Middletons snub uncle Gary

IT WAS a big family bash, but one highprofile member of the clan missed out on James Middleton’s lavish wedding to Alizee Thevenet in the South of France last weekend.

James’s maverick uncle Gary Goldsmith, 56, was notable by his absence from a guest list that included the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Wealthy businessman Gary, left, is the only brother of James and Kate’s mother, Carole, and seemed to have been caught unawares by the snub since he was holidaying in the region at the time, it is said.

Gary, who is James’s godfather, admits to being ‘disappointed’ to have missed the twice-delayed celebrations at Chateau Leoube, owned by JCB digger tycoon Lord Bamford.

Sources close to the wedding tell me it was ‘wild, fun and very drunken’… just like Gary’s kind of do.
