Goldsmith -- the younger brother of the Duchess of Cambridge’s mother, Carole -- pleaded guilty on one count of assault by beating. He's been released on bail and will be sentenced on November 21.

Reports indicate that he'll likely face a community service order.

He was at niece Kate's wedding with Prince William back in 2011, as well as Pippa's wedding earlier this year, in May.
