Kate Middleton’s ‘black sheep’ uncle Gary Goldsmith is ‘being lectured’ by Princess of Wales’ ‘furious’ mother over fears he could reveal royal secrets to Celebrity Big Brother, with sources saying it could embarrass The Firm to take

Kate Middleton’s ‘black sheep’ uncle Gary Goldsmith has been scolded by the Princess of Wales’s parents after he reportedly signed up to Celebrity Big Brother amid fears he could reveal secrets about the royal family, sources claim.

The outspoken businessman, who is the brother of Kate’s mother Carole Middleton, was today spotted doing some last-minute shopping before the celebrity edition of the series returns to our screens after a six-year absence.

Goldsmith, 58, is rumored to have struck a substantial deal with ITV bosses to take part in the show which starts on Monday night.

His appearance in the Big Brother house is sure to cause The Firm another headache, amid speculation about Kate’s whereabouts as she continues to recover from abdominal surgery.

It also comes as King Charles continues treatment for cancer and the royal family mourns the loss of Thomas Kingston, the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.

An insider said The sun: ‘Gary said he had the riot act read by Kate’s mother Carole and her father Michael.

‘They’re not happy about him going on Celebrity Big Brother. It’s infuriating for them. Kate doesn’t need this stress.’

The source claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan – who Goldsmith has attacked in the past – could be in the line of fire.

The source said that ‘black sheep’ Goldsmith did not have his family’s permission to enter the house, but did so anyway. The businessman is said to have told friends that he will not do anything to hurt Kate or William.

In photos obtained by The Mirror, Goldsmith was seen trying on a selection of smart suits at chic tailor Kerrs in London’s Soho before leaving with them in a garment bag.

Possibly as a nod to his famous niece, the brand has previously created numerous outfits for the princess, the publication said.

The Sun also imagined Goldsmith arriving at the ITV studios in London on Sunday, ahead of his rumored entry into the house. He was seen leaving a black Audi with a suitcase and wearing a navy blue cap, jeans, a gray hoodie and a leather jacket.

He walked into the building with two silver suitcases and a suit carrier.

Goldsmith tried to land a place on I’m A Celebrity last year but was turned down because he feared it could embarrass William and Kate.

He previously spoke out against Harry and Meghan following the release of Spare and is known for his ‘strong’ opinions about the couple.

Royal experts have previously criticized the decision to welcome him to the Celebrity Big Brother house, calling the move ’embarrassing’ and potentially ‘dangerous’ for the royal family during a testing period.

Royal author Angela Levin told The Sun: ‘I find it cringe, very embarrassing, the problem is he doesn’t like Harry and Meghan at all, some of these comments are going to land on Catherine and she’s had a lot against her, she’s not well , she’s in the hospital.

‘I think when you come out of surgery you are quite vulnerable and this could upset her enormously. People who don’t like her could basically say that she encouraged him to do that, but she wouldn’t have done that.

‘It’s very embarrassing. It’s very difficult to be a royal, and I don’t know if this is a good idea.’

Show insiders say producers are happy to have secured Goldsmith as a contestant because of his ties to the royal family – and his tendency to speak his mind, especially about Kate’s brother-in-law, Prince Harry.

Goldsmith has reportedly signed up for the ITV reboot alongside Loose Women’s Linda Robson and X Factor judges Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne.

ITV bosses have reportedly been keeping an eye on Goldsmith – who a year ago, writing for the Mail, dismissed Harry’s autobiography Spare as ‘prickly, egotistical…fluff’.

His I’m A Celeb audition ended in failure, reportedly because bosses were concerned about his potential to embarrass the royal family, but CBB chiefs believe his brusque, shoot-from-the- hip’ style of candid talking suits the format of TVs. most infamous house.

Goldsmith was a guest at William and Kate’s wedding in 2011. He made his money building an IT recruitment company but has been embroiled in scandals including a drug photo in Ibiza.

He was also arrested in October 2017 after allegedly attacking his fourth wife, Julie-Ann, outside their central London home.

Goldsmith punched her to the ground after she accused him of taking drugs during a drunken fight outside their home in the early hours of October 13, 2017.

The Met said at the time of his arrest: ‘Police in Westminster were called to an address at 1.24am on Friday October 13 following reports of a domestic incident.

‘Officers have arrested a 52-year-old man on suspicion of domestic violence.

‘He has been taken to a police station in central London for questioning.

“A woman who was found injured has been taken to hospital.”

He later pleaded guilty to assault by beating and was fined £5,000 and given a 12-month community order with 20 rehabilitation sessions.

He has since attacked what he sees as insults to his family, including his niece and William, including episodes of The Crown, royal biographer Omid Scobie’s book Endgame and Harry’s memoir Spare.

Last night The Sun reported that Osbourne will be paid £100,000 a day for the five days she is there.

The former X Factor judge, 71, reportedly won’t stay for the full 17 days, as insiders said for which her fee was too expensive ITV.

The publication claims that ITV struck a £500,000 deal with her to enter the house for a short period of time after they found her fee for the entire three-week series too expensive.

A source told the publication: ‘Bosses have done everything they can to get Sharon and have ultimately reached a deal she is happy with.

“Sharon will add plenty of drama, but without her original price tag it just wasn’t feasible.

“Producers can’t wait to see her reunite with Louis and know it will be TV gold.”

Representatives for ITV and Sharon have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

A spokesperson for Celebrity Big Brother subsequently told MailOnline: ‘All names are pure speculation at this time and viewers will have to tune in to see who enters the Celebrity Big Brother house.’

Celebrity Big Brother starts on March 4 on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player.
