Princess Kate's uncle will address Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's attacks towards the Royal Family in a new book, a royal insider has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex released his autobiography Spare in January 2023, where he included many accusatory claims about the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Gary Goldsmith, the younger brother of Carole Middleton, is reportedly preparing to “set the record straight” with a “comeback” book, which has infuriated Harry and Meghan.
Goldsmith will use the book as an opportunity to give the Middleton family "a voice", as well as share "private family details".
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex levelled a lot of criticism at Princess Kate through their numerous public platforms.
The duchess insinuated in her Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, that Kate and William were not massive huggers.
She also claimed the princess made her "cry" in her sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
The source told OK!: “When Harry was originally compiling his book, his publisher was confident William wouldn’t comment because it wouldn’t be fitting for a future King to do so.
“Harry wouldn’t have anticipated such a comeback from Kate’s family. He and Meghan won’t like it one bit and will be dreading the book’s release.”
Goldsmith, 58, first spoke about penning a book in 2013, having gained £30million through his IT recruitment business.
Kate's uncle initially insisted that he would not divulge any information that might shame his 41-year-old niece or Prince William, but it now seems he has changed his mind.
The source added: “Gary has been talking to the press a lot lately and his comments seem to have gone down well with some people, especially his criticism of Harry and Meghan.
“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.”
The insider claimed that Goldsmith will have Carole and Kate review the book before sending it to a publisher, in case any details are too shocking.
“Gary is still very close to both Carole and Kate," the source continued. "He won’t want to do anything that will embarrass them, but it could be a good way of putting a Middleton voice out there to set the record straight over some of the things Harry wrote about in Spare.”
In the six-part TV series that Harry and Meghan released in December of last year, Harry, 39, said his brother had betrayed his confidence by leaking information to the press.
He further stressed how, during a meeting concerning his and Meghan's intention to resign as senior royals, William had allegedly yelled and screamed at him.
The duke also suggested his family members could often marry “someone who would fit the mould as opposed to somebody who you are perhaps destined to be with”.
The source opined: “Meghan won’t be expecting Kate’s family to get back at her. She’s very aware that the royals ‘never complain, never explain’ as the saying goes.”
After the Duke of Sussex's memoir was released, Goldsmith explained how angry he was after he divulged details about his niece, Princess Charlotte.
He said: “This made me see red. How dare Harry share such confidence involving a young child?” Kate's uncle continued by saying that he believed Meghan was envious of the Princess of Wales as she "looks effortless" in her royal role.
