Kate Middleton‘s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, criticized Meghan Markle in an interview with The Times in London last week but has now apologized following Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
Goldsmith referred to Meghan as “Laughing Girl” and criticized her, stating, “Let’s face it, Laughing Girl isn’t going to be around forever, is she? I think she’s fickle and bad for Harry and the country.”
Goldsmith’s animosity towards Meghan stems from her remarks about alleged racism within the Royal Family, which he believes targeted Kate.
Despite Meghan and Harry’s sympathy towards Kate, Goldsmith remained critical, stating, “The accusation that Kate is racist angers me. Kate is proud of her family’s heritage. Laughing Girl is not a good person.”
Expressing regret, Goldsmith commented on the impact of recent events on the happiness of William, Harry, and Kate, implying ongoing turmoil within the family.
In a statement, Goldsmith expressed remorse for his prior remarks, citing the timing of the article in light of Kate’s health struggles and offering prayers for her and the family during this challenging period.

He concluded with a call to end speculations and malicious gossip, urging support and compassion for Kate, William, and their children during this challenging time.
The reaction of the Royal Family to Goldsmith’s comments remains unclear, but it is evident that they are displeased with his public statements.
