Kate's uncle has been slammed for admitting he's never met the Duchess of Sussex on Celebrity Big Brother.
Gary Goldsmith, 58, was asked by fellow Big Brother contestant Louis Walsh if he had ever met Meghan Markle, 42.
Goldsmith replied saying: "No. So, I have an opinion that Harry was really, really loved. Massively loved.
"And when they were a threesome, so Kate, William and Harry, they looked really comfortable together, and loved.

"And then suddenly, there is an extra dynamic that comes in, puts a stick in the spokes, and creates so much drama that I don't genuinely think was there, and rewrote the history and said how unhappy he was.
"And I just don't think that's fair.
"You can't throw your family under a bus in such a dramatic style, they're writing books about it, and expected to be invited round for Christmas!"
Royal fans took to social media to slam the Princess of Wales's uncle for criticising Meghan, despite admitting he has never met the duchess.
