Celebrity Big Brother star Gary Goldsmith has said he was overwhelmed with pride over the way his niece Kate Middleton handled the way she made her cancer diagnosis public - and said it was "beautifully" done.
The 58-year-old businessman turned reality TV star, admitted he had yet to speak to the Princess of Wales since her cancer announcement, eight days ago. Her brave announcement came after incessant speculation over her whereabouts. But he claimed during a recent interview that he has since sent messages to Kate to let her know how much he loves her.
Unfortunately, it wasn't that long ago an interview was published in Times Magazine just hours after Kate's shocking medical news, where Gary said he didn't believe she and Prince William "were at their happiest." Realising the ill-timed interview would leave a bad taste in the mouth of the public and his own family, the CBB star took to Twitter and explained the interview and shoot had been done a week earlier and went to print before he was aware "of the sad news regarding my niece Kate."

Speaking of whether he'd had contact with Kate, he said: "I have been in touch with my sister Carol to make sure my niece is okay. I thought Kate handled it incredibly well, especially in such a difficult and tricky situation."
He added: "I don’t know anybody else who's had to deal with something like that, deal with their children and then have to offer explanations to the national and international media in such a public scenario. She did it beautifully. It was handled very well, she was honest and transparent and it does feel like she’s on the mend and it’s all preventive."

Before Kate went public with her tragic news, her whereabouts became the subject of much speculation - as many feared for her well-being. But Gary claimed the speculation "hurt me." He continued: "I would hope that they’re more sophisticated and the people around them have shown more caution and they haven´t read or listened to everything that’s been published and have chosen to focus on their family first."
He went on to say: "But it’s hard to imagine that they haven’t been affected by so many comments and conspiracy theories. I have sent messages to Kate so she knows what I feel and the love I have for her.” Placing himself in hot water once again, Gary, who is known for being the controversial family member of the Middleton family, told a Spanish magazine: "Kate’s work is evident in her work for the Royal Family, while Diana had her own interests. She sought her own publicity. I don't know if everything Diana did was in the country's interest."
