Gary Goldsmith, Kate Middleton’s uncle, has called Meghan Markle a “stick in the spokes” of the British royal family, adding he hoped Prince Harry would make a return to the royal fold at some point. Goldsmith reportedly told his housemates in Tuesday night’s episode of British reality show Celebrity Big Brother: “I have an opinion that Harry was really, really really loved and when they were a threesome, so Kate, William and Harry they looked really comfortable together, and then suddenly there’s an extra dynamic that comes in, puts a stick in the spokes and creates so much drama that I don’t genuinely think is there, and rewrote the history, saying how unhappy he was and I just don’t think that’s fair. I mean you can’t throw your family under the bus in such a dramatic style, then write books about it and expect to be invited round for Christmas.” He added: “I think it’s really sad. At some point I think [Harry] is going to come back and be a part of the gang again. He might need to. We are a very forgiving nation, it would be nice if he did.”
