Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith discussed about Royal family's dynamics during the premiere of Celebrity Big Brother UK Season 23. He shared that it was "really sad" when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals.
Goldsmith was asked by fellow contestant Louis Walsh if he was permitted to talk about Royal family members in the Big Brother House. The brother of the Princess of Wales' mom Carole Middleton responded saying, "I can pretty much say my opinion about everything unless there's a red laser dot on my chest."
Goldsmith, who operates a recruitment company, is among the 13 celebrities who entered the house live on ITV1 when the 23rd season began on Monday night.

“You can’t throw your family under the bus, write books about it, and then expect to be invited around for Christmas," he said referring to Harry's tell-all Spare.
The release of Harry's memoir Spare last year sparked a wave of unfavorable global headlines for the royal family, as the duke divulged sensitive information about his associations with his father, King Charles, and brother Prince William.
“At some point, I think he’s going to come back and be part of the gang," he continued.
Calling the UK a “very forgiving” nation, the Big Brother contestant said he believes everyone will give him a chance to reunite with the family.

Recalling the first time he met Kate, Goldsmith described the Princess of Wales as “simply perfect”.
“The first time I met William, Catherine was cooking and William said, ‘Hi, do you want a cup of tea?’ Very normal," he said.
