Gary Goldsmith: Princess Kate will be seen at Easter, the palace has been ‘transparent’

In this week’s Gossip With Celebitchy podcast (which comes out this weekend!), CB and I had a minor debate about whether Kensington Palace released the Mother’s Day Frankenphoto as a reaction to the Sussexes’ successful and well-received trip to Texas. I think the Sussexes were, as always, a factor in the palace’s calculations, but I failed to mention another theory. That theory? That KP went into overdrive to create a counternarrative because Kate’s horrible uncle was saying all kinds of sh-t on Celebrity Big Brother, then Uncle Gary was the first one evicted from the CBB house and he kept on giving interviews. Interviews which have barely gotten any attention because everyone in the UK is obsessively following KP’s fiasco. Something to consider! As for Gary Goldsmith, he spoke to Nigel Farage at GB News (one of the most cursed sentences in the English language).

Gary Goldsmith has said he believes his niece Kate Middleton will definitely return to public duties at Easter. Following abdominal surgery, Kate has remained out of the public eye for two months as she recovers. It comes as royal insiders claim that The Princess of Wales, 42, is recovering well and will be back by Easter.

Gary appeared on Thursday’s GB News with Nigel Farage following his short-lived stint on Celebrity Big Brother where he chatted about his family. He said of Kate’s recent health issues: ‘I think she has the best support on the planet, she has the best people looking after her. They [The Palace} have said we would see her at Easter and nothing has changed since that! They have been very transparent.’

He added that he was shocked when Kate revealed it was in fact her that had edited the Mother’s Day picture of her with her three children. Gary said: ‘I did say when it came out the photo ‘there’s not a chance in hell she photoshopped them herself’ and then it came out that she did!’

Gary also spoke on GB News about his experience in the Celebrity Big Brother house. He said: ‘I wanted to change perceptions. I’m not a celebrity really. Looking back I looked so uncomfortable in those first few days in the house but everything is down to an edit. But it was the best thing I’ve ever done. It was a sneak peak at the celebrity life. They were hoping I would win that vote and not get kicked out!’

Gary spilled royal secrets in the Big Brother house which have ‘infuriated’ his family, as his niece Kate recovers from abdominal surgery. Despite leaving some viewers cringing with his behaviour, Gary insisted in his exit interview that he ‘achieved his agenda’ while living in the house. Speaking in his first interview on Late & Live, he said: ‘I’ve had the best time, I went in with one agenda and I’ve achieved it in five days. I don’t consider myself to be a celebrity, I just happen to be related to someone who is a big celebrity.’

[From The Daily Mail]

I don’t have the time or patience to track the ever-evolving predictions for when and where the Princess of Wales will reappear. Going from memory, my recollection is that the official timeline was always “after Easter,” and then it morphed into “she’ll probably take off for her kids’ Easter holiday too” and then “well, she’ll probably be back by Trooping the Colour in June” and currently, sources are insisting that Kate will rise like Wiglet Christ Superstar on Easter Sunday. Whatever plan they had for Kate’s relaunch, the events of the past week have multiple people, including Uncle Gary, insisting that she’ll be seen ON Easter. Sure.

Re: the Mother’s Day Frankenphoto, in several interviews, Gary insisted that it was real and “genuine” and “beautiful.” On Good Morning Britain, he also admitted that he hasn’t spoken to Kate in a while: “I haven’t spoken to Kate for ages. Years, maybe a year,” he said, adding that he typically only sees her at “weddings and funerals.” He also said that he hasn’t spoken to anyone in the Middleton clan since he was evicted from the CBB house. Do you believe him?

    So…remind me again…what is the definition of a “working royal”?

  2. Melly says:

    I believe no one in the Middleton clan is talking to him right now. He’s a loose cannon and clearly loves giving interviews

    • ML says:

      His ability to leak to the RR has him fitting in well with the RF though…

    • BlueNailsBetty says:

      I absolutely believe Gary hasn’t seen Kate in years. If he believes this load of crap the rota has been shoveling at us then he knows nothing about anyone in the Middleton family and the royal family.

  3. Michelle says:

    I’ve got nothing on this goofus, but I have to say that I laugh every time I see that photo of Kate “on the phone” with the Penguin classics facing her. It’s almost as hilarious as the pie chart photo.

    • Liz says:

      I think this grifter is about as trustworthy as his sister. Another scammer.

    • Snaggletooth says:

      This is exactly the type of crap that predicted the current fiasco, and frankly it’s a great example of the if-there’s-smoke-there’s-fire principle. For all we know they take Kate back to a locked cell after hauling her out for a photo like this. All this photo tells us is that they have zero qualms about faking everything about the “work” they supposedly do and revealing nothing about the lives they actually lead.

    • Smart&Messy says:

      Busy Kate on the phone is hilarious. In between “important phone calls” and “editing groundbreaking new information into charts” she will pop open a first edition of Jane Eyre. And then can’t help but wonder if they still make those.

    • KC says:

      Those are my favorite editions of Jane Austin (and the Brontes too I believe) but how weird she has them at her play pretend desk. Look! I read English lady literature! Even though I probably have access to beautifully bound first editions of all these books. Please pick me up a suit that goes with my full set of Penguin classics so I can look smart on the phone. So fucking weird.

  4. sparrow says:

    As you’ll know Mr Sparrow calls Kate Middleton “that bloody woman”. Talk of her is met with rolled eyes. However, he came home from work last night saying the agencies and the photo scam had been on radio 4 in the car. We got talking about the honesty of it all. I said I’ve been convinced they’re lying and the abdominal surgery is actually far worse, I think she’s got serious complications. He says, abdominal makes me think hernia, but that doesn’t take overly long. He laughed about me thinking it was her nose in the pap shot, laughed louder about “was it the back of her head and the right bricks” in the appt photo. said “a video of vehicles rushing to a supposed hospital” is bollocks in credibility. But we both agreed – there has been little to no honesty here and should it ever be revealed that the illness wasn’t that bad and they were just at each other’s throats about a divorce, faith in the BRF will evaporate. I asked him whether he felt sorry for Kate – he said yes and no. Yes, if she’s ill and he’s having affairs, but no essentially no. He’s crossed paths with the “hard faced” mother and says she forced her into it but she was a willing victim. As he went off to do the recycling I shouted out “someone called Dee posted, wasn’t it ironic the photo blew up on the day Anne was at a summit on fraud”. I could hear him chuckling away outside! So, no Gary. If someone as uninterested as my partner thinks you’re lying, the palace’s “transparency” hasn’t resonated very well.

    • Snaggletooth says:

      We are still within the Easter timeline, aka the timeline for her reappearance the public is most familiar with. They better produce her by then. Or else a lot more people who once sounded like Mr. Sparrow will slowly start to sound like Ms. Sparrow lol.

  5. equality says:

    Did he say he was related to a “celebrity”? So much for the royals thinking they are above mere celebs.

  6. Amy Bee says:

    Kate will probably come back in time for Wimbledon and then go back on vacation for two months.

  7. Brassy Rebel says:

    Wiglet Christ Superstar. 😆😂🤣 Stop you’re killing me!

    And if he hasn’t spoken to anyone, how does he know when she’ll be back? Or is he just repeating the original timeline? He’s such a a fool.

  8. Elizabeth says:

    So Gary Goldsmith likely hasn’t seen Kate since 2018? Wow, they are so close! I guess she has no use for him since he’s no longer bankrolling her pursuit of William. And he clearly doesn’t have the money to bail his sister out.

    • Becks1 says:

      RIGHT? Weddings and funerals, he hasn’t talked to her in years?? so I’m sure his insider gossip is really credible….

    • Dee(2) says:

      I was thinking maybe her brother’s wedding the one that supposedly her and William attended but there’d be no pictures released. Still though that doesn’t put you in the inner sanctum because that was in what 2021, maybe 2022?

  9. Becks1 says:

    People don’t think the palace has been transparent because nothing has been adding up. If Kate is well enough to make her great return at Easter, in two weeks, then why couldn’t they use a real picture of her last week? What do they expect to change in those three weeks?

    Also Wiglet Christ Superstar is just killing me.

    • ML says:

      Considering the news on that is All. Over. The. Place, we can’t take Easter seriously at this point, no? Yesterday, we learned that even her senior staff haven’t been able to see or hear her. Who is pushing the Easter return then?

      • equality says:

        With how they emphasized “hear her”, I am beginning to think the people saying her jaw is wired shut are correct.

    • Jais says:

      If she’s making her great return at Easter, why did William throw the military under the bus to say she might not make Trooping this year?

      • Shawna says:

        Because (eyeroll) only KP announces Kate’s schedule! Kaiser, can you put a reminder on your calendar to write about what it signals retroactively when Trooping comes and she is or isn’t there?

  10. ML says:

    “As for Gary Goldsmith, he spoke to Nigel Farage at GB News (one of the most cursed sentences in the English language).” 🤣

    Gary and info: conceivably, he might have some. I haven’t seen certain Trumpy family members in years, but the family grape vine is pretty powerful.

    I found this interesting: “Gary said: ‘I did say when it came out the photo ‘there’s not a chance in hell she photoshopped them herself’ and then it came out that she did!’” I tend to view K as incompetent, but I also don’t think she was responsible for that fiasco. He seemed to think that was someone else’s work than his niece’s and I’m wondering if it’s because he knows how she photoshops pix.

  11. Izzy says:

    “sources are insisting that Kate will rise like Wiglet Christ Superstar on Easter Sunday” is the most amazing thing I’ve read on this site, and that’s saying something because this site is the gift that keeps on giving to us.

  12. SCAR❤️❤️❤️❤️ says:

    Hey I just noticed. Aren’t those hair plugs on Gary’’s head? Pretty sure that man was bald.

    • Sum says:

      I think that’s a toupee. You could very well be right about hairplugs. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Gary.

  13. Olivia says:

    Yes, this is why I struggle to believe Kate had a real medical issue.

    Whenever anyone in the public eye is faced with a scandal, they disappear for a while. Literally EVERYONE does it. And the BRF do it too, it’s just never failed so spectacularly!

    If you watched carefully, before she disappeared, Kate followed the standard techniques a PR pro might advise – such as wearing all white after ‘royal racist’ came out (it makes you appear vulnerable and pure).

    I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole thing was just supposed to be Kate laying low until everyone lost interest in her uncle. And that she probably used the time to get a facelift. Announcing it was ‘abdominal surgery’ was just an attempt to garner sympathy, which is part of the PR strategy. Suggesting it was at the same time and place as the King’s medical issue was a convenience.

    But the William tried to use Kate’s absence as an excuse to take time off for himself.

    William and his team made a complete mess of something simple, by completely miscalculating the public’s demand for transparency.

    I really hope my theory is correct and that Kate isn’t a victim of DV for trying to leave Will.

    • sevenblue says:

      That doesn’t explain all the weirdness from Will. Also, the future Queen got turned into a global laughing stock, their fake pic is now a meme. There is a reason why she is still in hiding. Also, the weird pic TMZ got of her and her mom. If that was her, she didn’t look alright.

      • Shawna says:

        Until proven otherwise, I’m going to believe that was actually Kate’s real face photographed last week. And something puffed her face up.

    • Tessa says:

      William never seemed to need excuses to take time off.

  14. Tessa says:

    Maybe ferg ie and Andrew and Camilla children and ex husband would be used to distract if kate is not there at easter

  15. Eurydice says:

    I don’t think he knows what transparent means. And he outright admits he doesn’t know anything else, either.

  16. Shoegirl77 says:

    Just pretty much choked and snorted my tea at Wiglet Christ Superstar, so thanks for that, Kaiser 😭🤣🤣

  17. DetachedObserver says:

    Keen’s drunkle doesn’t know jack. He’s just “squeezing the-pips” to milk his remaining 3 minutes of infamy.

  18. TarteAuCitron says:

    What secrets? Gary didn’t say anything new or interesting in CBB.

  19. Bettyrose says:

    You know what this scandal needs? A dodgy uncle going rogue and contradicting official statements.

  20. MJM says:

    I actually believe Gary. All this speculation that Kate is missing and presumed dead is so stupid. She will emerge all buttoned and bewigleted with a tighter face and the internet explosion around her mysterious whereabouts will deflate like a balloon.

  21. aquarius64 says:

    If it comes out Kate has a facelift and returns at Easter the backlash will be fierce. Waity had people all over the world thinking she’s been abused or worse. Having cosmetic surgery and milking it will not end well for her.

    • Bettyrose says:

      ITA! If this is all merely about vanity, it will reflect very badly on her. They should have said she’s resting at a spa and had frequent updates from her. Smiling pics of the kids (real ones) showing all is well in their world while mom gets upgraded.

    • WiththeAmerican says:

      I’m hearing this from people who don’t care about the RF, “she’ll come back all lifted and then the real backlash will begin”

      Also who was claiming royals don’t do fillers, look at her lips compared to when she was young ans had literally no upper lip. Botox is obvious, but they denied that even though she can’t knit her brows together. So of course they’d lie to cover up a facelift.

  22. Lady Digby says:

    What annoys me is interviewers not following up GG’s admission that he hasn’t seen Kate in years (& the same for Scammy) why do either them give paid interviews to talk about well known relatives that they no longer see? What gives them the right to talk for a female family member estranged from them?

  23. /mary Pester says:

    He’s right about one thing, he’s not A celebrity, he’s a liar and a hanger on that will trade on his name till Charlie croaks. Got nothing else on him accept I believe he and farage were separated at birth!!
    @KAISER, Check out news international x

  24. Lau says:

    You know that Carole would love the Christ Easter Sunday comeback narrative.

  25. what's inside says:

    One liar lending credence to another.

  26. Grandma Susan says:

    Had to go looking. Here’s what I found, “Your jaws will be wired together approximately six to eight weeks. This is the time it takes for the bones to heal in a good, strong union. During the time your jaws are wired together, you will find eating, talking and other daily activities somewhat difficult.”
    That would account for the time of silence and disappearance. I really think she is a victim of DV and Heuvos Rageros is falling apart in case he is charged.

    • Beverley says:

      An American here. Can a royal be charged with a crime? For some reason, I thought they were held above the law, being anointed by god and all that. I may have read somewhere that the police need permission to enter palace grounds and can’t get warrants to search without permission from the monarch.

      If Peg laid hands on Kate, would charges actually be brought?

      • Interested Gawker says:

        One tantalizing theory I came across was, yes William can be charged with a crime as POW but should CIII die and William ascends then he would be protected from prosecution as the Sovereign. Pushing the date back for Kate’s reappearance might be William’s ‘get out of jail free card’ too should Charles be more badly off than they are saying. It might be why William floated not returning to public duties during her convalescence in the very beginning, lay low until he could beat the rap…

      • Jaded says:

        Only the reigning monarch is exempt from criminal prosecution, but it would be easy enough to have him/her pilloried publicly to the point where they mostly withdraw from public life.

  27. Sum says:

    If Gary honestly hasn’t spoken to them in ages I want to know what happened. Is Gary Caroles MAN and not Kate’s. Meaning he works for his big sister. Did Gary really go rogue with the Meghan Talk? Everyone assumed it was Middleton approved but what if it was just Carole?

    Gary is still owed “something” for bankrolling the Middletons. What if Carole told him to make some money off Meghan? I can see Kate cutting him off for going rogue.
    I still, however, believe they all talk to each other.

  28. Bravo says:

    If anyone believes him I have a bridge to sell you.
    He doesn’t talk to them but uses all their talking points? Mmkay. Sure.
    He wouldn’t go near BB if he didn’t have their permission. And all those guest articles in the DM? Don’t make me laugh.

  29. Lisa R says:

    THIS is why you do not allow the Heir-to-the-Throne to marry a commoner. It is already difficult to keep the married-in behaving properly. Throw their relatives into the mix, and you have a potential disaster. At least the aristos have been properly vetted, know the rules, and generally stay within them.

    Also, I want all future photos of K to show her feet so we can see if any one of them has been put wrong.
