Prince William and Kate Middleton find themselves on edge once again as they brace for yet another potential crisis within their carefully crafted public image.
This time, the source of concern arises from an unexpected corner of their family tree - Kate's uncle, Gary Goldsmith, who is set to make his debut on a reality television series.
Gary Goldsmith, known for his outspoken nature and infamous for his past controversies, is among the contestants of the upcoming Celebrity Big Brother series, where every moment of his time will be documented for the world to see. While reality television often thrives on drama and scandal, the prospect of Gary airing familial grievances and potentially divulging sensitive information about the royal family has sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace and the Middleton household alike.
Former BBC royal correspondent, Jennie Bond, voiced her apprehensions over Gary's participation in the reality show, expressing doubts that it has the blessing of anyone within the Middleton or Royal Family circles. "I think it’s a dreadful idea and I can’t imagine that it has the blessing of anyone in the Middleton or Royal Family," she told OK! magazine.
Bond highlighted Gary's past animosity towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, further exacerbating concerns about what he might reveal once the cameras start rolling. "Gary will be under intense pressure in the house to spill the beans and ANYTHING he says, however innocent, will make the headlines. And those are not the kind of headlines anyone in the family will welcome," she explained.
The royal expert emphasized the meticulous efforts Prince William and Kate have undertaken to carefully manage their public image, particularly in terms of communication. She stressed that they would not want Gary to act as their spokesperson, fearing that his unpredictable nature could overshadow their carefully curated PR strategy.
