Kate Middleton’s Uncle Pleads Guilty To Drunkenly Punching His Wife

Kate Middleton’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith pleaded guilty in court on Tuesday to drunkenly punching his wife after the pair was on their way home from a charity event in October.

The couple’s taxi driver, Daniel Shepherd told police at the time that he saw Julie-Ann, slap her husband first, and Gary responded with a ”Left Hook”, which left her unconscious on the pavement and in need of medical attention. At the time, Gary told officers at the police station that he had pushed his wife hard with his left hand, but denied throwing a punch.

It was previously claimed that the younger brother of Carole Middleton and his fourth wife had been feuding over Gary’s alleged cocaine use.

The Duchess of Cambridge’s uncle, who has been released on bail until his sentencing hearing on November 21, pleaded guilty to an assault by beating charge.

Prosecutor Kate Shilton said of the attack: “An argument took place during the taxi ride, Mr. Goldsmith began to shout at her a both parties were drunk, having been drinking through the evening Mrs. Goldsmith said she couldn’t recall how it happened but her husband punched her in the face with a closed fist to the left side of her face. She was knocked straight to the floor and hit the back of her head on the floor.”

The charges carry a maximum of six months’ imprisonment but it is believed he will complete community service instead.
