However, the same source hinted that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could end up being targets for Gary. Especially because he has been vocal with his thoughts n the past.

Gary has had the privilege of attending Prince Williams and Kate’s wedding in 2011, and he also rubbed shoulders with more royals at Kate’s sister Pippa’s wedding in 2017 to billionaire James Matthews. However, in recent times, it is thought that Kate’s mum’s brother has very much become and outsider of the family.
The source went on to tell the same publication: “In the eyes of the public, Gary’s become the black sheep of the Middleton family. Carole is his sister, so there will always be love, but they no longer see eye-to-eye on lots of things.”

“He has said he doesn’t have their blessing to go into the house but is going full steam ahead anyway. He wants to defend his family. Gary wouldn’t do anything to embarrass Kate or William, who he thinks a lot of, ” explained the same source.
While it wasn’t believed that Gary could make a show of Kate or William, the same person was unsure what Gary could reveal when it came to Harry and Meghan. Especially because he had a pop at Harry after the book Spare launched last year.
Speaking of the book back in October, Gary aired his views on the matter at the time: “I’m particularly appalled by his vile confection of half-truths and complete fabrications because Kate is my adored niece. Kate is self-sufficient, resourceful and extremely capable. She is not a drama queen.”
