As the father-of-one discussed the Royal family with television personalities Louis Walsh and Sharon Osborne, he was asked if it was difficult being related to famous people.
“I didn’t vote for it, it happened to me, and then suddenly there’s a spotlight on you,” Mr Goldsmith replied.
“They call me the buncle! Have you heard of a buncle? Bad uncle, apparently every family has them.”
He added: “It’s difficult to get hold of Kate at the best of times, and she’s got children and I love the fact that she’s putting family first.”
The businessman said he believed the Prince and Princess were both “the saviour of the Royal family” before Mr Walsh said: “I have to ask you, have you met Meghan Markle?”
His response will be broadcast on Tuesday night’s show.
Monarchy is ‘family-centric’
Mr Goldsmith has already accused Prince Harry of throwing his family “under a bus” and has criticised the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for “having a pop” at his niece when she could not defend herself.
He told The Sun that the Princess was “beautiful on the inside” and a doting mother, describing the monarchy as “family-centric”.
“That’s why I got so upset with Harry and Meghan because you don’t put a stick into that spoke and reinvent history,” he said.
“I got pretty miffed when they had a pop at my beautiful niece who couldn’t say anything for herself.”
Meanwhile, as he entered the house, he described the Princess as “simply perfect”.
Asked if she would be watching the show, he said: “If she is, it will be behind the sofa I guess… It will be a nice one in a nice house, I can guarantee that.”
Mr Goldsmith revealed: “The first time I met William, Catherine was cooking and William said ‘Hi, do you want a cup of tea?’ Very normal.”
