Princess Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith ‘was about to publish tell-all book about Meghan & Harry’ before CBB stint
PRINCESS Kate’s uncle was about to publish a tell-all book about Meghan and Harry before his Celebrity Big Brother stint, a source has claimed.
Gary Goldsmith, the brother of Kate’s mum Carole, is set to walk into the world’s most surveillance-filled gaff ready to spill royal secrets.
The “black sheep” of the Middleton family will appear on the nation’s screens tonight after negotiating a hefty contract with ITV show bosses.
Ahead of his entrance, businessman Goldsmith had been putting the “final touches” to his memoir, it is said.
Fears about what the 58-year-old could reveal on CBB are already heightened after he previously scorned Harry and Meghan following the release of Spare.
Goldsmith is now hoping to “set to record straight” and give the Middletons “a voice” with his book following the Sussexes damaging bombshells, reports OK Magazine.
The controversial millionaire first spoke about writing a memoir in 2013 and planned on basing it around his journey to success.

But now he will also add in some “private family details”.
A source told the magazine: “He did originally plan to focus the book on himself and his journey to becoming a millionaire, but he will now add in some private family details.”
It comes as the Princess of Wales recuperates at home following abdominal surgery nearly seven weeks ago.
It is understood the Palace is also anxious about what Gary might say about the royals and Kate’s family.
A source exclusively told The Sun: “Gary said he’s been read the riot act by Kate’s mum Carole and her dad Michael.
“They aren’t happy he’s going into Celebrity Big Brother.
“It is infuriating for them. Kate doesn’t need this stress.”
Despite the family’s concerns, those close to him have insisted he will only speak fondly of niece Kate.
But the source warned Prince Harry and wife Meghan could be in Kate’s uncle’s firing line.
Goldsmith, 58, went into hiding in a London hotel after arriving at the ITV studios yesterday.
He will appear tonight during Celebrity Big Brother’s live launch.
GARY’S SCANDALS
The businessman made £30million after launching an IT company but became embroiled in scandal.
In 2009 he was caught cutting lines of cocaine for a sex worker at a wild party in Ibiza.
And he dodged jail when found guilty of hitting his fourth wife, Julie-Ann, in a drunken row.
The Sun first revealed in January how Gary had signed his ITV contract.
He is the CBB’s most controversial contestant and is joining celebrities including TV star Sharon Osbourne, music guru Louis Walsh and presenter Fern Britton.
Other stars including Coronation Street actor Colson Smith and Strictly Come Dancing’s Nikita Kuzmin are also locked down in the secret location ahead of tonight’s first episode.
Insiders said ITV think Gary will become a firm favourite for his straight-talking and the insight he could give on his niece — who will one day become Queen.
He previously auditioned for I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here! but telly sources claimed ITV backtracked after fearing he may cause embarrassment for the Palace.
