Duchess Kate's uncle arrested for assault
The British Royal Family is in damage control with reports confirming Duchess Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith has been arrested and charged with assault.
Police reportedly arrested Goldsmith following a suspected domestic dispute with his wife Julie-Anne Brown, at around 1:30am in the morning, UK time.
Goldsmith tweeted the photo of the couple at a charity auction and seemingly in good spirits hours before the incident, but things would quickly turn sour.
A taxi driver told local media that things were starting to get heated between the two as he was driving them back to their place from the event.
“They wanted to go to their house. They were arguing, saying quite rude stuff. We got to the house, he paid the fare. She was trying to open the door [of the house] so he went over," Daniel Shepherd told The Times.
“She started crying and said, ‘Call the police, call the police.’ I did. The police came. He got arrested. They wanted lots of details. I had to give reports."
This wouldn’t be the first time Goldsmith has found himself on the wrong side of the law, with stories from 2009 linking him to drug use in Ibiza, Spain.
Kensington Palace has not yet issued a statement.
