t the the “Divine Right of Kings”. The real American God is Money. If you got the money, most Americans have the time. Harry and Megs have the money. They live in California, which in and of itself, can be is its own universe. I say this as native Californian. Meghan has an entertainment background. Harry has a sh*t ton of connections. It makes sense as they step away that they utilize both. Why Britons are trying to whip up the American Right wing is just plain stupid. I would say the MAJORITY of Americans really don’t care how Meghan and Harrys actions impact the crown. I have read more Royal coverage on this website than any other place. And I just don’t get the frothing dislike of Meghan. Maybe it’s because I’m black too, but I’m largely of the opinion that they should get over it.

    “How Dare They Be Interviewed,” Says Man Being Interviewed

  17. Lauren says:

    This all stinks to me of William is getting ready to dump Kate. Charles knows and just wants the Middletons to make fools of themselves so when the time comes the whole family can be thrown under the bus as a threat to the monarchy. Who knows with these people though?

    • Christina says:

      Interesting theory, Lauren! I’m with you. Uncle Gary is trying to get the country to insists he stay married to her. He’s trying to make her Diana. The plot was upset when the British press made Meghan their “Diana” because they couldn’t write about Will’s gardening expeditions with Rose Hanbury.

  18. MsIam says:

    Kate and William’s junk yard attack dog. I’m sure Harry and Meghan are laughing at him as they lay by their pool in Montecito.

  19. Soupie says:

    I’ve seen what else is bonkers besides this incredible b.s. from one Gary Goldsmith, there’s another horrible site with horrible people and bots claiming that Meghan is going to use receipts against Harry about his “confessions” and that she’s trying to bring down the monarchy, all so she can live in luxury on Harry’s dime, without him. Seriously, people believe that shi-.

    As for Gary Goldsmith, he THINKS it’s not the way the world works. No, Gary, unfortunately people like you won’t shut their yap thinking that your way is the way the world works. Why can’t we just muzzle these disgusting people??

  20. lanne says:

    I’m laughing at whoever thought this was a good strategy. All Uncle Gary can do is inflame the crazies who are already haters—so that the crazies can be more vocal in their love of Kate? The right wing loons may very well be the friends the Cambridges have, but they sure aren’t the friends the Cambridges want or need.

  21. Tashiro says:

    I don’t think Will and Kate are remotely interested in taking the thrown any time soon. I think they hope Charles will live as long as his parents. To have this guy as your mouthpiece is not good. Unless W&K are totally stupid I can’t believe they are giving him permission to “speak” on their behalf. I think they are cringing with every word. He’s just adding fuel to the fire which doesn’t help them.

    • Maria says:

      If they could bypass Charles they would. They want that status and power and money (of course not the work).. They are sending Gary out to do this intentionally. After all, Gary helped fund Kate’s pursuit of William. And she and William stayed at his sex-and-drug trafficking villa before they married, and also on his yacht.

    • MsIam says:

      If Will and Kate didn’t want him speaking he wouldn’t. Otherwise they would leak through the press or outright put out a statement that he doesn’t speak for them and then Carole would privately tell him to stfu. Uncle Ratchet is doing their dirty work for them, trust and believe. After all “elegant” men like William can’t get their hands dirty, can they?

  22. Jay says:

    Imagine calling others out as attention seeking muppets by…posting a rant on your personal LinkedIn page. I don’t know why, but that’s the part of the story I’m stuck on!

    And the Middletons are treading dangerously close to some uncomfortable territory by sanctioning this “keen to be queen” conversation. It doesn’t look good on any of them.

    • BearcatLawyer says:

      Really professional behaviour. Not the way I would want to attract customers or investors, but maybe this is how things work in Gary’s fantasy world.

    • Nina says:

      This reeks of the desperation of the whole Middleton clan. They expected that Keen marriage would elevate them into the aristocracy. Titles would follow and they will be the kingmakers. All and sundry will have to bow down to them.

      The proof of the Crown power was evident by how Diana’s family was frozen out after she died, even though her brother gave that pledge at her funeral of being there for her boys.

      If Carole had done her proper research she would have realized that acceptance into that group is based on blood, not marrying up. Some of them are more royal than the Windsors and the latter needs them to have continued legitimacy. Her lack of comprehension about how things work in those circles was evidenced by her and Keen’s attempts to freeze out Rose.

    I’m curious about all this.
    The daily puff pieces about Kate.
    The interviews by Gary.
    The fact that Kate is only joining William on this Scotland trip today even while his big speech mentioned her and she was absent.
    The deleted tweets about William and reporters.
    How sickly William looks.

    Something ain’t right. Well, a lot of things aren’t, but it looks like more so than usual.

    Uncle Cokey running around international TV embiggening Kate? Something tells me the Middletons/Boleyns are running scared. The BRF are mad at the Sussexes but I bet it is REALLY mad at the Middletons for leaving tracks of their contributions to the smear campaign. The Sussexes may have receipts which probably why Meghan brought up Cry-gate with Oprah. The Windsor name is mud in part due to the Middletons. Uncle Gary is trying to save them from a fall

  25. Lizzie says:

    Guess who else is a self made millionaire? Media will never describe Meghan that way though. No, the midds are so proud of the wife beater making millions but everyone is silent about Meghan.

  26. Lee says:

    How is he different than Thomas Markle Jr. or Samantha. He is worse. The Markles have the excuse of being trashy vulgar Americans.
    Where is the eye rolling British media regarding this loose cannon.

  27. Alicia says:

    Agree with you. It’s so WEIRD that they’re letting him speak publicly like this.

    I mean, British class snobbery alone makes him a liability. There’s nothing wrong with being working class and having a working class accent. But the British upper classes DO view people lower down the social class scale with contempt. It’s horrible but that’s the reality of it.

    Uncle Gary’s accent and mannerisms alone are enough to taint Kate by association. And as for his vulgar comments about Harry & Meghan and about Kate needing to be queen now, how on earth do the Middletons think this serves their cause?

    He’s reinforcing that old theme of the Middletons being crass upstarts.

  28. Malificent says:

    Am I confusing Uncle Gary with another relative? Or, were he and his daughter invited to the church for Pippa’s wedding, but not invited to the big reception afterwards? If so, and he was that snubbed what’s in it for him to be a Middleton mouthpiece?

    • Nic919 says:

      No you are correct. Uncle Gary was only invited to some part of the wedding ceremony and reception but not all of it. So why they are letting him make these interviews is an interesting question. It reeks of desperation by Carole though. Especially the skipping Charles part. That’s throwing down a gauntlet very foolishly.

  29. February-Pisces says:

    I said that the ‘skip a generation’ campaign that happened around the time kate got married and when George was born was from the middletons. They have been pushing this narrative since the wedding. I think Ma thought kate would immediately be elevated to Diana superstar levels and they would become royals themselves but nothing has planned out. Kate is a dud duchess, the public think she’s dull, the royals and aristocracy have no time for them, and they need a return on their investment cos the cash has dried up.

    Charles hasn’t done anything about the middletons but instead focuses on ruining Meghan who did nothing to him. I do think he’s probably letting them be openly sloppy to solidify his case that they have been trying to snatch the throne from him. Uncle Gary’s statement that ‘Kate needs to be queen now’ confirms that.

    I just wish that Willie, Charles, keen and the midds just hurry up and turn on each other already, and leave harry and Meghan out of their sloppiness.

  30. Hannah says:

    “Not the way the world works” = Uncle Gary is nostalgic for Victorian racism / colonialism.

  31. Mindy_Dopple says:

    I agree with all commenters here, this is truly bizarre and I can’t believe it hasn’t been shut down by Charles. This goes to show you that he CAN NOT reign in his own son and his daughter in laws family. The Middletons will not stand by while Kate is being rightfully criticized which is kind of sweet in a deranged tunnel vision for the thrown way. They have their own interests and will not comply with whatever KP asks of them because they’re using William as a shield. The Midds have him in their pocket, either by brainwashing or by actual cheating/child out of wedlock receipts. I wouldn’t put it past them to let him wander around and have receipts to whip him into line when it suits them. This is what we put up with, this is what we’ll get in return.

    • Sid says:

      I tend to think that the posters who are saying Charles is letting it go on in order to gather receipts in the event of a Cambridge split might be on to something. If those two ever split up, the BRF and the BM will go all in to portray William as a victim of the tacky, grasping Middleton’s machinations dating all the way back to university. Gary’s current rantings will be one more receipt on the pile.

    • Merricat says:

      Lol. Scheming Middletons < PrinceWho Has Waited His Whole Life to be King. What the Midds have done is set themselves up, but not for a coup d'etat–treason. If they think Charles will let them skip his reign when he's waited so long for it, they're seriously under-informed as to what he is capable of doing.

    • Emmitt says:

      Charles made sure to reign in Meghan’s friends so if he wants to shut people down he can.

  32. Amy Bee says:

    According to the Kate stans, Kate no longer has a relationship with Uncle Gary. But he just happens to spouting the same Middleton talking points. Nah, Kate and Carole have given him permission to speak for them as they have been told by the Palace that the Queen wants all discussions to be private.

    • ABritGuest says:

      Yeah as someone said above it’s suspect that the press don’t seem to be asking KP for comment & no source is distancing KP or the Middletons from his many interviews at this point.

    • notasugarhere says:

      Oh, poor Kate stans are wrong again. She’s close with dodgy uncle, always has been always will be. Kate lobbied the abused wife to go back to Uncle Gary just a couple years ago.

  33. Snuffles says:

    No one is on the same page anymore and they’ve all gone rogue. William and Charles aren’t on the same page. William and Kate aren’t on the same page. Possibly the Kate and Uncle Gary aren’t on the same page. The Queen is probably largely checked out and going through the motions.

    And the royal rota have the nerve to insist that Harry is missing being a part of this hot mess.

  34. Midge says:

    The Middletons are social climbing trash who are trying to usurp power from Charles. I truly hope the monarchy collapsing before Kate becomes Queen.

  35. Mabs A'Mabbin says:

    Hang onto your pinstripes mutherf@cker, the way the world works…is every way. And it will come knocking probably sooner than later. Who will have the last laugh? I’ll give you a hint:. It’s a short list.

  36. Cheslsea says:

    Uh, yeah. I am not going to put a lot of value into what someone who, checks notes, goes around peeing in public, has to say. About anything.

  37. L4frimaire says:

    Why does anyone care what this low rent loser thinks? Does he have some money to launder or something? Does he speak for the Firm now or is he replacing Jason? Best of Britain right there.
