Celebrity Big Brother fans jump to same conclusion after Kate Middleton's uncle Gary speaks out on her whereabouts

Celebrity Big Brother fans have all been saying the same thing after watching Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith addressing her whereabouts.

The Princess of Wales and wife to future king Prince William has been absent from the public eye since late December due to health reasons.

Kensington Palace previously explained that the 42-year-old had undergone planned abdominal surgery and had since been released from hospital, adding that the princess wishes to keep her personal information private.

But, the palace was forced to speak out once again amid wild rumours circulating on social media.

A rep for the princess said: "Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the Princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates.

"That guidance stands."

Despite the comments from the palace, online commenters were keen for more information, with some even suggesting there was more than meets the eye. This was in part fuelled by Prince William’s absence from a royal engagement last month due to a ‘personal matter.’

Many of the conspiracy theories have been harmless, with one user joking: “Not a single banksy since kate middleton disappeared. coincidence?”

But, with Kate Middleton’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, currently in the Celebrity Big Brother house, one other contestant took their chance to get some answers.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, former winner of Love Island, is also taking part in the latest series alongside Goldsmith. During last night’s broadcast when sat alone with Goldsmith, Ekin-su pondered: “Can I ask you a question? Where’s Kate?”

After taking a second to pause, Goldsmith responded: “Because she doesn’t want to talk about it, the last thing I’m going to do… there’s a code of etiquette. If it’s announced, I’ll give an opinion.”

Ekin-su was quick to mention: “I hope she’s okay.”

Goldsmith continued: “I spoke to her mum, my sister, she’s getting the best care in the world. All the family’s done is put the wagon’s round and look after family first, before anything else. But I do think they put a statement out which just said… we’ll take some time to recoup and see you in Easter.”

Following the comments, it seemed all online commenters had the same theory when it came to Goldsmith’s understanding of the princess’ condition.

The general consensus is that, perhaps, Goldsmith doesn’t really know anything at all.

One X user commented during the show: “‘She’s keeping it private’ yeah from you gary.”

Another chimed in: “Like any of Gary Goldsmith’s family would tell him anything about Kate…”

More responses flooded in, with a third adding: “Get the impression that Kate's uncle this Gary Goldsmith doesn't know anything what is going on with his niece or the Royal Family or Harry and Meghan. He's just reaping things what the British media already have put out because they recycle the same stories.”

Summing up the general mood, another user sarcastically wrote: “Gary Goldsmith can't make comment about Kate Middleton unless it's announced in the press. COMMUNITY NOTE: Gary Goldsmith doesn't have a clue about anything in The Royal Family and is told whenever he reads it in the papers.”
