Gary Goldsmith, uncle to Princess Kate, shot to notoriety earlier this year when he took part in Celebrity Big Brother.
Princess Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith hit out at Meghan Markle as he expressed anger at comments she supposedly made about his niece.
In an interview with The Times’ Saturday Magazine shortly after he left the Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) house, Mr Goldsmith referred to the Duchess of Sussex as “Laughing Girl” and criticised her attitude towards the Royal Family, as he said in a six-word swipe: “Laughing Girl is not good people.”
He told the publication after Meghan allegedly implied that Kate was racist: “That’s why it makes me so angry about what Meghan said about Kate.
“Me and Carole grew up in a community as diverse as a Woolies pick’n’mix counter. All the cultures you can think of. The idea that Laughing Girl says Kate is racist makes me furious.
“Kate knows her family’s roots and is proud of them. I’m sorry, but Laughing Girl is not good people.”

When it came to Prince Harry the CBB star had more harsh words, as he exclaimed: “And then you’ve got Harry. F*** me! He and that woman are chasing the American corporate dollar and that is so, so ugly.
“William, Harry and Kate were such a happy little trio and it got totally ruined. With all that going on – and there is other stuff going on that is not in the public domain – are they at their absolute happiest? No. Their kids bring them a lot of joy, but no.”
The interview was unfortunately released the day after Kate shared a heartbreaking video to her social media channels revealing that she had been diagnosed cancer.

Her uncle took to X to apologise for the poor timing, explaining: “As many will have seen, I am featured in Saturday’s “Times Magazine”.
“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. My thoughts and prayers are with Kate and the wider family at this difficult time and deeply upset at the timing of this article.
“I hope this draws a line over the continued speculation and horrible conspiracies. Let’s give Kate, William and the children time and show some love back.”

The Times also shared a warning with the article clarifying that it had been written and went to print before news about Kate’s health became public.
The Princess of Wales has been away from royal duties since the start of the year, when she was admitted to hospital in London for planned abdominal surgery.
Then on March 22 she announced that cancer had been detected and that she would be undergoing preventative chemotherapy, as she asked the public to respect her and her family’s privacy during this difficult time.
