OPINION - Lots of families have a black sheep like Kate Middleton's Uncle Gary — embrace it
The approved response to the Princess of Wales’s bad Uncle Gary is that of “royal expert” Rupert Bell, who has surfaced to say that it would be better if the wretched man had not appeared on Celebrity Big Brother on account of it putting Kate even more in the spotlight.

The rest of us may take an altogether different approach. Granted, , 58, (he’s had four). Despite this, he’s also recognisably human. More precisely, he represents the reality that lots of families have an Uncle Gary: a relation who reminds those who have made good of what they’ve come from.
