Kate Middleton’s uncle strikes CrownHis family’s account: ‘Funny and fantastic’
The London businessman has been candid about media portrayals of the royal family before. In January, Fr Crownportrayed his sister and her family, calling parts of the Netflix series “funny and fantastic.”
“Really, I really enjoyed the first few episodes and the first series Crownbut it just seems to drift off into this fantasy world,” Goldsmith said on the podcast The Crown: Fact or Fiction. “There are so many parts of it that I don’t agree with, and I think the story is also an attempt to make headlines and watch audiences. So when it started to get ridiculous and fantastical, it was very hard to watch, so I stopped.”
Goldsmith also took a moment to address his previous controversies in the Celebrity Big Brother UK place.
“I often read that people think I’m a bit of a bad guy,” he said. “It would be nice to clear everything up, but cheering people on is probably my favorite hobby. Every part of me is imbued with mischief and danger.”
“I’m an absolute nightmare to live with,” he joked, adding: “There’s a reason I’ve had four wives.”
Princess mother Carole Middleton’s brother sparked controversy after he was arrested in 2017 for assaulting his fourth and current wife Julie-Ann during an argument outside their London home. According to prosecutors, the couple had been arguing after a drunken night out and Goldsmith punched his wife, causing her to hit her head on the ground.
