We all have our share of unique relatives, and the Duchess of Cambridge is no exception. For starters, she's got the distant cousin she barely knows, Katrina Darling, who's made a career out of getting naked and having her photo taken; and then she has the crazy uncle (don't we all), who famously owned a place in Ibiza called Casa Bang Bang, where he was filmed sniffing coke.
And sadly for Kate, Uncle Bang Bang (real name Gary Goldsmith) is back.
Goldsmith recently sat down for an interview with Hello! magazine, and while he didn't exactly say anything scathing about the pregnant Duchess, he did reveal something Kate probably doesn't want the world to know. Heyo!
Uncle Gary said that "everything seems to come very easily" for his niece Pippa, but for Kate -- she has to "work really hard at everything." He continued: "She is brilliant at whatever she turns her hand to, but works at it, throwing herself into everything. Whereas Pip, everything seems to come very easily."
Is this a massive insult to Kate? No, of course it isn't. He's essentially calling her a hard-worker. But A) I don't think Kate appreciates her rando relatives giving accounts of the kind of person she is, and B) don't we all think everything Kate does/is is 100 percent natural? Little to no effort involved? We think of her as a royal born to (very rich) commoners, no? We don't want to see how the sausage is made!
Well, whatever "work" Kate's doing, it's working. Girl went and found herself a prince and then married the guy. Just goes to show you -- sometimes you've just gotta roll up your sleeves and get dirty. Or, you know, you have to be born really tall and pretty. Either/or.
Do you think of Kate's uncle's comments are whack?

well that is life some people have to work hard ,and others it comes easy so their family is no different ,why can't family members keep their mouth shut unless they have something nice to say ,kinda thi k the Uncle is a bit jealous ,you think
I think Kate achieved a lot in her life, she went to one of the best universities, she got her degree, fell in love and got married. She is decent, well mannered and is a perfect role model for young kids. About attracting prince William on a cat walk in a see through dress? Well why not? She has a killer body and you are young only once!
I would advise you not to be jealous of her and of her successful life, this is what life planned for her and I'm happy for Kate and William :)
I think Eclipse is just voicing her opinion. Which is something we all have.
I think this title does not match the story. This was a positive comment towards Kate. This was a negative comment for Pippa.
And yes Kate got Will's attention when she wore the sheer dress on the catwalk but they were in a relationship for 10 years before getting engaged, they even broke up for a time and during that break-up Kate kept her mouth shut about the royal's to the media and THAT impressed Will. Not many women would do that, and I think he then realized Kate was the right woman for him and a great addition to the royal family.
Girl went and found herself a prince and then married the guy? Really? I think the author is whack.
As far as Uncle Footinmouth is concerned, he should be aware by now that girls for whom "things come easily" sometimes have to put out to get it. And Pippa sure seems to get around the circuit.
