During his time on Celebrity Big Brother, Kate Middleton’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, had plenty to dish about Meghan Markle. He continued to ridicule the Duchess of Sussex even after his eviction over a week ago.
Goldsmith gave an interview to The Times on March 23, just one day after his niece announced to the general public that she had been diagnosed with cancer following a routine check-up after her abdominal surgery in January. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
The Duchess of Sussex Is “Bad For Our Country” Says Goldsmith
If he didn’t hold back in the Celebrity Big Brother House, why would we expect Gary Goldsmith to do so in his interview with The Times? He said the former actress was “bad for Harry and our country,” calling her “fickle.”
Goldsmith’s furious towards Meghan stems from her accusations of racism towards her son Prince Archie, specifically regarding his skin color. Prince Harry and Meghan, on their controversial Oprah Winfrey interview from March 2021, failed to mention the names of the royal family members who discriminated against Prince Archie. However, Dutch copies of Omid Scobie’s book Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival name Kate Middleton and King Charles III as the perpetrators.
“That’s why it makes me so angry about what Meghan said about Kate,” Goldsmith said.
“Me and Carole grew up in a community as diverse as a Woolies Pick ‘n’ Mix counter. All the cultures you can think of.” He then went on to say how the racism allegations from Meghan, who he refers to as “Laughing Girl” make him “furious.”

I’m sorry, but Laughing Girl is not good people.” He also predicted that Prince Harry and Meghan’s marriage won’t last, adding: “Let’s face it, Laughing Girl isn’t going to be around forever, is she? I think she’s fickle. And I think she’s so bad for Harry and for our country.”
Goldsmith’s Public Apology Earns Backlash
Goldsmith went on to address his niece’s cancer diagnosis on X, formerly known as Twitter, and make a statement about airing his dirty laundry with no prior knowledge of Kate’s condition.
“This interview and shoot was done over a week ago and went to print before I was aware of the sad news regarding my niece Kate,” he said.
“I hope this draws a line over the continued speculation and horrible conspiracies,” he added in regards to the theories surrounding Kate’s month-long absence from the public spotlight prior to her announcement.
His apology to Kate was met with backlash as followers were outraged by his readiness to reconcile with Kate, but not Meghan, whom he publicly slandered.
“You apologize to your niece but not the woman you slandered via Media? You guys are always stripping Meghan of her humanity and not extending grace to her, just deplorable, the lot of you. Looking down on her because of her ancestry, but try to disguise it as something else,” one said.
