Kate Middleton is reported to have made a conciliatory phone call to Meghan Markle in an effort to mend fences following the publication of a revealing book by insider Omid Scobie titled Endgame. This book, which unveiled contentious details about the discord between the Sussexes and the Waleses, further intensified the ongoing royal controversy initiated by Harry and Meghan's remarks about racial comments made regarding their children's skin color in a notable interview with Oprah Winfrey.

An inside source disclosed to In Touch Weekly that the Princess of Wales took the initiative to reach out to Meghan in the wake of the book's revelations. "Kate made the effort to contact Meghan to address the situation directly after the book’s claims surfaced," the source explained, noting that the outreach was at the behest of King Charles. "After William opted not to engage, Charles tasked Kate with the role of intermediary."

This development emerges amidst additional turmoil surrounding the Kates, particularly concerning her uncle Gary Goldsmith's controversial decision to participate in the Celebrity Big Brother show. Described as the "black sheep" of Kate's maternal family and known for his extravagant lifestyle, Goldsmith's participation in the reality show has caused consternation among the Middleton family, who are apprehensive he might divulge private family matters to his fellow contestants.

Concerns are rife that Goldsmith might reveal intimate details about the family during his time on the program.

Known for his support of his niece Kate and Prince William, the 58-year-old Goldsmith has assured he will engage in discussions on a range of topics, much to the delight of the show's producers. Although he has a history of championing Kate and William, it's anticipated he'll express preferences for certain royal family members over others.
Sources close to Goldsmith assert he will speak highly of Kate, emphasizing his intention to protect the family's reputation. A source told the Sun, "He aims to defend his family. Gary would never do anything to cause embarrassment to Kate or William, whom he holds in high regard.” While positive about Kate and William, Goldsmith may offer insights into Kate's recent health and her recovery from surgery, as well as his perspective on King Charles' health issues. However, it's unlikely he'll delve into Charles and Camilla, about whom he has not previously spoken publicly.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, on the other hand, might not fare as well in Goldsmith's commentary. He has openly criticized the couple and could voice his opinions on their decisions and the controversies surrounding their relocation to the U.S. Goldsmith's disapproval of Harry and Meghan was evident following the publication of Harry's memoir Spare, which he lambasted for its portrayal of Kate.

Amidst rumors of a tell-all memoir by Goldsmith to counter allegations made in Spare, the Middleton family, particularly Carole Middleton, has expressed strong disapproval of his participation in Celebrity Big Brother.
A source told the Sun "Kate doesn't need this stress. It is infuriating for them. Gary said he's been read the riot act by Kate's mum Carole and her dad Michael.

"They aren't happy he's going into Celebrity Big Brother."

Some royal podcasters, however, encourage Goldsmith to be as outspoken as possible so they don’t have to fill space telling you what Princess Anne was wearing.
