Gary Goldsmith appeared to discuss his relationship with niece Kate Middleton.

During his stint on ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother, he discussed the Princess of Wales’ health and related conspiracy theories, claiming that she tends to keep her cards close to her chest regardless of the scenario.

As a result, the royal family’s silence on her health status does not worry him.

“It’s difficult to get hold of Kate at the best of times, and she’s got children and I love the fact that she’s putting family first,” Gary added.

Kate underwent stomach surgery in January, followed by an extended absence from the public spotlight, sparking conjecture about her location.

During a talk on the reality series, her uncle lambasted conspiracy theories and asked internet users to “leave her alone.”

“There’s a reason why [the family are] not talking about it and they are giving her a little bit of space,” he said. “I just think it’s fundamentally wrong and if it was happening to anybody else they would think to give them some space. But because Kate’s Kate, she does such an amazing job, there’s always interest in her,” Gary went on to say.

In a personal greeting to the future Queen of England on television, he continued, “Kate, get well, love you and when you’re ready we’ll see you again. That’s what we do to anyone else, why not her?”
