Kate Middleton’s uncle has accused Prince Harry of throwing the royal family “under the bus” and said claims of racism against his niece were “bull****.”

Accusing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of “reinventing history”, Gary Goldsmith said: “My family is not racist and for Kate to be portrayed as that is just so far removed from the truth, it’s ridiculous.”

The publication of Harry’s memoir Spare caused a wave of damaging global headlines for the royal family last year as the duke revealed intimate details of his relationships with his father King Charles and brother Prince William.

Gary Goldsmith, who entered the Celebrity Big Brother house on Monday night, said it is “difficult to get hold of Kate at the best of times” and that loves that his niece is “putting family first”.

Goldsmith is the brother of Kate’s mother Carole Middleton.

Laura Harding reports:

“It was the last night of working and I said, ‘Meghan, your life is going to change, and you’re going to be in a bubble, but just always remember, no matter what, I’m your friend - you have lots of friends,’” he recalled to host Chris Wallace, in a teaser obtained by People.

Brittany Mille reports:

A royal expert has warned the public to ignore online speculation about the Princess of Wales’s health as she recovers from abdominal surgery.

Kate, 42, had a planned operation on 16 January and is not expected to return to official duties until after Easter.

The future queen’s health has been the subject of online speculation after the Prince of Wales pulled out of attending a memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece due to a personal matter.

Jennie Bond told GB News: “ It is truly dangerous if we start reacting to whatever is written online.”

Kensington Palace said they would “only be providing updates when something was significant.”

Holly Patrick reports:

A royal expert has revealed where the Queen could spend some time off after it was revealed that she is to take a break following 13 official engagements without King Charles III by her side.

Camilla does not have any engagements planned until the Commonwealth Day service on 11 March.

According to Daily Mail reports, Camilla will spend some time with her family before taking a private plane on Monday (4 March).

“She will probably spend a lot of time down at Ray Mill, her house down in Wiltshire,” royal correspondent Michael Cole told GB News.

Holly Patrick reports:

Speaking to Sharon Osbourne on the reality show on Tuesday, the 58-year-old said of Harry: “I think it’s really sad. At some point, I think he’s going to come back and be part of the gang – he might need to. I think we’re a very forgiving nation, I think everyone would give him a chance.”

For the occasion, Mordaunt wore a show-stealing teal caped gown, embroidered with a fern motif in a nod to the privy council, designed by luxury ready-to-wear brand Safiyaa. The teal colour, called “Poseidon”, is a reference to her Portsmouth constituency.

Maira Butt reports:

Doubt has been cast over the Princess of Wales’ first official royal duty since she underwent abdominal surgery.

The Army announced on its website on Tuesday that Kate Middleton would attend a Trooping the Colour on 8 June. However, it did so without first consulting Kensington Palace. The Independent understands the website will soon be updated.

It is understood the event details were published by the Army based on the Princess’ role as Colonel of The Irish Guards. The colonel of the regiment reviews the parade each year, one week before Trooping The Colour, with the Irish Guards set to troop their colour this year.

Starring Nicholas Galitzine as the king’s adored secret lover, George Villiers (the 1st Duke of Buckingham), and Julianne Moore as his social-climbing mother, Mary, the series was “inspired by” Benjamin Woolley’s 2017 non-fiction book, The King’s Assassin, and maybe also by Yorgos Lanthimos’ Oscar-winner film, The Favourite. This means that facts aren’t allowed to get in the way of a good story.

Which is fine. As the author of The Favourite, the non-fiction story of Sarah Churchill’s relationship with Queen Anne, I know that real life doesn’t always give you the pace and compact drama that successful fiction needs.
