Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith hit out against Prince Harry as he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Gary, who is the brother to the Princess of Wales’s mum Carole, said the claim she was racist about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children is ‘bulls****’.
He said: ‘I’ve got pretty miffed when they had a pop at my beautiful niece who couldn’t say anything for herself.
‘I think everyone felt the same about how much did we love Harry and then throwing your family under the bus just seemed inappropriate, especially what was happening with the Queen. I just thought it was totally unnecessary.’
A Dutch version of Omid Scobie’s book Endgame suggested Kate and King Charles made remarks about Prince Archie’s skin colour.
The book was quickly pulled from the shelves in the Netherlands and taken off sale.
Gary, 58,praised his niece, who he said he ‘could never upset’, despite his entry into the rebooted reality TV show.
He told The Sun: ‘She’s beautiful on the outside, but more beautiful on the inside and really is a doting mum . . . so the way the monarchy is moving, it’s family-centric.

‘That’s why I got so upset with Harry and Meghan because you don’t put a stick into that spoke and reinvent history.’
As he entered the compound, Gary was asked whether Kate would be watching as she recuperates at home following abdominal surgery.
He replied: ‘If she is it will be behind a sofa, I guess.’

In a video tape aired before he entered the house, Gary said of his niece: ‘She is simply perfect.
‘First time I met William, Catherine was cooking and William said, “Hi, do you want a cup of tea?” Very normal.’
His entrance comes after confusion from BB fans who thought he wasn’t set to enter the house at all, despite weeks of speculation.
