Gary Goldsmith, an uncle to the Duchess of Cambridge and featured contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, has been sharing candid remarks about the royal family, sparking interest among viewers. Describing Prince William as “very normal,” he relayed an anecdote about being offered tea by William during a family visit where Catherine was cooking. Goldsmith credited William and Kate for prioritizing family and projected them as the future saviours of the monarchy. However, his comments on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry carry a critical tone, suggesting Meghan’s influence has introduced drama and accusing Harry of conflicting actions by criticizing his family while seeking familial closeness during holidays.
In other royal news, Norway’s King Harald, aged 87, will undergo pacemaker surgery following an infection he contracted during a vacation in Malaysia. Currently receiving treatment at Rikshospitalet in Oslo, King Harald’s health is reportedly improving. The royal family, including Queen Sonja and Crown Prince Haakon, have been visiting him in the hospital. His surgery is scheduled for early next week.
The relationship between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the broader royal family continues to generate public interest, highlighted by Harry’s recent UK visit without Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet. This absence has ignited speculation about the frequency of the children’s visits to the UK and their interaction with relatives, especially considering the family’s relocation to the US following their step back from official royal duties. A professor, Pauline Maclaran, suggested the upcoming Invictus Games anniversary could provide an opportunity for the royal children to visit the UK and foster familial bonds, prompting discussions and opinions on the matter.
