Exclusive Interview with Gary Goldsmith: Kate Middleton’s Cancer Diagnosis and the Media Firestorm.

On March 30, 2024, at 3:10 PM EDT, Kate Middleton’s maternal uncle Gary Goldsmith spoke in an exclusive interview with Spanish show ¡De Viernes! about the Princess of Wales’ handling of her cancer diagnosis. Goldsmith praised Kate for her grace in the difficult and tricky scenario of having to explain it to both national and international media. He also shared that he had been in touch with his sister Carol Middleton to ensure Kate’s well-being.

The media and online frenzy surrounding Kate’s whereabouts intensified when a digital photo of her and her three children was removed by major photo agencies due to suspected manipulation. Kate took responsibility for editing the photo and expressed her apologies for any confusion it caused in a statement shared on social media. Eventually, rumors were put to rest on March 22 when Kate revealed in a video message that she had been diagnosed with cancer after a planned abdominal surgery in January and was undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

Goldsmith expressed concern for Kate, her family, and how they were affected by comments and conspiracy theories surrounding the situation. He conveyed his love and support to Kate through messages to assure her of his feelings. Goldsmith had recently participated in the U.K. reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother, where he was the first housemate to be evicted by a public vote on March 8.
