Upon his arrival, Gary endeavored to reassure viewers and the royal family that he would exercise prudence and deference in his discussions about the family, asserting his trustworthiness to avoid causing them any embarrassment.
“I have a deep affection for my family, and they are aware that I am a reliable and trustworthy individual.” I have genuine and sincere intentions towards my family. I truly adore them and hold great admiration for their work. In his last interview before joining the show, he confidently affirmed, “I am inherently a supporter of the monarchy.”
Nevertheless, when Louis Walsh asked Gary if he had encountered Meghan Markle, his reply emphasized a noticeable change in the royal relationship.
“Harry was deeply adored.” When it was only Kate, William, and Harry, they had a strong sense of ease and familiarity in each other’s company. Unexpectedly, an additional dynamic emerges and disrupts the situation. The situation generates an excessive amount of conflict that, in my sincere opinion, does not actually exist. Furthermore, it distorts the past, asserting that they are dissatisfied with our actions. “I believe that is unjust,” he explained in more detail.
Gary expressed additional disapproval of Meghan and Harry’s public disclosures regarding their encounters within the royal family.
“One cannot simply betray their family, publicize it in books, and then anticipate a smooth reconciliation, being welcomed back for Christmas as if no harm was done,” he commented, succinctly expressing his perspective on the couple’s behavior and its consequences on familial ties.
He initiated a conversation with Sharon Osbourne, specifically asking for her opinion on the American viewpoint regarding the Harry and Meghan saga.
Sharon pondered, “Initially, America wholeheartedly welcomed them.” However, as time has passed, the level of interest has gradually decreased. Some of their endeavors have not been well-received. The current situation is a combination of positive and negative aspects.
Gary’s comments extended beyond Meghan Markle. He commended Princess Kate, his niece, for her significant role and considerable influence within the royal family. “Kate is extraordinarily exceptional.” Currently, she requires personal space, and it is advisable for the general public to respect her need for solitude. “She holds the top position among the royals due to specific qualities,” he stated, emphasizing her significance and attractiveness to the general population.

Goldsmith, despite his previous scandals, which included a conviction for assault, made an appearance on the show with the purpose of presenting an alternative aspect of his character to the general public.
“I am not the antagonist that some portray me as.” I aim to exhibit the authentic persona of Gary Goldsmith to a wide audience. Indeed, I have committed errors, but it is a universal experience. “I am present with the intention of enjoying myself and potentially achieving victory,” he proclaimed, demonstrating his determination and longing for vindication in the public’s perception.
