Princess Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith expressed his dislike for Meghan Markle, not holding back when sharing his thoughts. In a recent interview with London's The Times on March 23, Goldsmith stated his belief that Meghan's marriage to Prince Harry won't last.
"I don't think Laughing Girl will be around forever. She seems fickle to me and I believe she's not good for Harry or our country," Goldsmith said frankly.
The outlet confirmed that the Duchess of Sussex, 42, is referred to as "Laughing Girl" by the Celebrity Big Brother alum. The interview took place over a week before Kate, also 42, revealed her cancer diagnosis.
Goldsmith expressed his displeasure with Markle accusing the royal family of making racist remarks while discussing his niece.
Goldsmith expressed his anger towards Meghan's comments about Kate, emphasizing that no royals were actually named in the discussion. Meghan had mentioned a family conversation about Archie's skin color before his birth in May 2019.
Goldsmith, who grew up in a diverse community with Carole Middleton, defended Kate against accusations of racism. He highlighted Kate's awareness and pride in her family's roots, stating his strong disapproval of Meghan's remarks.

Goldsmith also pointed out that Meghan and Harry may be contributing to the decrease in happiness for Kate and Prince William. He mentioned the stressors of Queen Elizabeth II's death, Charles' cancer battle, and Prince Andrew's scandal. Goldsmith specifically criticized Prince Andrew for his arrogance and naivety, stating that no one would want an uncle like him. He also expressed frustration towards Harry, using strong language to emphasize his point.
He continued by expressing his thoughts on the situation, mentioning that he believes the couple is focused on pursuing financial opportunities in America, which he finds unattractive. He noted that the once happy trio of William, Harry, and Kate has been disrupted. Despite the challenges they are facing, including undisclosed issues, he questioned if they are truly at their happiest, although their children bring them joy.
Regardless of the current circumstances, Goldsmith remains optimistic that Harry will eventually reconcile with the family through a simple apology. He also mentioned his expectation that Harry will be single again in the future.
"I don't have any inside information, but I feel like the royal family will never completely turn their backs on Harry," he said. "It's naive of him to think he can criticize his family and still expect to be welcomed for Christmas at Sandringham. How foolish can you be? Harry wouldn't even make it onto my pub quiz team, but we all loved him and he had the best job in the world. Despite having all the privileges, his royal duties were reduced. He had the grand house, money, played polo, and could choose his royal patronages, although everyone knew he was a bit eccentric with his prince title. I believe he will return, but only if he apologizes. Upsetting his grandmother is unacceptable. But let's be honest, the Queen won't be here forever, right? I think she's unpredictable. And I believe she's a bad influence on Harry and our country."
Harry and Meghan, who got married in 2018, have two children together: Archie, 4, and Lili, 2. Despite their strained relationship with William and Kate, both reportedly reached out privately after Kate revealed on Friday that she is undergoing "preventative chemotherapy" following her cancer diagnosis. They also released a public statement expressing their support.
“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” Harry and Meghan said in a statement to We.
