In a surprising turn of events, Gary Goldsmith, the uncle of Princess Kate Middleton, has expressed remorse for his previous criticisms of Meghan Markle, also known as the Duchess of Sussex.
In an interview with The Times UK, Goldsmith had openly criticized Markle, even giving her the moniker “laughing girl.” However, following the news of his niece’s cancer diagnosis, he has extended an apology.
The 58-year-old, known for his stint on “Celebrity Big Brother,” took to Twitter over the weekend to address the situation. He acknowledged that the interview with The Times had been conducted before he was aware of Middleton’s health struggles.
“My thoughts and prayers are with Kate and the wider family at this difficult time,” he expressed, clearly disturbed by the timing of the article’s release.
Goldsmith urged for an end to speculations and conspiracies, emphasizing the need for support and love for Kate, Prince William, and their children during this challenging period.
During the initial interview, Goldsmith had not minced words when it came to his opinions on Meghan Markle. He referred to her as “fickle” and accused her of being “bad for our country.”
Particularly incensed by Markle’s allegations of racism within the royal family, he vehemently defended his niece Kate, citing their shared upbringing in a culturally diverse community.
Goldsmith expressed fury at the suggestion that Kate would harbor racist sentiments, adamantly asserting, “Kate knows her family’s roots and is proud of them.”
The timing of Goldsmith’s apology coincides with the revelation from Middleton herself about her ongoing battle with cancer.
