Kate Middleton’s Uncle Is the ‘Black Sheep’ of Her Family

Despite him being on a TV show full of famous people, not much is known about Goldsmith, with fears that he could reveal too much about the British royal family on the show.

Hello! Magazine has reported that Goldsmith is Catherine’s mother, Carole Middleton’s, brother, but that they aren’t as close as you might presume. 

He works for and has founded several recruitment businesses and states that his business gets “fast tracks to success.”

He has been married to sales executive Miranda Foote and his second marriage was to Luan, whom he shares a daughter with. He was then married another two times to Julia Leake and Julie-Ann Brown.

Brown had accused Goldsmith of taking drugs, which was when he punched her and she ended up in the hospital. Goldsmith pleaded guilty and received a 12-month community order with 20 sessions of a rehabilitation order, as well as being ordered to pay £5,000 ($6,361), alongside a £170 ($216) victim surcharge and £85 ($108) in prosecution costs, according to The Independent.

Goldsmith also told the journalist that he could set him up with some sex workers and that he’s really close to the royal family, resulting in Prince William having to keep him at arm’s length. 

As an example, at Pippa Middleton’s wedding in 2017, Goldsmith was only invited to the ceremony but was not invited to the wedding reception afterward.

While in the house, he had made promises to not talk about the royal family on the show, something that Catherine and her family were likely very happy about.

Michael and Carole Middleton reportedly told Goldsmith that he cannot talk about the royals, with them not wanting Catherine to have any added stress after her recent abdominal surgery.

However, after he entered the “Celebrity Big Brother” house on March 4, 2024, it showed that Goldsmith had not respected their wishes — as he didn’t have their blessing and still went in anyway. 

He says that he feels Meghan is to blame for them leaving the royal family and the U.K. and that she “rewrote history” by making Harry claim he was “so unhappy.” This was said in a clip on TalkTV. 

The Sun reported that Goldsmith had auditioned for “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” for the 2023 series but had been rejected by TV bosses because they were worried he would embarrass Princess Catherine.

However, with his controversial past proving to be an issue with the public and the Middletons not giving their blessing, Goldsmith’s first TV move may not work out in the way he may have hoped it would.
