A dispute between the Middletons, Sussexes, and Cambridges? Gary Goldsmith, Duchess Kate’s uncle, had some harsh comments regarding the continuing feud between Prince Harry and Prince William.

Gary Goldsmith, Duchess Kate’s mother’s brother, said in an interview published by Closer Magazine on Tuesday, June 1, that the Duke of Sussex, 36, has to “get a grip” before his rivalry with William, 38, escalates. “If you want an easy life, work it out privately and have a conversation respectfully. Don’t air it in public, it’s really hurtful,” Goldsmith said. “The harsh truth—in my opinion—is that if Harry doesn’t get a grip and stop this self-indulgent episode, there will soon be no common ground or relationship to rebuild.”

He added, “But if anyone can bring peace to the royals, Kate can. Kate is a brilliant arbiter and peacemaker. Every bone in her body is about making friends and doing the best she can… she’s trying to mediate.”

“Harry and Kate were great friends, they were a trio with William and a strong unit,” Kate’s uncle noted, prior to Harry’s decision to stand down as a senior working member of the royal family with his wife, Meghan Markle, in 2020. As a result, Kate, 39, “wouldn’t like that [rift] happening and she is trying to look after her husband and do what she can to make things right,” he explained.

In recent months, the Duke of Sussex has spoken freely about his time in the Royal Family, speaking with celebrities such as James Corden, Dax Shepard, and Oprah Winfrey.

Mr Goldsmith said he had felt a range of feelings toward Prince Harry in recent months.

“I went from being happy [about Harry making the decision to step down from royal life] to [being] angry [and] worried about him,” Gary, 56, said.

“Everyone is astonished.

“He wanted to step back and protect his wife, now he’s charging in.

“It’s an attack on the family – why do it?

“If you want an easy life, work it out privately and have a conversation respectfully.

“Don’t air it in public, it’s really hurtful.”

These remarks come only weeks after Prince Harry began to open up about his experiences before to his royal departure in The Me You Can’t See, his new mental health docuseries with Oprah Winfrey. In the series, which debuted on Apple TV+ on Friday, May 21, Harry recounted being greeted with “total neglect” and “total silence” whenever he sought assistance from his family for his or Meghan’s mental health.

Gary said that he is “proud” of the royal family and believes Prince Harry, 36, and his wife Meghan Markle’s accusations of racism and mental health problems would not “damage” the Firm.

Mr Goldsmith went on to advise Harry to refrain from making public comments about the Royal Family, since doing so might irreparably harm his relationship with his family.

It’s unclear how Kate feels about her uncle talking to the press, but Gary is the first to acknowledge he’s a lousy secret keeper.

According to reports, Prince William was not happy with Harry’s remarks. “William feels that Harry should discuss his issues privately and can’t comprehend why he continues to shade his own flesh and blood on TV,” a source told Us Weekly on Friday, May 21. “Of course, mental health is a serious issue, but William can’t get his head around why Harry keeps throwing his family under the bus,” the insider continued.

The couple claimed in a shocking tell-all interview in March that certain members of the royal family were concerned about Archie’s skin tone. The former actress reportedly said she suffered from depression and that Kate, 39, made her cry.
