When Harry Met Gary

Written by Pat's Papers | Monday, 25 April 2011 6:40 AM


Buckingham Palace is, apparently, trying to avoid a ‘when Harry met Gary’ situation. Every family has a black sheep who is cause for concern before a wedding. The New York Post says for Kate Middleton, that relative is Uncle Gary, her mom’s brother. And royal handlers are making a plan to keep the inveterate party boy away from “William’s exuberant younger brother and best man, Prince Harry.”  After some hemming and hawing, Gary’s been invited to all the wedding events mainly because “the prospect of Uncle Gary visiting a central London pub in the afternoon and holding forth about the family wedding was viewed inside Buckingham Palace as a recipe for disaster.” Other relatives on the watch list include Kate’s brother and sister and a burlesque dancing cousin from the north of England.
