Gary had strongly criticized the Duchess of Sussex in an article published by The Times in London. However, upon learning about Kate's cancer diagnosis, he took to Twitter to apologize for his remarks. In his tweet, the 58-year-old "Celebrity Big Brother" alum stated that the interview had been conducted a week prior and went to print before he was aware of the sad news concerning his niece.
Gary expressed his thoughts and prayers for Kate and the wider family during this difficult time. He further expressed his deep upset at the timing of the article and hoped that it would put an end to continued speculation and unfounded conspiracies. Urging support for Kate, William, and their children, he called for understanding and love.
During the interview, Goldsmith had referred to Meghan Markle as "fickle" and criticized her as being "bad for our country." He also expressed his anger at Markle's accusations of racist remarks made by members of the royal family regarding their son, Prince Archie's skin color.
Goldsmith passionately defended Kate against these allegations, stating that he grew up in a diverse community and found it infuriating that Markle would label Kate as racist. He emphasized that Kate is aware of her family's roots and takes pride in them. He concluded by stating that "Laughing Girl" (referring to Markle) is not a good person.
The Times UK acknowledged that the interview had taken place before Kate, aged 42, shared a video message in which she revealed her early stages of preventative chemotherapy.
